WHEN WINDOWS VISTA RAPED ME!
When I was a toddler (kid), I never liked COMPUTERS. To me it was a second IDIOT BOX after TELEVISION On the other hand I always found INTERNET almost weird. I was very reluctant in accepting COMPUTERS n INTERNET in my life. How ever "The D day" of my life came and I bought my first computer in the year 2004 and came along with it WINDOWS XP. Undoubtedly WINDOWS XP indeed is very very USER-FRIENDLY. Being scrupulous (honest), I do owe lot many things to WINDOWS XP and hence MICROSOFT and hence BILL GATES. Forthrightly(honestly) speaking I never like treating BILL GATES AND MICROSOFT LIKE A DIRT. After all They gave me vision to see and venerate (respect) the technology.I started off my journey of discovering COMPUTERS FROM Windows XP. I never worked neither on WINDOWS 98 nor on WINDOWS 2000. I came to know about WINDOWS VISTA almost 2 years back. At that time name of WINDOWS VISTA was WINDOWS LONGHORN. I got thrilled. I even postponed my second PC by one year just to make my hardware compatible with WINDOWS VISTA.
I had very very high expectations from WINDOWS VISTA. But all my dreams dashed to ground and when I used VISTA FOR THE FIRST TIME almost one month back.
I AM USING WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE -64 BIT WORTH 16700/-
Here are the reasons why you should not use WINDOWS VISTA : ( THE PROBLEMS WHICH I FACED MAY BE EITHER DUE TO VISTA or due to the fact that I am using a 64 bit OS)
1. BULKY & POOR GRAPHICS. ( FOR A PERSON LIKE ME WHO HAS SEEN MANDRIVA AND MAC OS X, VISTA IS NOW WHERE IN COMPARISON)
2. VERY SLOW.
3. FIREFOX (WORLDS BEST BROWSER) FAILED TO INSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER MAKING INTERNET SURFING A NIGHTMARE.
4. VLC PLAYER RESPONDED POORLY (WORLD'S BEST MEDIA PLAYER)
5. VIRTUAL DRIVE SOFTWARES LIKE DAEMON TOOLS, MAGIC ISO, POWER ISO never really got installed. Only after making me wait for weeks ULTRA ISO GOT INSTALLED.
6. VHDL SOFTWARE MODEL-SIM(ELECTRONCIS SOFTWARE) GOT INSTALLED BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SIMULATION IT CLOSES DOWN AUTOMATICALLY.
7. HIGH RAM REQUIREMENT (I AM USING 1 GB RAM STILL NOT SATISFIED)
8. EXPLORING THE OS IS VERY TOUGH.
9. WHEN EVER I TRY TO WORK ON COMMAND LINE MY COMP REBOOTS (I DON'T KNOW WHY)
10. MYSQL GOT INSTALLED BUT AFTER FEW DAYS IT NEVER WORKED AGAIN (GOD PLEASE SAVE MY SOUL)
11. MOST IMPORTANTLY EVERY THING IS SAME AS WINDOWS XP WITH ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT IT IS PRESENTED IN MORE GRAPHICAL AND BULKY MANNER. ITS LIKE OLD WINE IN A NEW GLASS.
12. START MENU IS HORRIBLE AND SO AS INTERNET EXPLORER.
FINAL DECREE (VERDICT): USE WINDOWS VISTA IF AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE 1 GB RAM (I RECOMMEND 2 GB HOWEVER). VISTA AND XP ARE ALMOST SAME WITH ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT BUGS IN VISTA ARE MORE (VISTA SOLEMNLY (EARNESTLY) NEED A RELEASE OF ITS FIRST SERVICE PACT). UNFORTUNATELY WINDOWS VISTA HAS USED THE OLD CLASSES OF WINDOWS XP AND HAS JUST ADDED FEW MORE EXTENDED SUB-CLASSES. (THOSE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH OOPS [ OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING]LANGUAGES LIKE JAVA & C++ WOULD UNDERSTAND THIS TECHNICAL JARGON)
