Re: Vista? A flop??

My attitude may seem like I am a vista basher to you, but in reality you are
mistaken.
In any case, Im BAD, Im BAD, and if you dont like it you can slap my face!

My personal comments were not like these when XP was released. XP was a
great improvement on clarity of use.
I did not beta test XP when it was called whistler.. so I cannot know what I
could have said.

I am talking about me here, don't confuse me with the mainstream, because I
can assure you that I am far from that.
I did post on the beta newsgroups but not about specific bugs. I dont care
about small bugs, but about the over all ease of use or "User Experience".

I always learn new things and I can adjust in a blink of an eye.
It is NOT me I am worried about, but everyone else! I teach and support many
people, and I know how it is. I am viewing things
from their standpoint. Not mine.
Even if perfection is unachievable you never think that it is not, or else
you do not strive for it.
In the future.... we will have computers that can think and interact with
humans, do tasks by thought alone...
Dont be confined to what you see around you now. I see this only as a
stepping stone.

I would say that you are negative, because you don't like people criticizing
your favorite product.
Well you have to be open-minded enough to hear what other people have to
say...

I like windows, I love windows.... because one of its strong points was that
it was easy to use.
Take that away.. and you end up with linux-like confusion!
