Holy crap - Scott and I agree on Vista. I stayed on Vista Sp1 for at least 1 year after Win7 came out.
I didn't mind it. I think one of the big problems was not only the interface change but the system requirements change. People tried to upgrade their old 512MB RAM systems and left Aero and all of the fancy turned on.
Really? you saw home users upgrading?
Ya. My dad had a small side shop and we saw it a good bit.

Yes, and it was a long gap after XP so XP was incredibly entrenched. And XP has replaced Win2K which had only been out for two years tops and had no consumer version and wasn't very good. And lots of users were coming from DOS. And many from NT4 who had skipped Win2K because it was so bad. So XP had nearly 100% penetration when Vista came out and with Vista being a new interface, new kernel.... it was going to have a rough time of it.

It was a pretty normal thing back then. People were into that stuff.

ost posts around here can be read in 1-3 mins. Most of these videos are more like 5 mins long. That alone makes it really hard to hit and run.
I also do a lot of my consumption of ML while waiting at places away from my office, so I can read on my phone, but not listen to/watch videos.I rarely watch videos... I close news sites that only have a story as a video.

Microsoft isn't crazy, they just wanted a Pepsi....

I actually bought Vista Ultimate, but mostly because it came with a free upgrade/coupon for Windows 7 Ultimate
I got Win7 Ultimate for hosting a launch party at my house.

Please tell me I'm not the only one that the person complaining sounds like the guy who traded in his Tesla Model something for another model, because it had no traction anymore, yet the tires were showing the belts. Duh!

Video content, did not watch.
Guy didn't know how to set the timezone on a Windows system, and jumped the conclusion that Microsoft just royally screwed up / couldn't figure out time zones, and gave up.
We had a client's onsite IT guy put in a ticket that the exchange server was 2 hours off! Nope, what recently changed?
You rebuilt your laptop and just changed the time and not the default pacific timezone.
Point us, -100 for you being the IT guy.
