Book Review: Windows Vista Annoyances
|
|
To read all the buzz on the Internet, there are a lot of people who are annoyed with Windows Vista just now. My son is a Marine serving in Iraq and the last day he was home, we bought him a laptop with Windows Vista installed so he could have a means of communication once he was deployed. Since then, he's been calling periodically asking what he can do to "fix" it. His latest outcry was to ask for a copy of Windows XP so he could "repair" his problems. I thought about that this morning as I picked up my review copy of Karp's book and wondered if the answer to these sorts of problems, (and my son isn't the only one complaining) could be found between the covers of Windows Vista Annoyances. Let's find out.

The back cover's summary seems to indicate that the book is designed more to
"enhance" the Vista experience than to actually fix any of its (perceived) flaws.
Still, I proceeded hopefully. I think the problem might be Redmond's attempt at making
an operating system that "solves" all of the usability problems the average end user has
complained about over the years. I suspect that the effort has gone horribly wrong, but
then I use Ubuntu as my home desktop and Windows XP Pro at work and I'm used to and
like both of them. Full Story |
