Or the people who have the power to run it but have run into various bugs or problems.
Regardless, the very fact that you need the latest and greatest machine just to run the OS is a problem in of itself.
True, and thats why there is XP. I will admit that vista was one big fluke and thats why microsoft is coming out with Windows 7 sometime in the next two years.
Nevertheless, those that DO have powerful machines can run vista very smoothly. Besides, there are many tweaks to tone down vista and I've done them and it works pretty damn well,
XP with SP3 is a great OS. But we've all gotta move on. If you remember when XP came out, everyone was bashing it right and left. "98 Is much better, why go to XP, it has so many bugs." And now look at it.
It just comes to prove my point that people are always going to bash the newest OS and say their old one is fine. Technology is advancing and so should we.
