Some people defend Windows vista saying, "Windows XP was like that, and Windows Vista will get better, well I call that: "The sorry state of a person that cannot see reality". It is true people will whine over the next MS release, because at least we hope Vista will get better (hardly tough in my opinion) and when the next version arrives say, Why a new revolutionary system?. I am/was running Vista (I’m doing backups and moving everything to Linux) but we have to face reality, some of the problems Windows face: Vista File copy/paste operations is slow, in fact all operations are slower on Vista, most of the problems it has cannot be listed here cause they are too much, yeah they fixed the boot up and shutdown speed but what a deal if my PC is turned on 90% of the day. I used Windows XP since it was RTM and I remember it wasn’t perfect but it was solid, not rock solid though (SP2 has made it ROCK SOLID). Vista cannot be called solid as of this day, just a bit improved since RTM. We should wake up and see the truth, we will not go anywhere if we just keep saying "yeah, maybe SP1 and SP2 will fix things". as the Spanish saying goes: "If you pay the musician before he plays, he doesn’t play at his best". MS is just like that musician that gets paid ahead of time, overconfident on how no matter what they do wrong we will pay for their product cause we’ve made them believe we need them.

Just my Opinion.
