Day 18, And Unforseen End

Before this debacle even started I was wondering if I could last the entire 30 days, but as it turns out, Vista couldn’t. This morning I awoke my computer from ’sleep’ mode only to be greeted with yet another Blue Screen of Death. I was used to this by now, so I proceeded with my usual BSoD ritual of: restart, cup of tea. Upon my return I see another BSoD. So this time, I stay to watch the restart. And it gets as far as flashing the Windows logo, then it appears. The Blue Screen of Death.

This why I am announcing an end to Vista 4 30. I no longer have a Windows Vista install DVD, and don’t intend to acquire one in the foreseeable future.

I’d like to end with a suitable conclusion. It’s ‘user friendliness’ is completely hopeless, as it is just removing basic functionality. It can’t do even the most basic of tasks without some sort of problem arising. It keeps on doing stuff without my say so. All of a sudden it may decide to change some sort of non-human readable config file, and restart itself. The UAC is without hope, it fails in every aspect of its existence. Windows Vista is highly unstable, and unsuitable for any use whatsoever.

With that I bid you all farewell, and good luck to all you Vista users.
