If XP works better for you, then that's great, but why do people seem to think that everyone else & their grandmother should care? Every day I see a new blog that makes it to the front page of Reddit or Digg bashing Vista. Why? Most of these blogs don't have any actual complaints or give any solid examples. They just complain that to delete a shortcut on the desktop takes 10 steps when I can do it in 1, the same number it took in XP.
I'm not trying to belittle your issues, but just like right now it's cool to like Linux it's uncool to like Vista.
Posts like this one prove my point
And Silent_Jay, Unless you can provide more than just anecdotal evidence I'm not even touching that. This isn't the thread and I have a feeling you're being obtuse on purpose. |
All of this goes the other way, though. You're assuming that because you personally haven't had a lot of trouble with Vista that everyone else is griping 'to be cool.' Meanwhile an unacceptably large percentage of the population is having difficulties that in some cases are making their computers or software completely unusable. This is completely unacceptable, especially when an 'upgrade' is completely arbitrary and offers nothing substantial in the way of new features.
The Linux is userbase is, by and large, much more tech savvy then the general population. You admittedly have to be in order to use Linux. Most of them hate Microsoft and Windows. A large percentage of them switched to Linux specifically to get away from using Microsoft products. That doesn't strike you as odd?
