Windows Vista - A dog's breakfast
Opinion. It sucks. It's a complete mess; a dog's breakfast. It's
bug-riddled; it contains legacy features that hark back to Windows 3.1,
and, worst of all, it can't be trusted with your valuable data. The user
interface only looks slick; underneath it's a slapped-together
hotchpotch of brain-dead, dysfunctional and downright buggy features.
Windows Vista was surely designed and built by the same well-meaning but
thoroughly misguided committee of morons who were responsible for the
three-legged Bactrian camel named Humphrey.
