Vista Countdown....What's Wrong With It????

[drhayden1]

Windows Vista lands in one week, everybody. Personally, I can't wait--not because I'm going to go straight to the store and buy a copy, but because I can stop writing stories about everybody and their mom's predictions about the impact Vista will have, and start writing stories about the impact it actually has. Eventually.

Actually, those articles are already starting to trickle in, like this one: The 5 Sins of Vista, from IntelliAdmin.com. In it, Steve Wiseman outlines five things in Vista that are, well, kinda broken. Here's the executive summary:

The new file browsing interface is broken - Ew!

The new start menu sucks (Kind of) - Kinda ew.

Windows Networking is a mess - Clear as mud.

Windows Search Is Broken - Double ew!

Windows copying has not improved - Sigh.

I think we're sure to see some really great stuff in Windows, but when stuff as fundamental is search and file copying still haven't gotten any attention from Microsoft, I start to wonder just what they are working on over in Redmond.

In related news, Microsoft has disclosed that one out of every five Windows installations in use today is "non-genuine," i.e. possibly pirated, says BetaNews.

Dan,
I checked the vista post which was yours and didn't see it there.
You'll also notice, I've cut out all the advertising.
