  The Dark Side of Windows Vista RC1
Time: 00:02 EST/05:02 GMT | News Source: SuperSite for Windows | Posted By: Michael Dragone

You see, Windows Vista isn't perfect. It's not even close to perfect. It's better than Windows XP is, of course, but it damn well should be: It benefits from five more years of experience and work. Being better is the minimum requirement. Whether Vista is enough of an improvement over XP to warrant your hard earned money is a subject I'm saving for my eventual review of the final shipping version of the product, but I'll give you a bit of preview now and say the answer may surprise you. In the meantime, let's harp a bit on the things I don't like about Vista as it now stands in RC1 form.

EXACTLY! Finally, a few people are starting to spend some time with RC1 and speak about the issues I have been raising. The UI is as I have said, like a gilr you really like that for some reason you can't explain, just bugs the life out of you..."

"It's consistency, stupid!" That is what comes to mind in window after window and feature after feature... Like some classes date that just can't dress themselves.

On top of this is what one can feel - I mean, a really gorgeous OS underneath - RC1 simply hauls the mail - so damn fast, Aero and all - smoking fast - even on a laptop.

Back to the mess...

I have spent the last 70 hours or so in a continuous exploration of RC1. A nearly sleepless effort to find and explore every click and every feature... The inconsistencies are staggering.

I can see the intent - which was so good, but the execution has been just dreadful. I have been just as responsible for building messes, too - I know what it is like to work your guts out on a software project and watch people grind themselves up. Grant it, our projects are puny by comparison, but so are our resources. Using this epxerience, I know what it is like to dig in, work even harder and ensure the software ships. One think I learned over and over is that no matter what, what one does ship had better be 100% consistent. I am a fanatic about it and we'll spend weeks on the smallest of details - all to ensure that the software is entirely consistent. The same is true of our hardware - every wire had better be in exactly the right place or there is hell to pay.

What bugs me so badly about Vista is that Microsoft has had enough time - enough people and certainly enough money to ensure that Vista is consistent - it isn't. The quality just is not there in the UI.

Qaulity is there in spades in the underlying bits. Vista performs every task so well and so quickly - VPN, network, printing, IIS.... underneath it moves.

The UI's object model hauls, too - ultra fast. However, the UI itself is so bad that i just can't get past it. It's a mess. I do reason that there is no excuse at all. None. Not given the time they have had and the resources they have.

This UI is going to enrage people - of all types. It's still a lot better than OSX, which is no high-water mark by any means, but it is not of the qaulity that it should be.

Many good points are made. Likely MS will not polish Vista to the point of not being annoying or having some stupid designs (XP has you click APPLY and then OK in some cases to make a change). OS X has its annoying quirks but fewer of them. The worst is having to click again after shuting down, or wait two minutes to see it actually turn off. Huh? By default Off should mean Off. But even so, OS X makes XP and Vista look rough by comparison as long as you use a 2 buttom scroll mouse. Hopefully, MS will tweak the ease of use of Vista by SP1. History dictates otherwise. MS believes that what they release is always good enough for the masses.

I hope I live to see an OS that is sleek and does what I want quickly and easily. Wait, many current Linux releases do that. I can rest in peace.

#2: Everything has its problems in one form or another. I was one of the many who were bitten by that Ubuntu update that borked X last week. That was a process error that hopefully won't be repeated.

Great Article. blog post ! I am thankful for the details ! Does anyone know where I can get ahold of a blank Canada RC1 example to work with ?
