			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had the misfortune of working with Windows Vista this weekend. Let me just say, I’m a tech kind of guy. I started doing desktop support in 96, dealing with DOS, Windows 3.11, Windows 95 and Windows NT4. Later, that support would include Windows 98, ME, 2K, XP, 2K Server and 2K3 Server. Needless to say, I have lots of experience working with and supporting Windows desktops and applications.  Having said that, since switching to a Mac exclusively 4 years ago, I have not had a need to keep up on what is happening in the Windows world.  Sure, I work on Windows XP all day at work, but nothing prepared me for the horror that was my Vista experience on Sunday.</p>
<p>Like the rest of you, I’d heard the horror stories.  Mostly I just thought it was a poor GUI design and inexperienced users.  However, after wasting over an hour trying to get a brand new laptop to connect to a wireless network, that my iPhone connected to in under a minute, I’m no longer blaming it on users. Vista is without a doubt the worst user experience I have ever had.  There is not a single thing I can say about it in a positive light. </p>
<p>Here’s an idea, lets take everything that has ever worked in Windows and change it. Lets move the Add/Remove Programs. Lets not give the user the option to turn off the all the annoying, in your face, childish GUI interfaces.  My 3 year old could have come up with a better user interface. I won’t even go into how much they tried to steal from Apple and failed at. Oh yeah, what the fuck is up with the big damn clock. Welcome to the 21st century, if I wanted ticking hands on my desktop, I’d be using an analog watch.</p>
<p>I’ve seen Windows 7, and though it doesn’t impress me much, especially since it’s a rip off of OS X a few years back, anything would be better than the Vista experience I just had. Once again, way to set the bar super low, Microsoft. Hey, at least it was cracked in under 15 minutes like their crappy mobile DRM.</p>
