Vista Bashing Now Has Economic Teeth

By Ron Schenone
Just when you think that the Vista bashing is beginning to settle down, up pops more bad news for Microsoft and their controversial operating system. But this time it is not the like it – hate it consumers who are mouthing off. …

NOTES….. If you have been a veteran XP Owner then you have ‘been around the bend’ with all the negative environment and even including the ‘dark side of the internet’. It is hard to crunch comments even as this one, and to flood over their floods – but the whole free speech crap became the internet. What ever happened to libel suits ? Bill Gates and Microsoft could double their income daily for all the libelous suits they could press beyond a simple User’s negative comments about a simple ‘newbie’ apparent temporary negative experience usually simply due to beginner’s ignorance or “operator error” (we all said “oh that’s how you do it” after cursing the PC to high heavens no doubt at some point – Operator Error)…. I am talking about those ‘in the know’ who do know better and make defamatory and libelous statements about a product that are untrue and have hurt income. Payment like that happens probably every day of the week in Courts worldwide. So what gives ? Why doesn’t Microsoft pursue this ?

 

Well, as I said it is too difficult to crunch this in one email but of course the “Negative Publicity” here is never welcome as untrue and injurious to the average consumer. So this above article is towards the other side and it is all too true in the business end. Very simply, I have an XP full of software. I purchased my Vista. There is no way in the world to transfer those to Vista – they are simply not going to run. This is what does not got mentioned enough for the average consumer towards the basic idea that ‘forget it’, you are never going to be able to transfer all software and files to the new Vista machine. Of course there are ways and upgrades to do a lot of it. It is simpler to just start all over again. But the consumer knows this. If you don’t know, you find out quick that you have to read the “System Requirements” simply meaning what Operating Systems (XP, Vista, etc.) the software works on. You see a great software and go to purchase it and check the System Requirements and too bad – it is not Vista compatible. That is understood or found out quick. Of course the XP years began with the whole all too familiar “check for the XP Logo” on all software before purchasing or decision to install.

 

So the whole point of this post is about businesses and the IT departments going crazy over Vista’s innovations and compatibility issues therein and the bottom line is with the new Vista system intentionally designed to run kind of as a User set up on XP without Administrator privileges and is the whole UAC (User Account Control) idea basically. But Microsoft clearly said this is all quite intentional and the point was that virtually all softwares of consequence did need the Administrator account user to install and set up and use the product.

 

Now the disturbing observation is with all these online publications from respected Editors and Staff writers and on and on – don’t they realize that Microsoft OBVIOUSLY knew the release of Vista was never going to be able to be mass deployed in the business end without major reinvestment and even the endless wait for software vendors to release upgrades ? Then it goes that Microsoft knew that Vista was not going to sell like wildfire OBVIOUSLY because there was no way they could use it obviously. Then why did Microsoft create the product knowing it would not sell and while the dark side negative publicity had a field day screaming “Micro$oft, Micro$oft, Micro$oft” these money hungry bastards Micro$oft, Micro$oft, Micro$oft” ???

 

I think it’s pretty obvious and is the REAL best kept secret about Vista. It was the mercy and pity of Microsoft for the average consumer with statistics of at least 45 Billion dollars annually and up to 4 percent of the population lost in ID Theft becoming those “non persons” in the financial nightmare caused by cyber criminal crimeware that became known as “spyware”. These stats are just America and add the rest of the world’s victims online. In phisher emails alone in 2007, Americans got taken for 3.25 Billion and because we all know they were using Internet Explorer Version 6 SP2 or lesser – listening to these idiots of “negative publicity” in that debacle of their advice “Don’t install IE 7 with the new anti-phisher technologies because it slows down everything terribly bad”…. which was nothing further from the truth and would have saved consumers literally billions ! Other polls revealed at least over 45 to 50 percent of average users thought they were protected is using free version antivirus and antispyware programs and scanned maybe once a year even – with no real time protection activated by paid subscription.

 

So my whole intent of this post is that the best kept secret about Vista has become known to the cyber criminal underground – Vista stops them right out of the box and there is the other point to support my comments – Windows Defender antispyware created and made free by, uhm-uhmm – Micro$oft. These same negative publicity idiots scream about Microsoft being profit driven scum taking full advantage of the public and then — there you are in a security software multi billion dollar industry suddenly Microsoft creates and releases free to the public the now famous free Microsoft Windows Defender. Why do they decline the mega profit they could make by selling it ? Of course dark world will tell you because it’s a piece of crap and we all know the statistics released by the Microsoft Free Malicious Software Removal Tool and they forgot that all their in the wild threats from the past three “zero day” exploits (WMF metafile, VML, .ANI Cursor) were detected and don’t you A-Holes realize they became definitions removal signatures right in Windows Defender antispyware ? Right, open mouth insert foot. How about all the fake codecs malware threats ? Uh-huh, right in Windows Defender and see Smitfraud for another reference. Windows Defender has consistently been ahead of the industry even many times in new “in the wild threats” and see their online threats database Microsoft Malware Protection Center<http://wwwmicrosoft.com/security/portal/default.aspx> — if your threat is listed there as your funky little crimeware package you been trying to rip off the unknowing public then it is removed by “crap” like Windows Defender. Uh-huh.

 

So recap…. rants and raves about Vista runs nothing known to XP and businesses can’t afford everything shut down almost like a power failure in deploying Vista on the enterprise level and G-damn Vista and Micro$oft and on and on. So why did Microsoft release Vista KNOWING all this ? There you are. A “hail Mary” security product itself in reality being an actual computer disk operating system – serving, itself being an OS (Operating System), serving as a simple antispyware software for 30 dollars blocking crimeware. Why did Microsoft release Vista ? Why – who did it benefit beyond all the negative publicity ? The average consumer like me… the only people not having any problems with it at all as it performs wonderfully beyond expectations and IS the new latest “state of the art” computing experience. Don’t you think ?

 

We are the “I LOVE my NEW Vista crowd” and damned proud of our own intelligent informed choice to purchase !!! – and that protected. The first true out of the box safe PC ! Marvelous invention…. and you are ? who ? what ?
