Shock: Vista Is Broken

Yeah sure, I admit that I am a Vista-basher, so articles like this, I tend to be drawn to. But how can I help it? I have given Vista many chances, chances where I would give Vista a fresh start… ignoring all the previous problems I’ve had. Well, Vista has never, not once impressed me, with anything, therefore I continue to rant about it. Joe Wilcox of Microsoft-Watch shares pretty much the same wavelength I do when it comes to the reasons of why Vista has thus far failed, and why.

Windows XP is a successful product. Service Pack 2 made the operating system rock-solid reliable, and five years in the marketplace made for customer familiarity and a broad infrastructure of supporting applications, peripherals and PCs. For many people, Windows XP achieves what some analysts call the “good enough” threshold. When something is good enough, its successor or replacement has to be a whole lot better to succeed.
