They aim for an OS release every 3-5 years. Viena Blackcomb was in the works near the same time Vista Longhorn betas were rolling out. If they do not work on 2 or 3 at a time, it would take much longer than 3-5 years to release a new OS. It sucks when common sense prevails, I know.

They're not. Plus, the only problems come from retards and people with 12 year old printers.

Too bulky, and still a lot of compatability issues.  There's no reason for an OS to use that many resources.  I'd take XP almost always over Vista.

I do love some of the new things Vista has though, like automatic recovery after BSoD  :love:
It also automatically fixes itself if the boot sector stops working, which I don't understand, but also love.

If you bought a machine in the past three years, you can run Vista no problem. It scales quite nicely. It has a bit too much with it, I agree, but there is almost no performance issues compared to other OS's on current machines. Vista has a ton of good features that puts it above XP, IMO. The main is its stability. I haven't had to reformat my Vista machine in over a year. My XP machines with similar or less use need to be reformatted about every 4 months. Add all the small things it does right- font rendering, navigation, aspect ratios, icon flexibility, bit locker, calendar, media center, mobility center, etc. As for compatibility issues, that is definitely not Vista's fault. People expect the same software to work that worked on 3.1. That's asinine. Vendors had years to develop proper drivers. But hey, atleast you have the option to upgrade your computer. It's your fault if you buy something that is not supported, or own it while buying Vista.

What card you got? It's not exactly MS's fault nvidia and ATI are too lazy to produce quality drivers.

PS. Please show me the last article that was actually pro MS. The press is caught up in the MS is the big bad uncle and Apple is the hip cool kid, despite them being the exact same company.

OH.  Ha!  I gotcha.

I guess having the same PC for the past 5 years has left me out of the "loop".

it's the intel thing.  nothing fancy.

The os doesn't crash. The driver does but still.

I don't like all the extra stuff loaded up and taking memory on my computer.

Have you upgraded your drivers? Also, Windows gives you the options to disable the start up of programs. It's pretty easy to do. Nothing worth starting a thread over.
