Pain those articles are so opinionated. I have operated Vista since it was in Beta and i have yet to come across HALF of things they talk about. I can tell you for a fact that just by reading a couple of these they are DEAD wrong. #1....wrong on Vista 32 BIt you can installed unsigned drivers. I ahve done it several times for a bunch of my hardware. So that is out the Windows.
#16 is again Wrong. Vista SP1 is not jsut about security. They have made many adjustments to it that have boosted performance. Granted Vista still wont be as fast as XP but the performance part is added to SP1 of Vista to be released soon.
So jsut at a glance 2 of the thigns i read are both lies. I will continue to show you how much more they are wrong if you wish. But this jsut goes to show you that they are just about getting a article written without knowning all the facts. They just want people to read what they ahve to say.
M$ HAS fixed a lot of the issues. There are about 50 hotfixes that were not sent thru Windows Updates that address many more issues along with some of those being included in hotfixes that were sent thru.
Just reading #2 and that is wrong as well. I wont even continue this as that article is total crap.
