Vista Just Sucks
I’m trying to be open-minded here, but I can’t even get updates to install. The screen won’t always refresh properly, and SP1 keeps failing after going through the entire process.
It took me quite some time to figure out how to cajole the computer to check for updates without turning on automatic updates, and I have to confirm a UAC screen both to disable and enable a network device, which was only necessary because the networking system had convinced itself there was no internet access.
It’s a funny scene, with OS X (I recently learned to say “Oh Ess Ten” rather than “Oh Ess Ex”) running on my MacBook right alongside this poor desktop doing all it can to get simple updates installed.
Plus, I’m bridging my MacBook’s AirPort wireless into the desktop, since it lacks a wireless card currently. Something about this arrangement reminds me of the final scene of Grapes of Wrath.
Shudder.
