"Bad Vista" site launched by the FSF

[Ersan]

So people shouldn't use Vista because they have to pay for it?

[Warrior]

I'd rather have someone on Vista as opposed to someone on XP any day.

All the FSF does is bitch about stupid stuff that no one will ever care about.

My grandmother isn't going to care about DRM
My mom isn't going to care about DRM

In fact, the only people even crying over DRM are the computer savvy people.

FSF are like hippies. Jesus christ.

I agree (wait.. WHAT?!) with Warrior.

@Newby: You might want to change your password. You dad apparently has access to your account.

Lets forget:

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_and_safety_features_new_to_Windows_Vista

because some dumb fsf people start a site.

I think my least-favorite "improvement" for parents is the lack of the word "start" on the "start menu" -- that's going to cause a lot of headaches :)

My mom didnt have too much trouble, she's a semi power user and uses the Windows Key.
My grandmother hasn't complained about it. Maybe she figured that one out on her own :P

Because its so hard/confusing to say "Windows Button" instead of "Start Button" ?

I'm not a zealot, unless you mean I'm a Windows XP zealot.  Which I most definitely am not.

I know that my grandpa isn't going to be able to find the "Windows logo button", tech support guys are going to have to walk them through clicking "on the circle in the corner at the bottom of the screen" -- I know enough tech guys who deal with enough idiots.  3/4 of my friends work for Comcast.

Oh no. Another ten seconds extra on the phone. Sure, it adds up, but it isn't that big a deal. It's not taking two-three minutes each time!

Good call.  Lead the charge and then we won't have to see you on the forums!

HAHA!

It's called the Windows Orb and it will become more common as Vista takes more and more home computers.
It's not that radical a change, and it's refreshing at best
