    Off topic but I always thought Vista was pretty good. A lot of the stuff people hated was just change. Things like UAC are normal now, can you image how bad it would be if everything still ran as administrator? Vista basically threw itself on the grenade.

    I use Linux by the way, don’t lynch me.

      I hated vista, because I had to repair and re-install it multiple times on my less-tech sawwy friends PC, since sometimes it would simply kill itself! Lol. I do not miss that garbage pile.

        I am not entirely sure that is a Vista thing. I recall repairing and reinstalling 95, 98 and XP for less tech savvy friends for this same reason.

          It is probably a Windows thing, yes. I just had to do it the most often with Vista, which soured my experience with the operating system.
