Fun with Vista

Filed under: Mac News — duane @ 11:28 pm

About a year ago, I thought my company would have to start doing integration work with Vista, so I installed it on my MacBook Pro to familiarize myself with it. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with it due to the fact it bugged me way to often to authorize something trivial, like copying a file and other things. I must admit it was prettier than XP, but the benefits certainly did not outweigh the negatives. I eventually (after about three weeks of fighting Vista) reinstalled XP on my laptop for my Windows only work.

Now one year later and Service Pack 1 has been released. In the meantime we have had exactly one customer ask for Vista. After installing Vista again along with Service Pack 1, it seems a bit nicer, but I will have to wait again and see.

It seems incomprehensible that Microsoft could have screwed this release up so badly. I hope Server 2008 works out better for them.
