"Do you know how long they have been working on Vista? Do you know how much money they have spent to make Vista?"
-this is called a "sunk cost"... It doesnt matter how much money they spent on it, if its not selling, the amount of money they spent will not influence their decision for the future at all. Guaranteed.
For the record: I did NOT mean to BASH vista. If thats what you got out of it than im terribly sorry...I install vista x64 in all my current builds, it performs fine, but there is always a feeling that it is not as good as i would hoped it would be, especially after all the hype - that is an "OPINION" not a "BASH". Product performance is based on how the product performs VS the expectations held for that product. In which case, i think even MS would say that they had hoped for a better reception. Its NOT a personal attack against you. If i am wrong, then post some reasoning as to why - hell, im still learning.
You can be hostile, and you can cuddle with your copy of vista tonight, and give it a little kiss for me, and apologize for me for making it and you so upset... and maybe microsoft listens to all the bitching people and issues service packs with fixes based on all the bitching. In which case you need to be thankful to all the bitchy "target consumer" people who express the need for change. Yeah its gotten better, and yes i use it... but I still want more speed, and i complain that its too slow. If that upsets you, then you're too sensitive and thats a portrait of you in my avatar.
Thats all cool, I'm sure everyone is taking all this in good spirit.
Possibly you might have elaborated a little more on this....quote " Its the actual design of the software (DRM, random hard drive thrashing, much slower hard drive access, larger hard drive latency, slower network performance, huge amounts of background software that runs even though no one ever uses them)..."
I'm slow to understand and the more detail the better.
