I think we need a thread entitled "Vista sucks". Someone should put that in the general section of the forum. Just a place for all the win vista bashing.
You asked for it, you got it :)
Whether you like it or not, Vista's here. Your average user is going to Vista with almost every new computer purchase. And with Longhorn coming out, some companies may follow. The average user would rather the flashy GUI over the old CLI. Mayo comes in a jar, but why not use the cute little squeeze bottle.
Linux has come a long way, and I've already feel in love with Ubuntu. I d/l Fedora, but I haven't tried it yet. I turned one of my old boxes into a Ubuntu server. I haven't set up Active Directory yet, so I'm not sure how this one will work with it. But it is a very simple setup for LAMP.
I plan on quitting my job in about 6 mths. By then I should have A+, Net+, and the new MCITP, from 70-622, and MCTS, from 70-620, and working on my MSCA. I need the Vista experience in order to find a job.
Now the bashing begins.
Vista is okay. It's no where near as secure as Linux. 99.9% of malware is designed for the behemoth MS. And if media is your pleasure, MS may end up being essential. http://www.2frag4fun.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=158
The annoying pop-up for running programs, its an attempt, I think, to keep you out of the kernel, just like the sudo command in Linux. And the nVidia 7300 I put in is keeping my Vista score at 3.0 while mem and cpu is at 5.0. Vista is a HOG.
Ubuntu seems to be pretty good so far. I want to use a dual-boot on my main with Ubuntu/Vista. Or maybe just run XP as a virtual inside Ubuntu. And Linux seems to be making headway as a media center.

Enough of my rant, LET THE BASHING BEGIN!!!!!:fight:
***note: if this needs to be moved to hardware, I apologize.***
