Vista is a commercial failure, no business in it's right mind would ever, ever use it.
Funny, people said the same thing about XP when it was released, because of the gaping security holes that remained right up until SP2. they didn't jump to Windows 2000 immediately either. Businesses always wait a few years before they even consider changing OS's, because it's alot of money to upgrade all of their computers and they want to make sure they avoid as many potential problems as possible to cut IT costs. Standard procedure.
It's just plain horrible if you want to do anything remotely technical - it bombards the user with constant, pointless "are-you-sure-you-want-to-do-this" messages
Those messages took me about a minute to disable, and they were put in place (as someone already mentioned) as a reaction to the aforementioned security problems that plagued XP
Anybody who argues that Mac OS X is a poorer OS than VIsta is out of their mind OS X hardly ever crashes and has very, very few bugs all in all a much more stable & user friendly OS than anything Microsoft could ever make.
Really? I've been using Vista for over a year now, and I've yet to run into a single crash or bug. I've actually had more problems with Linux, which is usually considered one of the most stable OS's ever made. I'd say it's pretty user friendly, too, but that's really a personal preference thing.
The Sad fact is that pretty much every game released recently (even ones made by Microsoft!) are build on computers using OS X because Vista is a steaming pile of **** when it comes to doing real purposeful work
Do you have proof to back that claim up, or are you just making stuff up and hoping nobody calls you on it?
You can argue that it plays more games than Mac, which it does but more often than not it doesn't due to compatibility issues with games still designed to run on XP so even that doesn't work as intended
I've had a grand total of three games not work on Vista, and all three are because they're older games that use 16 bit code (I have 64-bit Vista). I have a 32-bit laptop that plays all three, anyway. Are you really arguing that Mac OS is a better gaming platform than Vista?
Remember folks, there's a reason Microsoft have extended XP's mandate to hardware manufacturers since people weren't buying into Vista
No, they extended the support cutoff because they were naive to think they could speed up the adoption process artificially. Windows 2000 is still being supported until 2010.
there's also a reason why Vista is due to begin being phased out this time next year - it's a bad OS
No, it's because Microsoft has always used a 2-3 year release cycle. XP is the only Microsoft OS that wasn't replaced within that timeframe.
Please, stop spouting crap about a subject you obviously know very little about.
