So I'm currently in the middle of a long-standing argument with my girlfriend about Vista and XP. She seems to take it as a personal sleight against her computer when I say I can't stand the damn new system, and hey, maybe I am a bit of a stick-in-the-mud, since it took me until about 2003 to switch from Windows 98. But XP seems like the most annoying OS I've used since whatever it was they had on very old Macs. Also I kind of think that she values my opinion less because I'm not as much of a techie - technically. She has her degree in the IT sector now, but I'm still working for one in arts and humanities. D:
People kind of touched on this in the browser thread, and I thought the responses were pretty interesting. I kind of want somebody just to hold my hand and say "You are right" or "You are wrong". And there must be some good features. Other than 'it is new'.
Cons: Holds your hand
Reorders folders in the most irritating way
That damn sidebar
Blocks a lot of things
Hard for non-techies to use? Obliterated my old flatmate's desktop as far as I can see.
Pros: Faster?
