                      A little context and a caveat: in order to meet print deadlines, I had to review the "RC1" version of Vista Ultimate, which Microsoft released in order to gather feedback from over-eager early adopters.
                      I wouldn't put too much stock in someone stupid enough to write reviews based on bate version of software.

                        Ya, cuz that wasn't the whole point of the release.

                            Vista is in a number of ways *LESS* functional than XP. They have released a new product that contains more restrictions on what you can and cannot do than the one it is succeding! Why the fuck would anyone want to openly invite that shit upon themselves? Quite how MS can keep a straight face while telling you the shit they want you to eat tastes like ice cream, I don't quite know.

                                  LOL, I find it funny how everyone is saying it sucks just cause its microsoft or because they downloaded a BETA, wtf did you think was going to happen with a beta?


                                  Lots of places have already said its better then XP for security.
