Vista - Just Another Cry for Attention

So, Micro$oft has finally release it's latest version of its bloatware OS, named Windows Vista. The question still remains...why? No one really needs the thing. I mean, XP was good enough. It solved all of the peccadilloes of the Windows 9x series and then some. Security was higher. Programs no longer crashed the entire system.

This new monster, however, is a resource hog all around. You need a minimum of 1 GB of RAM and 15 GB of free space for the OS. 15 GB? It's an operating system for cryin' out loud? It's primary job is system functionality and system security. What the heck takes 15 GB? All those damned graphics, that's what. Wasted space. I think I'll stick with Linux for work and XP SP2 for gaming. Soon, XP SP3 will be available. After that...I think Windows is dead after that.

The wave of the future, folks. It's either gonna be Apple or Linux (and Apple isn't much better than Micro$oft).
