Clarification Of My “Don’t Blame Vista” Posting

Apparently my post yesterday got a few people upset, which I am usually prepared for and welcome. I stand with Microsoft and that is bound to create hate mail from the masses.

However, I believe my comments were mistook and I want to set the record straight. On the legal side of things, a court will judge if Microsoft is guilty or not. On a personal note, my mother-in-law purchased one of those Vista Capable systems and I have been trying to get that thing to speed up for the past year. So, even having written the book “Tricks of the Vista Masters”… this particular Vista Master couldn’t get the thing moving any better. I shut down everything I could think of… but the system just isn’t up to par. Well, we are going to pursue this further and see about getting some money back on the laptop so that she can get another one… a better one!

Here is where I think you might understand better what I was explaining in my post yesterday. Many have clobbered Vista (and some have the technical data and experience with it to do so). Many have just done that to rage against the Microsoft machine. Some people have never even touched Vista and yet they will claim it stinks!

I love it. The developers did an excellent job on it. I’ve had no trouble with it outside of the ordinary with any system. And when we get my mother-in-law a new machine… it will have Vista on it!!!

My point was not to confuse a legal issue with a technical one. The two are not one and the same, although your anger may make it seem as if it is. If Microsoft is found guilty… blame Microsoft. But Vista in and of itself, is not what is on trial here.
