Microsoft gets a lot of flack for Windows. A lot of it is because they are seen as this big monolith bullying everybody else, but more importantly, despite Windows market share, it is not an overly fantastic operating system.

Windows XP is still my favourite version of Windows, despite the fact that I have been using Vista for a while now.

Vista is probably one of the worst operationg systems, in my view, to have come out of Microsoft, and has a host of irritations for me, from the UAC to the fact that it struggles to copy very large files easily. XP is a much more stable and reliable operating system than Vista, despite it being 7 years older.

Well, in 2 days time, windows 7 is being released, and I am certainly hoping that it will fix a lot of the issues that Vista had. Microsoft cannot afford to have another failed operating system on their hands.

From what I have seen, Windows 7 will be leaner, faster, less resource hungry, but also trimmed down a bit in terms of features, excluding things like a movie player and mail program. Considering the fact that I used third party apps for those type of applications anyway, they will not be missed.

The world eagerly awaits the eradication of Vista……
