Windows Vista Hell is it Over?

There was a time about a year ago when I went into Best Buy, my expectations through the rough.
It was nearly a decade after buying my first computer, a 1999 Compaq, and I was tired of the constant lagging, the inexplicable slowness and the overall evil that was AOL. It was a momentous day in my life, for I was going to take the plunge and finally buy a new computer. With several paychecks meticulously saved, I went into Best Buy wanting nothing but the absolute best in home computer quality.

I combed through the aisles of the PC s, slowly looking through every product available. At the time, a MAC was foreign too me and frankly, harder to use than a do it yourself lobotomy. I finally settled on a sharp looking Dell that looked seductive and sultry, the computer basically begged me to take it home. I pulled out my credit card, drove as quick as I could home and immediately set that sucker up.

I ripped through the packaging and finally started to plug it in and operate it. I soon realized something very different; this was no longer the computer I knew, this was, Vista? I had upgraded through the years on the old 99 Compaq, eventually settling on Windows XP in about 2002. When the moment finally arrived for me to feast on the computer and cruise the internet, I could not. Windows Vista is like taking something so incredibly good, so exquisite, so irreplaceable and then taking a baseball bat and smashing it to pieces.
