Can't wait to get rid of this Windows Vista 64 bit piece of crap on my machine.

Started work at 7 this morning and got the "Grey Screen of Death" with its Startup Repair program.

Every damn time an upgrade for ANY program calls for a restart this stupid crap pops up and disables my machine for 30-60 minutes, but not today. Not when I need to work from the get-go. No sir!

Today was a two hour FUBAR waiting for that crap to figure out it was an OS and not a permanent screensaver.

I had an acquaintance ask my advice on buying a new laptop to link up with an old tower they had (I did the network setup for them). I advised them to buy one that still had XP installed; not Vista (This was shortly after Vista came out and the horror stories were just beginning). What did they do, they went to Best Buy and bought a Vista laptop because it looked like such a good deal.

Uh, huh. He’s still complaining about problems he’s having. I just kind of smile...
