Vista
One, Two, Three, Four. I declare a Vista War!
Windows Vista doesn't suck!
Yes I said it, I've used it, and it works fine. The problem I've noticed that everyone has with Vista is with Laptops. Now, I want to ask you a question, if your on a mac, how do you connect to a wireless network?
Now, if your on a vista laptop, how do you?
I'm going to guess that the Vista user will have a much longer explanation, and here's why. There's too much software shipped on laptops to do the function of software already in the system. With a recently purchased laptop for use with cross country saskatchewan, I couldn't get it to connect to our home network, after returning it to future shop and having them reset the thing, it still didn't work. And I think I know why, Toshiba ships it's own utility for joining wireless networks. Ok, thanks toshiba, but as a long time windows user why can't I just use the control panel and the little network logo next to the clock? Because of this duplication of software to do the same thing, it wouldn't work. It seems that PC manufactures are the ones wrecking Vista. They are each trying to make it better, why not just build a better computer, buy buying a computer with Vista, I'd expect that I'd use Vista to do what I want, not some crappy Toshiba utility that causes the system to not work!
The point I'm making is, no matter what computer I sit down at, I want it to be consistent. I don't care what the computer looks like on the outside, but I want to know how everything works because I've already used windows Vista on a different computer. It's the inconsistency that is driving people crazy, and the consistency of OS X that has driven most of the people I know to recently buy Mac notebooks instead of windows.
I have not much to do out here at night in Meadow, and too much time to think.

I can't connect my camera to Vista, because it won't download the driver. It won't download the driver because my camera is a little old and Vista doesn't like it.
Hence Vista sucks.
