Dale Carnegie never used Vista.

Dear Sir:
I wish to express my most sincere admiration of your company's business leadership over the years and its continued relevance in all matters of public life.
I am especially fond of your Windows XP product, as its ease of use and popularity are unparalleled. It was very generous of you to trust your users to do the right thing when it comes to multimedia copyright.
Your Windows Vista product also shows a lot of promise and I'm sure your company's renewed emphasis on security and stability is appreciated by many.
I can't wait to see what you will come up with next!

Criticizing vista is generally little other than an exercise of complaining, whining, etc. Microsoft most likely does not hear the majority of it, and therefore cannot do anything about it. You cannot do anything about vista's poor qualities other than not use it.
Criticism is only truly useful when it can have a positive impact.
Imagine saying, I don't think it should have rained today. Although phrased as a criticism, there is no possible good change that can come from that statement. Therefore, it is simply a complaint.
Truly, however, criticizing vista in the proper venues and at times where some good can come of it could be constructive, generally, however, it is as useful as criticizing god for the weather. If you want it different, go elsewhere.
Have you ever tried it? I have. I had to go back to XP because I had so much commercial software that would not run on Vista. Good luck finding a new laptop with XP in your local Office Depot.
Criticism is only truly useful when it can have a positive impact.
Agreed. To anyone reading this: Don't get Vista. It's garbage. There. I just gave positive impact. I potentially saved many strangers a lot of unnecessary pain.
If you want it different, go elsewhere.
Where have you been the last 20 years? If you have commercial or enterprise customers, there is no elsewhere.
Yes I've used vista, only moderately, someone wanted a new computer and even though I advised against vista, they bought it anyways.
most likely everyone here knows vista's garbage. providing the same criticism repeatedly is generally futile. If you didn't get through the last few times, what makes you think it'll change now.
