I hate Vista with a Passion. I have never suffered so many blue screens and incompatibilities.
To get over all of it, I installed Virtual Machine, so I could run all my application without having to buy new stuff and learn them.
It also saved me another thousand dollars so I didn’t have to buy a new laser printer and other peripherals.
Also, the new office(2007?) Blows big time. They completely changed the look and feel of the office suite, to the point it is unrecognizable.
Menu items are in different places with different icons and what should be familiar is buried under some Rosetta Stone hyroglyphs that must have made sense to some lab coat wearing genius but, I am now no longer an expert at using applications I have used for years.
They should have given you the ability to use “Classic View” instead they foisted Classic Coke on us and coupled it with a shit version .002-a.
Next time I buy a computer, it will be in advance of even needing it. So I can learn it and see if I need Virtual Machine to run the stuff I want.
I love office 2007, best product Microsoft ever put out (sorry, but its truly awesome)
Never have I used an application's help function as much as I have with the latest version of Word. I was fighting it for a while with an IT guy's 'damn-it-I-can-figure-this-out' mentality.
Lately I've just given up and used help like some poor confused user.
At least in OpenOffice things are pretty much where you expect them to be.
Look...all I really want to do is insert a date...
