The old Windows Vista love/hate thing

A friend over on his blog recently posted about his love, err, hate of windows Vista.

Now me, I quite like it actually, it looks funky, runs perfectly fine on my lappy and hasn’t crashed once since I installed it. It’s a welcome addition and upgrade to XP which has been the next best OS that MS have produced since Windows 3.11 and 95.

Now I know that you can get other OS’ (free ones as well) to provide the same features as Vista but that involves either, messing around - which I really can’t be bothered to do or Linux (still messing around IMHO) however it is not my type of OS for desktop use yet. I use it on a day to day basis at work as a server OS and it’s brilliant, but spend time trying to get some software working because it may have compatibilty issues is not my idea of computing.

For what I use it for - it rocks, I wouldn’t install anything else and it just works for me.
