I don’t usually post this stuff, since i’ll probably never come back to it, but eric just pointed out that one of C|Net’s Top Ten terrible tech products is Microsoft’s Vista.

First off, i’m not an Apple fanboy. I use Windows XP (although I have a mac as a video workstation). My personal experience with Vista started when I bought a laptop a few months ago which CAME PRE INSTALLED WITH VISTA. Vista was (1) slow with just about everything, (2) took forever to reboot or shutdown - longer than my crap-filled XP box, and (3) annoyed me with the constant security alerts. And it’s not because of the laptop either - this baby was $2300+ top of the line laptop. And since i’m not the only one reporting these issues, i’m pretty sure i can’t blame the laptop.

Since Vista is the future, i’m most likely switching to a Mac as my primary machine whenever my XP workstation dies. Sometime in 2008 most likely.
