Marsha's Musings: Windows Vista

Do any of you have Windows Vista? Are you happy with it? So far I have yet to find anybody who is really happy with Vista. I borrowed my husband's computer today and was frustrated to no end with it. My post on Celiac took me twice as much time to type up and post on his computer because I'd be typing along and all the sudden the insertion point would jump somewhere in the middle of the post and start typing there. It just pretty much would type where ever it pleased at any moment without any warning. Then it decided to highlight and delete one of my sentences. I typed that sentence three times over because three times it highlighted and deleted it as soon as I finished it. I honestly almost gave up because I didn't think I would ever get that sentence typed to stay.

My husband says he hears a lot of people have the same issues with Vista. Do you? It seems like it would be a nightmare for a secretary that is trying to take dictation. I'd be in tears if I to use Vista on the job.

I have been using Vista for about a year because it was what was on my laptop when I bought it. I have gotten used to it. My only real frustration is the incompatibility with software that I love. So many things do not work with it. Vista does not play well with the other children.

I am so sorry you had such a hard time.
