Sorry for the prolonged absence, my loyal readers (all four of you…). It’s been a tough few weeks, at work and home.
But it’s all good. Just busy.
Here’s a post from a blogger at ZDNet UK, talking about why he’s gone from Vista to Linux. Some key observations:
Why did Microsoft ignore the first rule of usability and ditch all familiar methods of doing stuff that I’d spent 15 years getting used to?
Yeah, that drove me crazy too. Couldn’t find anything in the control panel areas. And I just couldn’t stand the new start menu.
Why is Vista so slow (part 1)? On a brand new £1300 notebook built (one would think) with Vista in mind, the operating system should fly, especially when no applications are running. Not so; it’s a complete dog. It’s so slow that applications often won’t register that I’ve hit the space bar until I’m halfway through the next word. I’m a fast typer, but not that fast.
Read my post about my downgrade to XP, and you’ll see I had this experience as well.
