Microsoft: 'Five Misunderstood Features in Windows Vista'

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Wed 21st May 2008 00:21 UTC

Vista has not exactly been a massive market success. Sales numbers might be satisfactory due to OEM agreements, but press and public reception have been terrible, and there are several recurring themes in the complaints from people. Microsoft took five of these recurring themes, and addressed them in a document called 'Five Misunderstood Features in Windows Vista'.

We haven't misunderstood anything.

Vista is fat, slow and annoying. It may be a duck on the water with lots of activity happening under the bonnet. But who cares?

It actually has really good features. They're just poorly written.

completely agree with you there.

Vista does everything you want it to 50% of the time and the other 50% is your system catching up on background processes that you have no control over.

It's not slow or annoying for me. Fat, probably. But with RAM and hard drive space cheaper than ever, that's not a major concern for me.

I've grown to find the overall Vista experience better than XP. It's just easier to get stuff done. YMMV.
