Living Well……….


Finally, I can put a stake through the heart of Vista (soon anyway)

I have to admit, I’ve hated Windows Vista since the first day, 2 years ago, that I pushed the on button firing up my Dell Inspiron 1525. Two years I’ve suffered the “every 4 seconds you need to approve something!” syndrome along with the other indignities of Vista’s superiority complex (I know this is what Vista is saying to me, I KNOW IT ……”hey, Mr. User, I’m Vista, I don’t care what you want to do I’m regulating and modulating you so go get a cup of coffee and always say please when you want to switch screens”

Don’t even get me started on IE 8, what a pain.  So Firefox I stick with.

But, becase of my work environment in my small business I will soon be giving Microsoft some more of my money. I will buy a new laptop with Windows 7 on it soon after it’s available on new machines. Most  reviews indicate it’s better than Vista  but it doesn’t sound like a game changer.

For me it’s the shear joy of getting rid of Vista, I’ve even learned to hate the name…..Vista,,ugh.

I sure hope 7 is better, if not I’m going to Mac and I’ll work around my system issues.
