in Mojave Works for Consumers But Not Techies? on Bob Caswell
Sorry, but this post sounds like marketing copy. ..."I also work for Microsoft." -- at least there's disclosure.
A buddy of mine has had Vista for over a year, and STILL can't suspend/hibernate because of inadequate driver support for his NON-exotic hardware.
My brother has a laptop which came bundled with Vista, and I spent FAR TOO LONG trying to find the new locations for various settings when I was hooking up his WLAN (not to mention the STILL-insane reboot times, and -- hey, wait, we STILL have to reboot when changing some simple things? Argh!). Why move well-known locations of things? Oh right, because it has to appear that SOMETHING has changed to merit one's hard-earned dollars. :-b
Thanks, but I'm sticking with a combo of XP and *NIX-based systems.

Well, that didn't take long... I was wondering if I'd get the "but you work for Microsoft" rhetoric. All your points seem valid to me, b. But I actually switched to Vista because I wanted to (well before I started work at Microsoft, btw) and for lots of features that don't exist in XP.
I could go into detail, but what's the point? We both have anecdotal experiences that made us go different routes. The real point is that neither of us can say for sure that our experiences in the past are basis enough for what we think would be the experiences for anyone else now. And Microsoft pointed that out in its experiment.
