My boss bought an HP tablet laptop. He's not very computer savvy so he wanted me to get it up and running with his Airport Base Station he bought because of me.
1st off I felt naked inside Vista. I have no clue where anything is. I'm so used to OS X after just 1 year I felt out of place in another world if you will.
The HP itself is cheaply made garbage. It's cheap plastic yells fisher price, it's monitor wiggles back and forth and opens with a huge amount of friction, the stupid thing sounds like a dishwasher while it's running it's so loud. Windows take several minutes to boot up. The "aero" effects look horrible. The jumpy low frame rate effects are very ugly to watch. It has so many 3rd party trash programs installed it's barely usable. That Mac add with the "Cancel or Allow" conversation is NO exaggeration. Every time you click something the pesky OS asks "Is this what you want? Are you sure? Warning! Opening the program you just clicked on! Accessing Files! Blah Blah"
I couldn't get it to install drivers for his Epson printer. I had no problem with his wife's iMac in the same room. Also I can't get it to see the shared HD on the USB Airport Base Station port.
I suppose ignorance is bliss. I had no clue how utterly repulsive windows is to use before I switched to Mac. I don't even have boot camp on anymore as there is no reason I need it.
Anyone who has to use vista on a regular basis I feel sorry for. I wanted to through the blasted hunk of plastic out the window after 1 hour.
