Goodbye Vista, I hardly knew you at all

August 7, 2008

After having given Vista a crack (and I mean a whole year of it), I have finally given up and removed it from Bootcamp on my MacBook. I have gone back to using Windows XP in VMWare. Simply put, it was just impossible to work in it. The whole thing where the active window freezes for minutes at a time and gives me the dreaded [Not Responding] message was just too damned annoying.

Now I delight in the fact that my XP virtual machine running in 2GB of virtual ram is at least twice as fast as Vista was with 3GB on real hardware. Farewell Microsoft Fista, you worthless piece of sh!t operating system.
