When you think of Microsoft what is the first thing that pops into your head? Are they all negative thoughts? Are you one of the millions of users who always has problems with the products that they make? Now think of one of the worst programs that they have made recently. Does Windows Vista come to mind? You are not alone in this thinking.

Ever since its conception consumers have been complaining about the problems that it has. This and the fact that Microsoft has never gotten around to truly working out these problems is enough to throw some people over the edge and into a complete frenzy.

Right now I have a computer that uses Windows Vista and have not had any problems – but it took me awhile to warm up to it. Last year I bought a brand new desktop. This new computer had Vista programmed right into it and there was nothing I could do about it.

At first it impressed me. The graphics were amazing and the layout was smooth. The first negative I spotted was the nagging! It’s one thing to have your partner nagging at you all day to pick up after yourself or not too forget to take out the garbage. But for your computer to nag as well? That’s just downright annoying.

It seemed that every move I made was analyzed by the program and had to make sure that I really wanted to go through with it. This is a protection measure that Microsoft thought people would love. It turned out to be one of the things that people hated most about it. Other problems existed in the specially designed driver that Microsoft thought would work well with the operating system. But this became another problem for millions of users. That and the applications were not all able to work the way they should.

It is true that some things about Vista have been fixed – but there are still Vista problems that people have. Yet, that doesn’t always stop them from buying it. In fact I think over time Vista has become more popular. I suppose we all love a little trouble and danger.
