Well, my first post. I’m currently in a training class on Windows Vista, which I personally have been slow to adopt. So far I’ve enjoyed it, I think mostly because of the instructor’s broad knowledge. That and he doesn’t have a bias towards or against MS.
It’s not that I dislike Vista, it just seems (like a lot of software lately) to be, well, half-baked. Some of the ideas and implementations of those ideas are great, and I like them. Other ideas are great, and the implementations aren’t so hot. On the whole, it’s an OK product. I’m neutral towards it as an OS. More specifically, nothing about it excites me. I guess you could say that in the 10 years or so I’ve used Microsoft’s operating systems, the sensation of a treadmill has come over me.
On the other hand, I do get exited when I toy around with Linux or open-source software. I’m no Linux fan-boy, so don’t worry about that. But more about that later.
