As I'm typing these words I know that I'll be happily operating my system away with MS Windows Vista in a few years time. But right now I have some serious hate toward Microsoft's latest crapbag OS.For starters what's with the F**king crazy system requirements? It jst chaws dwn half the system recourses just to run the OS itself .

Even in this age of 1TB hard drives and 4ghz+ processors its still too much to ask... for an OS. And you have to wait hours till the F**king 15GB operating system installs on your PC. God help me if something goes wrong during the installation process and have to start the installation all over again .

Secondly what's with the shit load of incompatibility issues? An operating system is there to run any piece of garbage I want it to, not the other way around - where I should run programs that vista thinks is good enough, Gimme a break! And dnt get me started with the whole tango abt MS holding DirectX 10 hostage on Vista just to force Gamers to buy this half ass spoiled brat of an OS. *Sigh*

I know its very nice looking and all but on the other hand I couldn't care even the entire graphics interface have been replaced with animations of bouncing boobs if the overall usage is this bad .

Also Microsoft has likely pissed off every single system administrator and IT guy by shuffling everything around, especially critical system settings. I gave up and consulted a reference book (not written by MS, so it actually was helpful). Not good. Piss off IT guys, then you die.But what of the most alarming and upsetting aspect of this latest offspring of Redmond? You’re gonna love this:
