10 Annoying Vista Problems
1. Lack of available drivers from ISVs causing application conflicts
2. Lack of available drivers for existing and new peripherals and hardware components;
3. Buggy drivers;
4. New security feature often flags existing applications as suspicious and interrupts service;
5. Few applications aside from Vista and Office 2007 take advantage of user account control;
6. Customers are confused by Office 2007's ribbon-like user interface;
7. The OS automatically recommends which Vista versions is best for each PC's configuration. This will cause small businesses to download different versions of Vista;
8. Benefits of Vista and Office 2007 running together are not obvious. Partners and IT staff need training for maximum ROI;
9. Deployment isn't easy. Partners should use either Business Desktop Deployment tool, "lite" BDD no-charge tool or other tools;
10. Hardware doesn't run Windows Vista well.
1. Lack of available drivers from ISVs causing application conflicts
Most applications I utilize haven't shown this problem, so shens there.
2. Lack of available drivers for existing and new peripherals and hardware components;
Not a piece of hardware I have didn't have drivers for Vista.
3. Buggy drivers;
This
isn't Vista's problem, this is the manufacturers...and actually seems
to be predominantly limited to NVIDIA and ATi right now.
4. New security feature often flags existing applications as suspicious and interrupts service;
Haven't run into this.
5. Few applications aside from Vista and Office 2007 take advantage of user account control;
UAC is worthless for people that know what they're doing (it's the first thing I disable).
6. Customers are confused by Office 2007's ribbon-like user interface;
This has nothing to do with Vista.
7. The OS automatically recommends which Vista versions is best for each PC's configuration. This will cause small businesses to download different versions of Vista;
*shrugs* So?
10. Hardware doesn't run Windows Vista well.
My hardware runs Vista just fine.
Personally, I think MaximumPC seriously missed the boat on their evaluation, and I've always gotten the impression that they're MS haters. I think that shows through right here.
