Dear Microsoft,
I hate you and I hate your big ugly head and I hate Windows and I hate Vista and you can shut up.
Sincerely,
Matt Mitchell
P.S. Cram it.
FYI: Vista actually takes longer to load than any Windows product ever. No matter how fast processors get, Microsoft always manages to find a way to dumb the speeds down with excessive code. And once again Vista has spontaneously deleted a document I was working on right off the hard drive. I had a backup copy this time (and a printed version, actually, but that’s a rare case) but this could easily have been the only one. This is the third or fourth time this has happened, and I’m in the process of d-loading OpenOffice right now. I’ve used it before and didn’t like it (like, ten years ago) but if it works and doesn’t delete my work irretrievably, then I’m switching. And I’m thinking really hard about either switching back to XP or just switching to another platform altogether. I’m so sick of Microsoft as a whole. The whole GDFAM (just consider that an expletive of ginormous proportion) company, from the CEO down to the creepy little lady that cleans the toilets.
P.S.S. Microsoft:
Suck it!

Sorry about losing those documents. That really sucks. For me it was the fact that nothing ever fuggin’ worked in Vista. I tried copying a file using a USB Flashdrive. On the Mac, plug in, Mac sees it, copy files. Plug into Vista Machine, some fifteen dialog boxes later and it won’t see a generic USB Flashdrive (to be fair, XP worked with it right away).
Welcome to the Dark Side of computing by getting a Mac. We’re much friendly here because we haven’t been kicking the cat in frustration.

I’ve never used Vista, but it’s my favourite Microsoft OS. It makes more Mac and Linux users than any other MS OS. Don’t sell the old PC, put Ubuntu on it and see what you think. Heck, you might want to do that now, while you save your pennies for a Mac. If you burn the ISO for Ubuntu, you can boot into it, play around and then take out the CDROM and reboot into Vista for more torture.
PS By the way, using a USB drive in Ubuntu is just as easy as the Mac and XP.
