Vista: Gold or Garbage?
Good Morning!
Whether you like it or hate it, the latest OS offering from Microsoft is stirring up debate and emotions all over the web. Some call it bloatware, others feel it’s security and DRM(digital rights management)features go too far, and still more are up in arms about the replacement of Outlook Express with Windows Mail. There’s even an anti-Vista website!
On the flip side, there are those that say Vista is the most stable Microsoft OS to date and applaud its security features and visual beauty. But the new OS is certainly not without its growing pains however, and as a result many people are chosing to stick to or replace Vista with XP.
How do you feel about Vista? Is it gold or garbage? Let me know what you think!
Windows Vista, Windows XP, Microsoft, digital rights management

I worked on someone’s new Vista laptop at work a couple of months ago. Even though it was much higher spec than my work laptop, it ran much slower. I know some of that could be due to the pre-loaded software, but at no point did it feel like a new computer.
When I bought myself a new laptop about a month ago, I managed to get one still with XP Pro and out of the box it seemed so much faster.
I won’t be upgrading.
