Apparently my product code is not valid for vista, so if i need to contact
vista support if is going to cost me £46, even though I have a valid copy of
vista home premium.

I have been benchmarking vista against fedora 7 on hardware (aparently
designed for vista) Intel E6600 with 2Gb DDR2 RAM. Fedora 7 completed its
benchmarks on an average of 43.67% faster than windows vista. That is quite a
margin! Also for anyone that is interested, Windows XP completed the same
benchmarks 39.24% faster than vista.

What am I supposed to conclude from this other than vista is a complete
waste of money. On a software side, there isn’t actually anything in vista
that can’t be done in windows XP or Fedora 7 as far as I can see. Well
actually vista has some better tools for looking after your hard drive built
in, than XP. but that appears to be it!

Anyway. I would quite like my money back, I already have XP, and most Linux
Flavours are free. If I wanted to pay money I would have bought a MAC…

Yeah after Microsoft told me that I apparently have to pay £46 to even try to ask a question about my new Vista set up, I decided it was time to see what all the vista fuss was about. Sadly I realised Microsoft have released what I can only call “A waste of money”

Maybe they will try to rescue vista just like they rescued XP after a couple of years of people complaining about it. But really Bill you have outdone yourself this time. If I wanted to pay money for shit, I would have asked Stig.
