There isnt anything more wrong with Vista 2.5 years past its release than
there was with XP after the same period of time. XP didnt come into favor
until SP2.

I heard the same bitching and often from the same people after XP came out
because it broke this DOS app, or this win9x app. These bellyachers refused
to educate themselves the difference between a OS based on the DOS kernel
and one based on the NT technology. They didnt understand that programs
were no longer allowed to directly control the hardware and that said
control had to now be made via the OS.

Vista UAC, user access control, is actually a good idea, if one looks back
at XP's 6 years of unfettered glory in which users themselves did
incredibly stupid things to get their systems hosed by malware or poorly
written applications or worse yet, poorly chosen decisions in changing
system configuration. Of course Dan, you do realize that UAC can be turned
off?

Dont mock UAC, some people actually need it, they are that stupid.

What flabbergasts me is that Vista had one of the longest development
stages and the third party software and hardware folk where still lax as
hell in getting patches and updates out there that would allow their
products to run with Vista, as if Microsoft should be held responsible for
the coding lapses of others.
