The rest is equally angry. You can just about imagine how close the person is
to throwing the PC outside the Windows. What a disaster Vista has been...

How Much Does Vista Suck? Let Me Count the Ways

| As a technology journalist, I need to test software on different operating

Will Windows Vista Succeed In 2008? Don't Count On It

| Vista has certainly been slow out of the gate. Sure, Microsoft is putting the

Acer: PC industry 'disappointed' with Vista

,----[ Quote
| Acer president Gianfranco Lanci became the first major PC manufacturer to 
| openly attack Microsoft over the Windows Vista operating system in the 
| Financial Times Deutschland on Monday.  
|
| Lanci said the operating system was riddled with problems and gave users and 
| businesses no reason to buy a new PC, according to the report. Taiwan-based 
| Acer is the world's fourth-largest PC manufacturer, after HP, Dell and 
| Lenovo. 
|
| "The whole industry is disappointed with Windows Vista," Lanci said.

Interesting comment from CompUSA

,----[ Quote ]
| Every single one of them he said was returned from consumers... and that they 
| (CompUSA) couldn't ship them back. As he heard, Microsoft wasn't giving 
| credit back for unsold or returned copies... and didn't want the returned 
| figures made public... He wouldn't say that every single one of them 
| exchanged for a copy of Xp, he didn't know if that was true. So, I asked how 
| many boxes did they have. Same glare, followed with a "You do not want to 
| know" type statement.
