They're biased. It means that they don't care how good or bad anything is, they just hate it because they love something else (Apple/Mac). They will never stop talking about that useless brick the Apple TV, yet they keep putting down Vista, constantly.
I don't know if you've noticed... but more than just Apple fanbois have been putting down Vista... constantly! The media, other Windows users, Microsoft even when they halfheartedly admit to flaws still being present that they previously claimed to have fixed, everyone... for the last two months, they've all been complaining.
Now, I know it seems fun to target us Apple-fanbois and say it's because were just picking on Vista, but that doesn't take away all the complaints coming from the other sources.
And, don't we have the right to pick on it? I mean, especially when your Windows-god Bill Gates gets on a national news show and claims that certain features in Vista are the first time they've ever existed in an OS or that others are innovations, when anyone that looks at what they've done suddenly has a sense of deja vu because 90% of it has been in OS X for the last three to four years, if not longer?
Sorry? I don't agree with you, Vista has many, many features that are NOT in any Mac OS, or Linux for that matter. Even XP has tons of features that are missing in OSX (system restore anyone?).
Not only this, but I've been using Vista since a week after it came out, and have had issues, but they were ALL driver related. None of them were the fault of the OS itself. The OS is a very solid base, but hardware manufacturers have yet to release stable drivers for Vista yet. I promise you, in 6 months, Vista will be more stable than XP with drivers.
The problem isn't even Microsoft's, they gave hardware manufacturers plenty of time to get drivers out, but Creative, Nvidia, and other companies are just lagging behind. They have no excuse, if there's a new Microsoft OS out, it's their responsibility to make drivers ASAP, and they failed miserably.
Microsoft could have delayed Vista further until drivers were out, but they already delayed it so much that if they did it anymore, people would start to question if there even was a Vista.
HP has had plenty of time to fine-tune its finger-friendly TouchSmart software, and now, its newest model, the TouchSmart 610, ushers in a fresh design, highlighted by a hinge that allows the display to slide down and lie nearly flat.
