Bye Bye Windows Vista

Posted by manishn under General

A few weeks ago, I bought this Asus Laptop from Newegg.com. For folks who like to know configuration, it is a ASUS F3 Series F3JP-AP035C-A NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo T7200(2.00GHz) 15.4″ Wide XGA 1GB DDR2 667 120GB 5400rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 - Retail. I also bought 1 GB of Corsair memory and upgraded this baby to its maximum capacity of 2GB RAM. It comes pre-loaded with Windows Vista. There are far too many posts in the blogosphere about how “great” and “secure”Windows Vista really is, so I will just put my 2 cents - it isn’t.

Microsoft Windows Vistaprovides not one iota of productivity, speed, security or anything else that a next generation operating system ought to provide - a whole lotta nothing is what it is.Apart from eye-candy, which some users might appreciate,I did not see anything that would improve my computing experience.

I wish my experience was different; I expect a lot more from Microsoft.

Making an Operating System secure doesn’t mean you have to make it difficult to use - I am failing to understand how User Account Control changes anything whatsoever from the previous paradigm of all users being Administrators? Secondly, why should UAC ask if I wanted to launch an application or operating system function? Didn’t I just launched it - using the keyboard and mouse that was attached to the PC; not remotely, mind you or by using some internal function call (think, source of event)? I am sure there is a reason for it, but at the end of the day, even if the user said launch the application, if the application code itself is not secure, it will be exploited.

Anyway, I have given up on Windows Vista. I am now a OpenSuse 10.2 user :-). Installation was a breeze, no hardware incompatibilities; sound, wireless lan, display etc. all worked from the ground up!
