#10) Is Anyone Listening: Wireless Carriers
#9) Sorry, We Already Gave: Office 2007
#8) Needs To Change Its Spots: Apple 'Leopard' OS 10.5
#7) Cannot Be Completed As Dialed: Voice Over IP
#6) Un-Neutral: The Broadband Industry (rhink Comcast)
#5) The Great, The Bad, The Ugly: Apple iPhone
#4) In A Sorry State: Yahoo

i dislike it (im not an xp fanboy, i use vista ecvery day and hate it)
reason i hate it so much is as everything is "fluffy", hard to use (old shortcut keys dont work and everything is moved) and is incompatible with a load of old software.
I do like its security features and ease of install though. I just dislike it as im a pro at xp but a total noob when it comes to vista.
If i grew up with vista then i would probably not complain about it but its too much of a jump from XP. Thats why ms baught out ME - to give people a stepping stone to go from 98 to XP because XP wasnt finished yet. They should have done that with vista, released XP Second Edition or something in like 2004/5 and then the full vista as we know it in 2006/7
MS really screwed up with XP. it was out too long. Thats why people complain about system requirements. Until XP it was common to upgrade your ram or pc every 2/3 years for a new version of vista. If xp wasnt out so damn long then people would right about now be running pcs capable of running vista well.
