| Opinion: Why Windows Vista will suck |
Mar. 01, 2006
Responding to a recent article in ExtremeTech entitled "Why Windows Vista Won't Suck," DesktopLinux.com columnist Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, who's been using Vista for months, is pulling no punches: Microsoft's replacement for Windows XP will indeed "suck," he retorts.
"While I write a lot about Linux, and I prefer it, my real specialty is that I know operating systems of all types and sorts, including Vista," Vaughan-Nichols writes. "So when I say Vista sucks, well, I know what I'm talking about."
"'Suck' is a relative term, though," he adds. "Vista will be better than XP, which has easily been Microsoft's best desktop operating system to date. However, Vista also requires far more hardware oomph than previous Windows systems ... The truth is that very, very few people are going to be upgrading their existing systems to Vista. To make it work well, you're really going to need a new computer. If you didn't buy your PC in 2006, I wouldn't even try to run Vista on it."
