Vista Makes Me Cranky

I had a chance to sit down and look at Microsoft’s new Vista operating system yesterday. I have nothing to say about the technology itself, but I realized that Vista makes me cranky.

First, I do not want to buy a new machine or upgrade an old one to be able to run Vista. I want to install Vista as a Virtual machine under the terms of the current license. I hate the Windows authentication feature – my laptop, which has a licensed copy of Windows on it, failed authentication.

I have just realized that my feelings about Windows are not even rational any more. I am just cranky, and I will find fault with any part of the OS. How did I get this way?
