<p>“Actually, XP has been significantly updated thrice since its release. The most recent update was 3 months ago. I’m using Leopard right now, and I see absolutely nothing that’s so amazing about it that I wouldn’t have in XP.”</p>
<p>I like the seamless integration of 32-bit and 64-bit products and drivers. A real Unix console. And some pretty amazing power savings on laptops.</p>
<p>“Not to mention the fact that when Microsoft showed a “new” operating system to a group of people, stating that it wasn’t Vista, 90% of the people thought it good. Turns out it was actually Vista; it just didn’t look like it. A lot of the Vista hate just stems from its poor reputation. Many people hate Vista because they want to, not because there’s something concretely bad about it that they don’t like.”</p>
<p>Viewing a video of someone using an OS and actually using it are two different things. I’ve been using it for a few days and got so frustrated with it that I installed a Windows XP Virtual Machine on it so that I could get things done. Part of my problems are applications that don’t run on Vista x64 or that haven’t been tested on Vista. But they’re selling x64 in stores now so I would have expected better integration on the OS. Some of Microsoft’s own development tools have issues with Vista and 32-bit/64-bit.</p>
<p>“That’s not to say there aren’t problems with Vista; I wouldn’t use it myself. Then again, I would prefer not to use any version of Windows.”</p>
<p>Well, we all have to work in the real world.</p>
