For me, the problem is that Vista is *slow* and keeps getting slower.  I can logoff and re-login four times on my Mac, in the same time as it takes for me to do the same thing once on Vista.

That's why I (and I believe others) remain unimpressed.<br/>left by: Alex Hoffman]]></description></item><item><title>Can&apos;t we all just get along?

However, I'd point out that part of the problem with Vista is the security system is poorly done. installing Parallels Tools shouldn't require 5 or 6 dialogs asking me if I allow installation of unsigned drivers. It should require one for the whole installer. Asking me over and over again if I will allow an application to run was dumb. It should only ask once.

I will say this about Aero. Apple was running CoreGraphics and Aqua on 500 MHz PowerPC Macs. I don't know why the requirements are so high, but they didn't do a good job on that front. 

I think MS botched the whole design of Vista. Vista should have been a complete rewrite done correctly that fixed all their legacy problems and ran XP apps in a compatibility container app as Apple didn't with Classic.app running MacOS 9. MS took the Approach apple tried with Copland and it bombed for them too.<br/>left by: James Gregurich]]></description></item><item><title>It&apos;s alive!!!

Part of it is earned, part if is caused by manufacturer and software developer slow adoption rate, and part of it is caused by negative ad campaigns.

I see that resets the repository to its initial state as when Visita was originally installed.  But what does that mean?  Does it, in effect, uninstall everything (or at least remove everything's uninstall information)?
