A new perspective on Windows Vista
So far, Windows latest release is not thrilling me. It seems like there are more traps set for the unsuspecting user and more hoops to jump through security-wise. Even with my certification, I had some difficulty getting the user back to desktop.
For users that do not know any better, they may not even realize what they missed. For those of you going from Windows 98 perhaps, up to Vista, well, you have my sympathies!
Just as in XP, Windows Vista does not work with much of the hardware out there. Because I have a knowledge base to work with, I “tricked” it into accepting an HP printer and DSL hookup, only after calling the DSL helpdesk and getting in the “back door.” Good grief!
It appears that Windows mimicked Apple’s screen a bit. Complete with the circle and the overall appearance. Sorry folks, hour glass is gone.
Now, the burning question: Should you upgrade from Windows XP or ME? As I told you when it first started, take the test located on the Microsoft Website. However, be advised I plan to stay with XP. I don’t need my own computer headaches to deal with on top of everyone else’s.
As time has proved, let Microsoft work out its bugs with this new system and then slowly you can think about upgrading or getting a new machine entirely.
The latter of the options is the best choice, one with the fewest traps to avoid.
What has your experience been? What would you recommend? Do you have questions about this? Would love to hear from you!
