pitiful Microsoft Windows Vista . So many citizenry mean it suck that Microsoft has extended the sprightliness of the ancient but stalwart Windows XP , originally scheduled to stop ship in January 2008 . Now the company will widen XP ’s sales life until the end of June 2008 , and will keep those boxes of software flow to “ emerging grocery ” through June 2010 . Of course , Microsoft spokesflacks did n’t mention anything about Vista ’s suckage , instead insisting that “ there are some customers who need a little more fourth dimension to make the switch . ” Yeah .
We ’ve dipped a toe or two into Vista here and there , and except for its pretty Aero interface it did n’t really pop the question much of an vantage over Windows XP . So we stay on nestled in the uncompromising , comfortable embracing of XP , the oxygen on which this post you ’re reading was compose , and which for us has been John Rock solid since its entry in 2001 .
Little did we realize that Vista would be such an unpopular upgrade and halt performer , sales - fresh and also in the hurrying and efficiency section . But we hold out hope that the upcoming SP1 ( Service Pack 1 ) , now in secret beta , might volunteer some solace . Come on Microsoft , at least get disembarrass of all those nagging dialog boxes everywhere in Vista . [ Information Week ]
