Houston, we have gotten rid of Vista!

| OK. So I installed Vista on my sweet LG S1 laptop (OK, it's not mine... but I
| like to think it is).
| This list of problems forced me to go back to XP!

It's back to XP (or Linux) for most people. SP3 will be _EVEN BETTER_ than
Vista.
Service Pack 3 for XP in 2008

| With Vista still in the baby carriage and expecting SP1, it's unknown what
| will be added to its older brother in SP3. So for those of us sticking around
| with XP hoping for another service pack, here's our proof that the idea
| hasn't been ditched yet, and that Microsoft actually plans to release it.

Wonderful cartoon:

Vista is everywhere!
Remember the controversial (possibly racist) ad from Intel. Look how it's bent
to make fun of Vista:

Didn't Dr. Gutmann use the "athletes hobbling on crutches" analogy to describe
Vista's DRM?
Yesterday, Dilbert pulled a pro-Open Source cartoon.

My Downgrade To XP
,----[ Quote ]
| I say this because I’m about to slag on Windows Vista, and I want it
| understood that I am not a reflexive MS-basher.

| I’m done with Vista for the foreseeable future. With a rock-solid XP SP2
| install, an attractive theme, and the wallpaper switcher, I have all my needs
| met - my computing environment is stable and predictable, the system is
| responsive, the visual appearance is attractive, and the overall user
| experience is pleasurable.
|
| I suspect many other people have had a similar experience with Vista.

An Open Letter to Microsoft: Re-Release Windows XP
,----[ Quote ]
| It's time to sober up on Windows Vista. This just isn't working out,
| and your users are getting frustrated to the point where they're souring
| on Windows altogether. In case you haven't seen some of the more
| noteworthy blog posts on this topic, I refer you to Chris Pirillo,
| Scot's Newsletter, or Spend Matters. Or check out the recent bug
| reports regarding product activation and security flaws. This is all
| stuff I managed to dredge up that was written yesterday.
|
| People are unhappy with Vista. Really unhappy. And though I know Microsoft
| has its own form of Steve Jobs' reality distortion field, it certainly
| can't keep you from seeing at least some of the sobering sales figures and
| the crush of disappointing reviews of Vista. I don't want to dredge up all
| the reasons people are unhappy with Vista in this letter. I want to talk
| about what you ought to do stop a mass migration to Linux and the Mac.
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
