Leopard sucks, XP is old and Vista rocks

Oct 17th, 2007 | By Steven Hodson | Category: Technology

Windows Vista - a letdown Oh I wish that headline was true - I really do.

Unfortunately it couldn’t be further from the truth. The reality is that Leopard is coming into a computing world anxious for a real improvement in the desktop environment and it looks like it may just deliver the goods.

Whereas Windows is facing a userbase that is either slowly returning to XP or not even going into the Vista world. Even as Microsoft readies Service Pack 1 for Vista preparations are underway to update XP for a longer life with SP3.

I had high hopes for Vista even though I wasn’t totally expecting to be WOW’ed as much as Microsoft was hoping for. Now however I find myself at a crossroads with Windows where I am going through the decision process of whether or not to wait for the first Vista service pack or to cut my losses and re-install XP.

As I sit at this crossroads though I am reading up on what Leopard is bringing to the table. I can almost feel the same excitement that many of the Mac users I know through blogs are feeling and I realize that it is an excitement that as a Windows’ user I found sorely lacking with the release of Vista.

I almost wish I was rich enough to afford to add a MacBook running Leopard to my home setup just so I could enjoy a modern operating system but that is as likely to happen as Steve Jobs showing up on my doorstep bearing gifts. Instead I find myself going through a mental checklist of what I am going to need in order to return to XP.

For the first time I have a feeling of being let down by Microsoft and that really sucks.

Man, what a diliberate slam by a mac zombie. Vista is wonderful, from a guy whom, in HIS home setup, has XP, Leopard on a mac, Vista and Linux. See, some of us know how to use computers, and do so by trade. Unlike you mac shills who are merely mesmerized by your shiny media player. Oh, but it runs MS office now... DOLTS
