I know Vista is a solid OS, Makaveli. But the bottom line is, in a lot of cases currently out there right now... does it work? Sure, maybe it's a problem with Vista, it's not perfect. Maybe it's a driver problem, we all know they can suck too.
But the bottom line is, if it doesn't work... it doesn't work. Some people need an OS to be efficient and productive, and whether it's a driver issue or OS issue, if Vista can't provide the needed performance, then why bother??
I just talked to the IT Director at the local high school, where I just recently acquired an internship. I asked him out of curiosity what all Windows machines are running, he said XP. I said any sign of Vista in the future? He said oh no no no. He said I'll make sure all of the machines we buy in the future are Vista ready, with a minimal of 2gb of RAM, however I refuse to be the one to dive into Vista right now. No way. It needs more time.
Decent OS. High potential. **** poor status right now.
