The Story of a Patient Windows Vista User

Peter Griffin has been patient with Windows Vista which comes after he decided to purchase a Windows based computer worth $2599 instead of going for a MacBook because he feels Windows Vista has a better value proposition — I have long decided it was better and for a very, very long time.

Anyway, Peter went through so many problems with his gadgets and drivers during his first time around with Windows Vista; but after the release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1, he started to have a cool relationship with the operating system.

In an excerpt: Since then, Microsoft has released an upgrade for Vista – Service Pack 1 – and more drivers are available. A first big test went well – I plugged in my USB hub and within a couple of minutes, Vista identified them, found the drivers and they ran.

Vista runs smoothly thanks to the surplus of memory I now have. If I do my share of the housework it will be a match made in heaven. Microsoft has had a rough year with Vista and just as it appears to be putting some of the major issues behind it, it faces comparisons with Apple’s new Mac OS Leopard.
