Forums - PC Discussion - Vista tops the list of Yahoo's 10 Worst Tech Products of 2007

http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/patterson/9908/10-worst-tech-products-of-2007

Really, does this surprise anyone?

edit: apparently there is no ranking to the tech, the site I got the link from said it was #1 so not sure where they got that from.

"Windows Vista: Where to begin? Vista arrived in stores months late, forced untold thousands of users to upgrade their hardware, made mincemeat of software and drivers that worked perfectly well in XP, ended up lacking many of the bold-faced features we'd been promised, and came saddled with new and annoying set of video DRM schemes. At least Vista now boasts an option for downgrading back to XP. (Now, before you Mac fanboys out there begin gloating, let me remind you that Leopard shipped a full six months late, and that many users are still suffering from sluggish, buggy systems after upgrading.)"

 I've had vista on my PC as a duel-boot for months, and I still despise the occasions I have to use it.

With that said,  my intention wasn't to turn this into yet another vista debate =P

this overall list is piss poor. wireless USB hasnt been perfected let alone should never been released before there was a fully working product. Intel's wireless USB is looking quite promising.

They will have to pry XP from my cold dead hands. Of course XP sucked to begin with too, but I won't be touching Vista until I'm forced too.



Yeah, the only reason I'd upgrade to Vista would be for games that require it, but unless it's worth it I'm not going near it for a long time.

 So do you agree or disagree?  

I'm not defending the article as their are definitely some things I disagree with but they did mention that they though that wUSB was the future...but that it wasn't ready yet..and you seem to agree..and yet disagree..?

I don't get the hate against Vista. Sure, I didn't exactly embrace it when I first used it but now that I'm used to it, I don't reallly want to back to XP. Vista is an improvement over XP, it's just too new to be useful right.



haha

Vista isn't that bad, although I only got my new laptop a few weeks ago and haven't yet figured out how to reach a command prompt.
