I am simply stating things that I feel should be different. For example, extra stuff that ends up running in the background can often be prevented, but why should we have to find out that it's there anyway? If we didn't start it, we may very well not even know it's back there running. So I love Windows, and wouldn't switch OSs for anything, I am just trying to voice my opinion, because even the best can be better!

Why does everyone insist on using the extra power for fancy graphics instead of making it do the things it already needs to do faster? I think that multimedia is a nice thing to have available, but I also think that it should be optional and turned off by default. For example, look at the visual changes from Windows XP to Windows Vista. Why the need for all the fancy icons (and whatever some of the other glorified graphics are, I'm still using XP Pro)? And if you think about all the tons of unnecessary stuff that runs in the background that we often don't know about, we could definitely speed our machines up if we could get rid of that (some of it you can get rid of by editing the registry, which I have done, but many people don't know how to do that, but that still isn't everything). If only we could say "Only run the stuff we need" I have been thinking the same thing for a long time as well.

It is just Vista revisted so to speak so why didn't Mikeysoft had Vista put on hold when it was not worth to publish it... Then, they had the opportunity to clean up the hardware mesh and unnecessary code to make it even better than this WeeSeven in every aspect. There was no need to push this baby (Vista) over the edge and let it drown. But no the money tap must keep on flowing, so in the end we are all stuck... The business world is waiting and waiting when this have all crystalized out and this process can go on for years.

People did not like Vista as much as expected, and keep in mind that Windows 7 will not be based on any code used for any previous versions of Windows. Windows 7 is NOT another release of Vista, and one of the planned improvements is to use less system resources such as RAM. I will admit that I am a big fan of XP (and still use it), and I think it would have been nice (and probably more profitable) if Microsoft had simply skipped Vista and gone straight to Windows 7 (although I guess if that had happened it would be called Windows 6!). This is what I plan on doing (staying with XP until Windows 7 is available, not even bothering with Vista), since pretty much all software made for Vista can also run on XP or has a version for XP. And the reason they are not putting out much info or previews for Windows 7 is because after the recent Vista incident, people would probably either ignore them or just say "They're just try to put out another piece of garbage, it won't be any better", so they want to let that pass over before trying to get Windows 7 noticed so that nobody starts an false rumors.

I think that the reason so many people hate Microsoft is because They don't know how to do things like: 1. Disable the unnecessary applications that slow their machine down 2. Change the settings to what they want (and often can have!) 3. They just want somebody to blame their problems on and a way to express their frustration People claim that we are forced to use Microsoft products. Well, that may be partially true now (although there are other operating systems and things like OpenOffice), but think about it. Back when home computing first started coming into use there must have been some reason Microsoft became the most commonly used one rather than Mac or Linux or maybe some company most people don't even know the name of. So I think people just do a lot of Microsoft bashing because they need a way to express their anger and frustration.

There's nothing wrong with Vista. It takes more RAM and processing, but MS stated that from the beginning of design. If you have 2 gigs of RAM and a decent processor, you're fine. Don't like something? Disable it. I hate Gadgets. Disabled. No problem. The worst things MS has done recently is the Ribbons on Office and failing to make WMP streamlined enough to compete. Maybe Silverlight's failure to take off. But Windows remains the most easy to code for and deploy to OS, even in open source. The vast majority of applications are made for Windows, and even projects like Firefox prove that a group of competent coders can get good performance and stability out of Windows. The problem is that everyone has 500 programs and drivers from shoddy 3rd parties all running at once. Meh, Vista crybabies. There’s nothing wrong with Vista.

The more power we have the more we get the PC to do with flashy graphics, sounds etc and the result is that good old Word runs just the same as always. Now with all the AntiVirus software we need running the machines actaully seem to run slower than years ago.

The more power we have the more we get the PC to do with flashy graphics, sounds etc and the result is that good old Word runs just the same as always. Now with all the AntiVirus software we need running the machines actaully seem to run slower than years ago.

But I doubt it, with a week or 2's online studying to learn a new interface unix systems feels more comfortable and faster for me with almost 100 times less crashes than i expireinced with XP and not to speak about Vista.  But... I will try to stay openminded about microsoft products.  And wil try it out each time something new come out.

Have you any idea how old and pointless Microsoft bashing is? And Vista? I use Vista every day. I love it - It has never crashed, hiccuped, killed my family, stolen all my computer's hardware etc. Guess how much money I spent upgrading my computer to handle it? None. Go figure.

Almost forgot the best line of your post - what is the point of this site? The point is to share news with people who are curious about the next iteration of Windows. Kinda obvious, don't you think? @ SEO Tips: Um... yeah ....that's what the article says... @ Smiler:
