I know im probably going to get shit from all you guys after sending this email... but now after actually personally using Vista and owning a copy.. i can only share my words of wisdom.. if you are interested in knowing why Vista sucks... read below.. if you don't care.. spare yourself the time and just get OS X.
My work gave me a legit copy of Windows Ultimate Vista Edition (their "uber" package). I have been using it for the past two weeks, and I now have all my previous data copied back to it. All i can say is....
Northing is new, only the program name changes, its icons, and where these things live in the operating system. Its all the same shit as XP (slightly more stable), with pretty windows (still not comparable to OS X), loaded with DRM (your worst nightmare), and it IS slower than XP. Benchmarks have proved XP is faster for most tasks... why you might ask? The answer is simple.. UAC within Vista (User Access Control, their way of securing XP, which is simply to ask you 10 times if you want to do something... I swear I had to click on accept 6 fucking times to delete a shortcut!!!!). Another reason why its slow, and its probably the most significant reason, is because of DRM... Vista is made to strip all your rights over all your data... Your data will not be yours, it will be leased from the provider... you own nothing, and you will not be able to play or open that content on any other computer.
Here is the link that made me write this email...
http://www.forbes.com/security/2007/02/10/microsoft-vista-drm-tech-security-cz_bs_0212vista.html It explains why DRM is fucking everything up.. and how Windows is helping them...
Seriously, I was really excited in the past with Vista and how they were going to introduce their new file system (this is what Vista was supposed to be... but they stripped the most important feature, they stripped it completely), and I was willing to give it a chance.. but all those limitations, the stripping of a new file system (notice that windows is the OS with the oldest filesystem now.. it can't recognize drives larger than 137GB without drivers ajaja), plus spending another 300-400 bucks on hardware just so you can get shadows under windows seems a bit overkill to me.. not to mention Vista Ultimate Edition is $450!!!! and still has 3/4 of the features that come with OS X.
The solution: Stop being a sheep and get OS X, where everything is open, its open source, the most secure and stable OS, best graphical user interface, only has one version of the OS (no home, business, enterprise, ultimate, superduper god version, etc...) just one that gives you all features. Plus you get to run any flavor of windows, linux, unix, or os x natively on your Mac, and use an OS that is years ahead Windoze.
Steve Jobs apparently spoke this week on how he urges the music and movie industry to change their current wrecked online business model that depends on DRM, to a more open system that doesn't corrupt the consumer and generate more online sales... if there is one person in this world that has the power to influence the music industry.. its one man... our one and only lil Steve...
Why do I write this.. for my love of computers and most of all Music.. for DRM awareness. If I buy a CD sold by Sony, should I only be able to play it on sony discmans and sony cd players??? (Thats DRM for you...)
Clear as mud???
bueno .. this is what you get when im bored at work.... jajaja
later dudes...
