Great Scott!... how can I be hating MS while at the same time I am saying XP
is superb? Did you even read my other post? I am not an MS basher...
I just dont like bad software.

You can close your ears and go ahead and buy your vista. By all means..
camp out of the store a week earlier to get vista first.. what do I care.

I cannot argue with someone who is inflexible and does not want to learn.

Why do you keep posting? People aren't gonna listen to you. Anyone who
wants Vista (like me) isn't going to change their mind just because you
think it's crap. I've got the money ready, as soon as Jan 30th hits I'll
be in the shop buying it. Anything you post here won't make the slightest
difference. Everyone can have an opinion, but you seem obsessed with
hating Vista and MS in gerneral.

Microsoft has blundered big time. I think that the company will suffer
greatly with
this new product line. Bad concepts and design of these programs will
plague them for years.

The ultimate winner: Windows Vista. And you think nothing could be worse
than windows ME!
Reason: Every aspect of this OS is horrible. From its looks, to all the
changes they made,to the things they should have done but didn't, they
took XP and twisted it into a monstrosity.

Worse browser: IE7 wins this title hands down. Its non customizable
interface with
bad design, its poorly implemented tabs, and the multitude of bugs makes
this software of beta quality and never should have been released.

Worse Office suite: Office 2007 because of its huge bloat, and the ribbon
(the new toolbar), which will go down in history as the stupidest
interface ever implemented in an office program.

Worse Media player: WMP11. Because it is damn ugly and failed to add the
things people really needed.

Worse email client: Windows live mail desktop, because the design follows
the
same concepts of vista, again they took outlook express... and made a
monster out of it.

Having said all that, I have to say that there is one stand alone MS
product that is good,
IF you tweak it and customize it. Live messenger 8

The bright side to all this, is that the failures of the above software
will open up the doors to new
developers, to make new innovative applications that will provide service
and joy to humanity in 2007.
