Vista Drove Me Away - a Testimonial
I used to be a Microsoft Fan - a really, really big and obnoxious one too. Whenever someone even brought up the topic of a Mac I would go on about how PC’s were “clearly superior” and “control the market for obvious reasons.” In fact, my friends who use Macs as well remind me that I used to lecture them for ten minutes straight about the supposed advantages of the Windows Platform. Using cliché arguments like “Windows’ Wealth of Software” to defend my views, I convinced myself not to get a Mac last December and so I bought a brand-new Acer PC.

Yep, here too, got an Acer desktop with 2GB ram and E4300 Core 2.
Sluggish, RAM hog and boots up about the same time as a SP2 XP. I’ve since reformatted and put my old XP on it, from which I am writing. Fast and stable.
Also got an iMac 17″ desktop and still not sold this will replace Windows. Updates are just as bad and huge, sometimes 93MB patches.

..neighbour just bought a new Dell 3GB computer with Vista Home Pr.
The very first day it had the stupidest error message I’ve seen, paraphrased:
Windows Explorer has an unexplained error do you wish to shut down Windows?
Then double click on a normal jpg file. Windows viewer comes on, but try to print with it. Wants to print to some Windows X writer, and doesn’t recognize the install HP printer. So try to add it (again) says COPY 1, ok, but then gets a system error.
Installed Irfan and it works like a charm.
Oh, took 3 minutes to shut down.
