Student.
Help.
Forum.
They say that Linux is only for students to use.
They say that Linux users need to ask people questions.
They say that people who use Linux need to RTFM.
Why is it that people say that they spent entire weekends (or weeks) trying
to get their Vista installation sorted out? Many just give up.
Example:
An open letter to Bill Gates
,----[ Quote ]
| Dear Bill Gates
|
| Give me back my weekend. I bought a new Windows Vista laptop -- and
| that's when the trouble began.
|
| [...]
|
| But what really grates is that your system is incompatible with two
| of the vital tools of my trade. Vista refuses to load the software
| for my newish Olympus digital recorder. And here?s what takes the
| biscuit. Vista rejects my HP IPAQ handheld device ? even though the
| software for that was created by Microsoft!
|
| So in order to put Vista at the centre of what I do, I would have to
| buy hundreds of pounds of new hardware.
|
| [...]
|
| My conclusion? For all the expensive and much-extended gestation,
| Vista was not ready for commercial release. And, just so you know,
| I've never once had a comparably horrible experience with the
| Google boys.
