Sam Gentile has had it with Vista for the moment - but two of his complaints caught my eye:

  • File copies and moves are broken even to the internal hard drives taking minutes
  • File copies to a computer RIGHT NEXT to it over the network never complete and time out Publish

That reminded me of something Dvorak has been saying about Vista for awhile now - that Vista really needs one of the new hybrid drives (they have embedded flash drives to allow onboard cache operations). Now, I haven't so much as looked at Vista, so I don't really know - but it makes me wonder whether Microsoft might have jumped ahead of the required technology infrastructure by a year or two. The fact that Dell is back to offering XP as an option doesn't bode well, either.
