Ugh, I hate Vista. It came on my HP Pavilion laptop that I got for college. I couldn’t stand it. I quickly bought XP Professional w/ SP3 off of Newegg and it’s been awesome. I am optimistic about Windows 7. I hear that it is less memory-hogging than Vista, and will not need additional equipment when you upgrade your current computer (assuming, of course, that your computer is compatible with Vista, etc.) I hear though that it would be able to run on something as small as a netbook. this is very good news. I will not upgrade right away, but if I see it and feel that it’s a good change, I will upgrade. There is no perfect OS. I understand that each OS is an improvement upon the last one, but it is never perfect. With each new OS, there is always new technology that we are incorporating into our computers that the OS needs to manage. Before we have time to perfect the system we have now, there is a new system available, with new tricks and features to learn! I feel that reaching “perfection” in OSes, or anything else for that matter is like a line on a graph with a vertical asymptote, and y = perfection. You get closer and closer and even CLOSER with each step, but you never reach what you are striving for. However, it doesn’t stop us from trying, eh?
