Security Or Flexibility?

[dilettante]

are you really saying that Vista has been a great success ?

Yep. Works great for me, works great for my customers.

Not by me it wasn't, why should it ? and most companies i think would disagree with that too, which is why the Enterprise take up of Vista has been so poor.

Enterprise takeup of everything is slow. There are machine replacement costs for one thing. For another there are the legions of box jockeys out smoking on the loading dock who don't want to have to actually learn anything, and they spread a lot of FUD... well, just like we see here.

And if this is the Case why has Microsoft made Windows 7 less Resource Intensive than Vista ?

Win7 offers some real improvements. It's called progress. And Win7 is to Vista as XP SP2 is to XP Gold. XP SP2 was actually a new OS, and almost one we had to pay for separately.

I wasn't talking about programs being Vista ready but Drivers. There where all sorts of problems with Drivers when it first came out.

Last time I looked this was a programming forum site. Not sure where you should go to whine about driver issues, but I don't think it's here. And the driver problems weren't Microsoft's fault anyway, it was the slacking hardware manufacturers who screwed up.

I know because i had god knows how many Phone calls from (my less IT literate) friends asking me how to fix them. Sometimes not even on old machines. One of my friends bought a brand new Dell Laptop with Vista Installed and half the Drivers didn't even work on that.

How is this not Dell, etc.'s problem?

Look i know that now Service packed up and more mature that Vista basically works, but i i still wont buy it.

Who cares?

As a product it has lost confidence with the Market which is why the are bringing Windows 7 out so soon afterwards.

Ahh, like how XP came out a little more than a year after Win2K hmm?

I haven't tested Windows 7 myself in Beta but from all i hear it is Generally the release Vista should have been, and i am greatly looking forward to coming out.

Do what you have to, but don't be naive. Win7 is a reworked Vista, and is even more different from XP than Vista was.

I will be happy to buy it (as long as it live up to the hype) and finally shut up the Mac brigade who keep telling me i should by a Mac.

It's up to you what you choose to do. Why should we care?

If you're worried about what a Mac user says you have bigger problems. They've made a conscious decision to FAIL.
