This user complain was published at Tech2: Janak Mehta, Project Manager with, Adweb Tech Trade has been using Vista for the past four months now, as his notebook was bundled with the Windows Vista Professional Edition. He says, “It has been crashing ever since I have been on it and keeps asking silly questions, consuming my time.”
Well, come to think of it most great grand fathers would blame the typewriter as the culprit for their unproductive hours insisting that their pen and paper could do the job. An old business man I knew would argue that keeping a log book with hundreds of pages of financial journal entries every month was more productive and faster than entering the values in quickbooks.
I am using Windows Vista for months and have been extremely happy with it.
My daily usage includes running four virtualized environments (Active Directory (DC), SQL Server (DB), SharePoint Server, Staging Environment) plus my host Windows Vista with Visual Studio 2005, Office 2007, ton loads of .NET development tool applications and project management apps, reports, etc. Sometimes at home, I would take a break and even run Warcraft III Frozen Throne while all these apps are running and still enjoy unbelievable stability with the operating system. My windows XP would crash with just two virtualized environments when running a computer game.
I have no idea what mega and ultra application a project manager such as Janak is running on
his laptop that makes his life difficult on Windows Vista — probably some Ms Project and stuff.
