It has been proven time and time again that the real issue with vista is the lack of knowledge or what it can do for you, and how it can do things. the files structuring systems and even the basic architecture are flawless.....yes i said it "flawless"! the only issue that vista has had that i have run into with good measure is it uncanny ability to work out issue for consumers and average computer goers and leave them so dumbfounded that it works that it makes them mad it works so well. so all who "hate" vista lets be honest....its not the os its probably the user. i think they have a technical term for it aswell.

Oh yeah, and 10 out 10 people I know to use Vista, all of them are desperately looking for a downgrade. And they are not technophobes, geeks or idiots, just NORMAL PEOPLE who like their OS to be helpful, not a complete nuisance.

That purveyor to truth, Apple even tells me people are downgrading. Wow, I guess there is no such thing as a corporate standard which might account for that. Downgrades are a normal part of every new OS cycle and every manufacturer produces a set of products with downgrade kit capabilities. For those of you who had your heads out of your butt in 2002, this happened a lot with XP. Of the 21 Vista home users I know personally zero have downgraded. I have personally rolled out Vista and Office 2007 in 4 corporate environments and have precisely ONE user who does not like it (and he admits his dislike is based on the fact he is a techno-hermit who hates change of any sort). I even rolled it out to in a primarily Mac shop (btw, I am also an authorized Mac dealer) and they LOVED it. The new deployment/imaging tools combined with Vista's excellent searching and file navigation facilities make it an ideal upgrade from other O.S. MS sold 90+ MILLION copies of Vista in the first year. That is DOUBLE the number of XP copies sold in the first year. MS profits were UP a massive 78% in the last quarter of 2007. Ya... I guess all you crApple people must be right, Vista is a huge failure. I will readily concede I that in all deployments I have made several notable changes: 1: Disable UAC 2: Disable NIC Autotuning 3: Change the logon screen graphic 4: Enable Verbose Mode for Startup/Shut Down and several other minor items. However, all of these changes can be readily accomplished. 100% of the anti-Vista people I know fall into one of three groups: 1: massively ignorant technophobes (Apple advert. watchers) 2: Apple / Linux zealots 3: VERY low grade IT tech's who have an inability to learn and are afraid of the future. Vista (like ALL products) has its issues but it is vastly superior to XP and certainly to OS X. I wish Apple and Linux well and I think they have a deserved market share. I am not pro-MS and anti-bull-sh*t. Well I guess you anti-MS zealots just must be right about Vista's failure. That purveyor to truth, Apple even tells me people are downgrading.

Apple is targeted mostly at consumers leaving the company only as big as buyers pockets. Microsoft built its monolopy on big business dollars. Linux is reliant on the computer geeks, a passive attempt. Every time a company introduces a product or software to challenge the giant they get copied some how.
