5 Things I hate about Vista
Microsoft have recently announced its new OS, the highly we’ve-been-waiting-for Vista. While it looks splendid and very Web 2.0-ish, it is another money-sucking phenomenon from the Bill Gates empire. Through certain ‘behind the curtains’ deals with vendors and dealers Microsoft will soon make billions of bucks on selling the castrated Vista Home Basic. Below are five reasons I think Windows Vista should be hated for and I believe you’ll share ‘em!
Vista Hate Reason One – No Break-Through. While Microsoft pretends Vista is the absolutely new and next generation product, that’s bullshit. Nothing has changed on macro level. It is still Windows, and traditionally it takes loads of time to get used to all the ‘innovations’ the Gates-empire eggheads have implemented into their latest offspring.
Vista Hate Reason Two – ResourceZilla. When I first read about the true requirements for Vista working fine I could hardly keep my mouth shut. Ok-ok, those who’ll use the highly-limited Home Basic version will do with 800MHz or faster processor, more than 512MB of RAM, at least 15GB of available hard drive space, an 800 x 600 SVGA monitor, and a CD-ROM drive. But those who are lucky enough to purchase Home Premium, Business or Ultimate edition… guys, please keep your purse open, you’ll need a serious PC. The more powerful – the better.
Vista Hate Reason Three – Get Less. Most of the vendors will sell their PCs with Vista by installing the cheapest Home Basic edition. It’s understandable – they want to save money and charging another $40 for a better version will keep their customers away. People who buy PCs with the Home Basic Vista think they get the latest piece of art from Microsoft. But they get the version where hundreds of features are simply disabled. Upgrading BTW costs a lot and not recommended.
Vista Hate Reason Four – How Much?! The prices seem to be the absolute nonsence. This nonsence is tragic however, because millions of customers are bound to pay for Vista while purchasing a new PC. Many of them will be dissapointed to find out they can’t enjoy the whole potential of the new OS (not much enjoyable there, he-he) and will want to upgrade. Read above – Microsoft’s idiotic policy considering upgrades is already a legend.
Vista Hate Reason Five – It’s Microsoft. For many this one reason is enough to hate Vista. Microsoft is the undoubted leader of the software industry, but one can talk hours about all the bugs and glitches all Microsoft products have. Vista is no exception. Microsoft will publish service packs (what a great reason for advertising, PR and extra money for the upgraders), downloadable patches etc. That’s marketing and pire business.

I hate communism
I hate communism. I hate it for many reasons. First and foremost, I hate any form of government that involves huge emphasis on authority figures. Why should we all be treated like little children by the government? We should be able to make our own decisions and have freedom of speech amongst other civil rights.
Second, I hate the way that communism essentially penalizes the honest, moral hard-working people who work really hard, just to make the same pay as the slackers and end up picking up the slack for the majority of the group that are slackers. The equal pay and guaranteed social “benefits” encourages lazy people to not work as hard, or to not work at all. That is not fair to the people who work really hard.
I also hate communism because the government runs everything, which does not allow for competition. Thankfully my country of the USA is not communist, but some of the changes occurring as a result of the Bush administration reek of slight comminism and I hate that!
For example, the government telling small bar businesses that they are not allowed to let us smoke in their bars; or the state government of Massachusetts mandating that all people MUST obtain health insurance, essentially forcing the people who do not receive employee health benefits to dish out money for an individual plan. I hate any kind of strong authoritative government! Let us be! US free and democratic!
