Windows Vista--- when does the "wow" actually begin?

Lets face it... at this point Windows Vista users would rather be using windows ME... I've had a variety of frustrating issues with it such as reliability and compatibility, blue screens... I'd like to leave this open ended, what do you like or dislike about Windows Vista? What would you like to see in windows 7? Comments Welcome

Take care.

Take care.

I don't like it but i rely on windows for some stuff.When I'm not using Windows I'm using Ubuntu (I'm a noob still, just started using it a week ago).
I don't like the fact that some the old software for windows is not compatible with it. I think it is common since that when you are making a new operating system they would make all the older stuff work for it.; ▶ Reply to This

Take care.

If I were working on the new Windows OS I would definitely put in backwards compatibility. But that is just me, I'm not sure about you guys.; ▶ Reply to This

and some other thing that I don't have time to post

just to say that all the good things I respected for vista are now history vista is pure shit even if you know how to use it
the only thing I'm use vista for from now is installing it on my old comp to break it apart and F***ing destroy it; ▶ Reply to This
