With the coming of Windows 7 many people have put Vista behind them now (I haven't got 7 yet). Some people didn't even bother with Vista, having heard the bad press that surounded it, and simply stuck with Windows XP (also a great Windows) - for most people Vista has become synonomus with glitches, slowdowns, and all that is wrong with Windows - some even listed along side the abomination that was Windows Me, which is both unfair and an exageration.
I own Vista, and it has got to be the BEST Windows System I have used so far (with Windows XP following close behind) it looks brilliant, has a nice future-ish look to it, is incredibly fast (most of what takes ages on other systems - including XP now goes like *snaps fingers* "that!") it has an incredibly alert virus control (more on that in a bit) and is so far the safest computer I have. It also just... looks cool.
I can understand people thinking otherwise, because they (or friends of their's) previously perchased Vista when it first came out and experienced the opposite of what I just described; bad cases of slowdown, high risk of viruses, and many other things that every self respecting PC User hates. However what people don't seam to realize even today is that there are actually TWO Windows Vistas.
Ok, not exactly, but the Vista that everyone hates is the made before it got upgraded and became a decent system, the only negative point to Vista comes in the form of its otherwise brilliant "Cancel or Allow" option - it thankfully doesn't happen enough times to be anoying, but my computer at least will freeze if you don't choose fast enough - thankfully this usually happens at start up, so I am very rarley caught off guard and at the end of the day I am far more greatful at the fact that I have an active protection on Vista - and at least it asks you what is good and what is bad - unlike Windows Me, which would simply try to guess, and more often than not; get it wrong.
I realize Vista has now been replaced by 7, which may be miles better even in the eyes of (one of?) Vista's (few?) only fan(s?), but I just wanted to get this off my chest, and see how you all felt about Vista.
