Why I love my Mac.
So, a lot of people at work are asking me about Windows Vista. And, even though UAB has not officially sanctioned it yet for on campus use, us IT geeks were allowed to get early copies of the UAB-licensed version.
Today, then, I repartioned my hard drive to make room for Vista, and then installed it. The visuals throughout the installation and configuration process are gorgeous, Microsoft has taken a lot of clues from Apple on how to make an operating system visually appealing.
And yet, you can't polish a turd. Within 60 seconds of my first log on to Vista, the PC completely and utterly locked up, requiring me to use the physical power button to shut the machine down. As of yet, I have not been able to successfully reboot into Vista.
I dream, someday, of working in an office where there are NO Windows machines, so I wouldn't have to deal with this crap.
