I have been a MicroShit XP user since it’s release. Not one that will venture into another MS waste of time before their product has been tested and exposed… Meanwhile, friends and lovers all switched first to Vista and recently to 7. I get on their computers and I wonder how in the world those ass holes are ever so successful in managing to make their piece of shit Windows user interface more and more stupid with every release.

All I can tell you is this – from shitty minds comes shitty products. Aside from the shit user interfaces both miserable releases are resource hogs and offer nothing and I mean nothing that has not been in existence for the past ten years (or at least your could not get from other vendors).

Those clowns managed to monopolize the market, drive everybody else out of business for the sole purpose of stifling the industry into a poor performance shit product full of superfluous code (to make it virtually impossible to reverse engineer) thereby guaranteeing their existence forever.

Soon to switch to a MAC…

Yours Truly.

seriously, neither vista nor 7 are step in right direction, XP was fine because it was light and yet very stable and usable for both work and entertainment, vista and 7 being built on top of .NET bloatware code made them stupid – literarly stupid and bloated, they can be 2x secure than XP but that does not excuse them from being resource hog and totaly stupid to use

i personaly hate in both vista and 7 that they REQUIRE dual core processors and atleast 2 GB of RAM so user can normaly use those piece of crap OS-es with their full “features”

i tried to run 7 on single core 2.8 Ghz intel with 1 GB of RAM and all i got was choking whenever i (JUST !) watched a movie
seeing DWM eats 10-20% CPU, movie player ~60% and rest of 42 proccesses the rest, so it was overall at 100% for single movie watching… just terrible

I do like Ubuntu… and I would use it more if it weren’t for PC games. I’m a [very] amature gamer, and playing the latest and greatest isn’t really an option yet.
I do have an Ubuntu bootable USB drive in my bag though if I want a secure environment to do something in. Especially with their recent 9.10 release, I can boot Ubuntu faster off the USB drive then I can boot 7 off the hard drive, haha!

With Ubuntu gaining popularity and Apple gaining market share, MS can ill afford to release yet another mediocre operating system.

‘It’s not their job to make sure their computer is secure’

- Yes it is, but MS have no idea how to achieve this with a fundamentally insecure OS, hence these stupid features.

Never has there been a better time to switch operating systems – Linux is no longer only suitable for geeks, my Nan now uses it quite happily.

Some time ago i was given a new operating system from microsoft to install. It was in a fancy box and i was very enthusiastic as the last operating system was so good, windows xp. I had heard it had native dvd burning, and installed faster. First it complained that my partitions were too small, but soon after, i was quickly on the way to installing a shiny new operating system. It seemed to install very quickly. Then i clicked the start button … as first i thought it was a joke, then i thought i had got a virus, then i realised, microsoft had completely given up. What i installed was the most tragic sorry piece of shite i’d ever come across. What was this total catastrophe ? Well, needless to say, i never adopted it and only used it for compatibilty testing our software releases. Several years later, a more sober microsoft made a successor available to much fanfair. Obviously they would have done a lot to fix what was wrong with that debacle called vista. I cautiously installed the new operating system, known as windows 7. New desktop background. Share limit up to 20 from 10, nice. That was it. Everything else was the same old shite. Sluggish, multitudes of button clicking to find the unfindable. What was the point ? Why didnt they just stay in bed and not waste people’s time ? Total catastrophe #2. Whoever set the XP service lifespan to 2018 has known for a long time what we just discovered, and given a three year release schedule, windows 8,9 and 10 will be equally tragic …

For the most part I agree. One shouldn’t be scared of change, but MS should also consider that these “added features” might be annoying to power users… and since writting this article I found that some of these annoyances can be disabled.
This was a review of an early RC version.

Yes, it has it’s little quarks and annoyances, but there is no reason to avoid it. It is a great, fantastic, VERY stable OS. Anyone who claims otherwise probably doesn’t understand computers and is scared of change.

Ah, thanks Peter. I’m glad there is at least a way to disable the obnoxious “features”
