I hate Windows OS. I have used Windows 95, 98, XP, and Vista. The only decent one I used was Windows 95. I'm currently using Vista. I hate the fact that Windows doesn't make a version for the single home user, without having Administrator rights. This sucks. Always having to grant myself permission to perform a task. It won't even let me download software in with my program files. I get a message pop-up saying that I don't have permission. Yet, it doesn't allow me the option to grant myself permission, since I have administrator's rights. The new search utility sucks. I still can't figure out the indexing. I had to download a new search tool from a different source. I have permanently blocked startup programs that can't be unblocked. I could go on and on and write a book about all the problems. Since Microsoft has a monopoly on the market, you don't have a lot of choice on selecting a decent operating system. I would not want to have to read an entire manual to figure out how to use Linux. And MacIntosh is so expensive for their PCs. So we're stuck. Internet Explorer is another monopoly that needs to be eliminated. I currently use Firefox, because IE7 is so unstable on my new PC. I love Firefox. In addition, I hate the fact that many links automatically make my IE7 pop up, instead of Firefox. As far as I'm concerned, Microsoft Products are for the birds! Except for Microsoft Office products. I have to admit that they are pretty good.
