1. Comment - Microsoft CEO Ballmer forced to testify about Vista, for three hours

   (Nov 25, 2008 - 8:02 AM)

   I have yet to see anyone remotely tech savvy *not* complain about Vista, especially in regards to its speed. Just yesterday I helped a friend with a VPN issue involving accessing a shared folder on an SBS2003 system. It's something you can set up in about a minute in XP, but in Vista, it involved a pile of Googling (which showed that Vista had major VPN glitches), an obscure update from Microsoft, and some finger crossing. What the hell?!
   
   And this morning I tested out a very old brickish Pentium II powered Thinkpad with just 16 Mb of memory and running Win 95. (Another friend wanted me to make sure there was nothing important on it before tossing.) That thing started up, shut down, and was snappier in feel than any recent PC I've been on. So much for progress....
