October 22, 2009 is a day that will go down in history for computer users around the world. On this day, Microsoft released their newest version of Microsoft Windows. However fear of using the capitalistic monopolistic product still remains in some people’s minds as Vista was something that just sucked up resources and spat them on the ground for the user to somehow admire. What was it exactly that Vista even brought to the people besides Aero, UAC and several different versions of Windows that users would have to contemplate getting because they might be missing out on features with one product over another. It brought a whole world of confusion to the average computer user and a whole world of hurt for those who could not afford to build or purchase a computer that was efficient enough to run Vista.
Speaking of efficiency and being green, I am pretty sure this is not what Microsoft had in mind with Windows Vista, as it just continually sucked up resources and aided computer companies and hardware manufactures in making faster processors and larger sticks of memory with even faster memory speeds. What exactly happened to the old DDR standard, or the DDR 2 Standard or the old Pentium 4 I had lying around. They became obsolete as they no longer seemed to keep up with Windows Vista (ok so maybe not DDR 2). I am not saying change is a bad thing, but as landfills begin to fill with our old computer hardware, who is to blame for this problem? MICROSOFT, anytime Microsoft wants to make a buck they release a new Operating System to try to appease the masses; however this was a total failure with Vista. Ok, yes people bought into this scam of an operating system but so many were displeased with it and went back to XP which was practically a Millennia type of Operating System. Something that was older, but just worked for most of everyone! Even Microsoft had to extend the length of time for Windows Updates to be available to Windows XP as a massive amount of people never changed over to Vista (ok, so fine change is a bad thing, at least when it comes to your operating system). However Microsoft has been working hard to make some change to make life easier with a transition to a new operating system!

Great article Genaveve.
I look forward to the next part regarding Windows 7 installation as i have just purchased a retail Windows 7 Premium from work on a staff discount
All i need now is a new HDD and i’ll be ready to go.
