windows vista

Microsoft's newest Operating System, the successor to windows XP. Windows Vista takes all the worst features of Windows XP, and makes them worse, moves them around to new, hard to find locations, and adds a ton of new features. Some of these new features are: *Explorer windows that regularly freeze up *A proprietary web browser, Internet Explorer 7, that comes packaged with the system and cannot be uninstalled or deleted. *400+ MB RAM usage right off the bat. *Built-in DRM to restrict a users ability to do most anything. *UAC (User Account Control), a wonderful feature that questions the intelligence of its users by asking if they're sure they want to do what they're trying to do, then double-checking that they didn't accidentally press "Yes" when they meant "No." *Shadow-copy, and other similar hidden processes, that keep hidden backups of your data files to ensure that your privacy is always compromised. *Little backwards-compatibility. *New versions of old familiar tools that remove all those pesky progress displays and status indicators, so you have no idea whether the program is actually doing anything or not (because that's none of your business). For example, the new checkdisk and defrag. *A complete new set of security holes for virusus, adware, trojans, etc to exploit. *The new "aero" interface, which is incompatible with almost everything non-Microsoft. Windows Vista is also known as Microsoft's latest attempt to create a product worse than windows ME.
