If you mean Vista has a large disk footprint to accommodate legacy compatibility code, then it’s true but so what? Large disks are cheap now and the legacy code causes no performance hit for sitting unused on the disk.

Designed by salesmen? No more than anyone else’s product. If it were truly the salesman’s dream it would be easier to sell, no?

Engineering faulty? Only to the extent described in my article.

Windows 7 no better? Based on what evidence? There is much already to suggest Windows 7 will be successful.

I started off this blog to document my (initially bad) experiences with Vista. I have faithfully documented both those early problems and the subsequent improvements.

You on the other hand are an Apple fan-boy with no objectivity whatever.

Vista is bloatware designed by salesmen. The user interface is clunky. The engineering is wasteful and faulty. It is truly a turkey and I strongly suspect that Windows 7 is not going to be any better. Microsoft has lost Bill Gates and will likely never recover.
