microsoft s windows vista is disappointment

Need I say more, have used Linux that makes more sense and easier to use and I hate Linux.

Well, if you still feel strongly about it, try Windows Sentiments and submit some ideas of your own :o) They're always happy to hear people's ideas. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=55160

I am saying it's not that easy to use, like early windows, from 3.1 to xp.

Andre:
It would be unprofitable for the Windows team to build a Linux Distro because enough copies wouldn't be sold to cover costs. Because of the size of any Windows distribution any security flaws or openings have a much broader effect.
Reading this group while waiting for Vista CPP is very reminiscent of the x64 CPP group before x64 was released. This is a beta release but everybody expects it to be a fully complete final operating system. No matter how much testing is performed with test stations before release, it's not complete until testing is performed publicly with many unknown variables added. The best approach is to research as fully as possible, then test to find what works or doesn't work. If a flaw is found determine if its operating system, software, hardware or driver related if possible before blaming the operating system as the flaw.
A classic example is an old DOS game called Brix, it could still be played with Windows 98 but Windows 2000 or XP couldn't be slowed down enough for the game to function. The processing speeds and amounts of data being moved at a time are constantly increasing so the operating system has to evolve to keep up with current needs.

I always thought the Program Manager in Windows 3.1 was a communistic boxed in experience. Installing hardware and software was pretty much playing Russian roulette with your data. There wasn't a device driver framework in place, which means, anybody could write drivers for any hardware with the guarantee of it making the system unstable. Installing it was a PITA, and did I say the UI is ugly? -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm

Faster and easier to just code what you want in Linux and just use that instead...

maybe you should go back to using win 3.1 if you are unable to keep up with changing technologies

Well, you are not saying anything here. The sky is a big disappointment. Linux is a big disappointment. You're not really saying anything.
Windows Vista is, quite frankly, quite fantastic and will make many a computer owner quite happy. It comes with a host of new features .. perhaps not as many as originally planned .. but nevertheless, a whole bunch of new programs, updates to programs, schemes, new ways of doing things, a new browser, new media player [which many people think is really good], and so on. And it should computing "safer" - which is probably a good thing.
"Ease of use" should be improved significantly too in upcoming builds so ..
... so while you might be disappointed now, others will not be - not in the least - later.
