How Vista sucks

Let me count the ways... I know it's easy to pick at, but I'm just so... Oh gawd it's so awful.

Yesterday I wrestled with a computer to try and stop it from running slower than a granny with a walker. I removed the stupid warnings. Removed the rounded edges of the windows and all the other CPU-melting eye-candy and it was still barely functioning.

My hapless friend even got roped into getting mcafee because it came bundled and he couldn'tfigure out how to get rid of it and install an anti virus like AVG free. Now mcafee pops up whenyou hover the mouse on Google search results and tells you that mcafee scans hundreds ofthousands of webpages but this particular one isn't one of them, ghee wiz, what are the chances, there's only like 10 billion webpages on the interwebs.

Edit: I nearly forgot, I tried to install the new Service Pack 1 for vista, and after downloading nearly half a gigaby of data (albeit pretty quickly) Vista told me (with a smirk) that I couldn't install the update because the computer was running a Danish version of Vista :(

I'm looking forward to getting rid of this pesky vista and install a good OS like Ubuntu that even lets him run Photoshop :)
