well if you dont like vista, too bad. windows 7 will be based on vista and server 2008.
and dont want to sound like a douche, but f**kcing get over it. its been out for a year and if you don't like it just dont use it. as for your dumb ass co-workers, tell them to go dildo themselves. also, in general, customers are dumb shits too; welcome to reital. if you dont like to deal with their lack of computer literacy, find a new occupation.
the vista is "teh ghey" or "p.o.s." line has been used for over a year know. yes its a resource hog, but so was windows xp when it first came out. ram and cpu power are so cheap now adays that there is no excuse for you running less than 1GB anyway, unless you're either too cheap, too broke or dont care about computers.
and fyi, im running xp and plan to do so until windows 7 comes out and build a new computer. im just tired of people bashing vista. everyone know it's "teh suxor."
