It's inefficient, unintuitive, unstable, unsafe, unfast and ungood.
I don't hate Windows. I just like Mac OS better. I don't have nearly the problems that I do running Windows.
I don't hate Vista, I just find that for most things it takes significantly longer to do than in OSX. I also have yet to find anything (that I do, I don't play games) that Windows does better than OSX.
Consequently I'm not totally sure why I have a 40GB partition on my hard drive for Vista, but I like to play around in it every once in a while.
Exactly, everything in Vista is done ass backwards. My nieces Gateway laptop came with a wireless card built in and a button next to the trackpad to turn it on, but then you had to go deep into Vista to turn it on there too! In OS X you just click an icon on the menu bar. Plus Vista runs you around in circles. I was trying to connect to a wireless network and was told to go here, then when I got there was told to go back to the other place, and it was just a never ending cycle. And don't even get me started on how Vista will try and repair problems itself.
If you can't connect to a wireless network, I think it might be more of the user's problem and not vista.
A lot of people I see bash Vista when they never really had a chance to use it. You can't install it on old hardware, and you have to make sure your hardware is compatible. I laugh at the people complaining it runs like crap on 5+ year old computer. And don't say "yea well I just got a brand new computer and it still runs like crap". I know they are selling prebuilt computers that can barely run Vista, and people buy them thinking it will be all great. It won't. You need recent, reliable hardware. I installed Vista Ultimate 64 bit on my computer, and I made sure I had all of the drivers pre downloaded and it all works perfectly. Everything works perfectly. Never froze, no blue screens, etc. You need to know what you are doing installing new operating systems. You can't just assume it will work on your hardware.
Also, to you people saying Windows crashes all the time, constant errors, constad BSOD's, there has to be a user problem there because that won't happen unless you seriously do not know what you are doing.
That is the end of my rant.
Nice rant.The operating system is supposed to be designed for the end user, the end user isn't supposed to have to learn how to put together an OS and make it run. This is a big fault in Windows, the user base is like 90% of the population. Do you think 90% of the population knows what a driver is? Or DLL? Nein. They don't. They just expect the operating system to work for them. They shouldn't have to work for the operating system. If something isn't straight forward (like joining a network apparently) then the OS writer has failed. If an end user has to go to the command prompt in order to fix a problem the OS designers/writers have failed. If an end user has to reinstall the OS because of constant crashing those responsible for the OS have failed.
I don't I actually love Vista. It works perfectly and never causes me any problems. I wouldn't change a thing! For serious!
I love Vista because people hate me for using it. I love Vista because ignorant people bash Vista because it's the trendy thing to do. I love Vista because I don't experience any hardships you speak of having when you "use" Vista.
The three most annoying things about Vista:
1 - SLOOOOWWWW filesystem and network performance, specially when copying files over the network
2 - Configuring a network is a PITA
3- They moved things around just for the sake of moving it, with no benefit whatsoever. You get used after a while, but need lots of "mental retraining" to get it working correctly.
My mother does love Vista's new UI, though (she's not technical at all, though).
That being said, I have to recognize that Windows Server 2003 and 2008 are great products. I just finished a deployment using 2003 SMB (main server) and 2008 (Terminal Services - the RemoteApp feature is great), and they are stable as a rock, and, after a little learning curve, not that hard to manage (even though the tuning stage took us longer than planned).
If you can't connect to a wireless network, I think it might be more of the user's problem and not vista.

I had no problem joining my home network. It was easier than xp.
I have never had to go to the command prompt.
I've never had a crash and have not had to reinstall.
I agree!
I agree again! It seems like a lot of people see some people saying "OMG VISTA SUZKKKZ" So they automatically think that. Actually try it and even if you have any problems, try to fix them. Usually it is very simple.
SP1 seems to have fixed that problem. (Even though I never had it in the first place)
It has to calculate everything when your moving / copying or deleting
Sure they don't happen as often as BSODs, but they do happen.
Let's see some numbers.
I think this song explains it well.
