Just into a few days after installing a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium for my new MacBook, I discovered from Gizmodo that PC World had name the software created by Microsoft as the Biggest Tech Disappointments of 2007 from a list of 15. Talk about a kick in the head eh? But hey, before you say “I told you so” and ramble on about how I should have listen to you in the first place, yeah…I know…the software is pretty screwed up now and super resource sucking.
Honestly in my humble opinion, I think I’m doing fine and yet to have any qualms with Microsoft Vista. I love the interface, the way the download speed boosts up while logging on to the internet and those tiny little things that makes me go “wah so cute” or “wah so smart” amongst other improvements. Powering up my Vista on a MacBook has never been sweeter, especially when its tricked out with 2gb ram and a mighty mouse. I mean it works perfectly (for now) and the fastest notebook to run a Vista was once an Apple MacBook (MacBook Pro anyways). So I guess I have not felt the pain…yet 
.
So anyhoo, while reading the article on the 15 most disappointing tech stuffs by PC World, I couldn’t help but noticed that Microsoft has three products in the list. Apart from Vista which ranked at no. 1, the Microsoft Zune is at 11 and the office 2007 at 9. If that doesn’t surprise you, what about the Apple “Leopard” OS 10.5 chilling at no. 8 (worse off than the Office 2007) and the iPhone..yes the iPhone at no. 5? Ever wonder how the writer derive to the conclusion?
Disappointing? Nah-ah…not to me
Eitherway, I seriously hope I am not losing out with the MacBook. I mean both the OSs are among the 15, but I guess it is a matter of opinion. Having said that, the things I do with my computer these days do not require a ton of resources. One factor leading to that could be that I stopped playing computer games seriously. Just run some big graphics, blog, surf and other stuffs. So from my current usage status, I think I’m good, just make the best of what I have eh?
