where is the "WOW" claimed by Microsoft?

Please go to http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,140583-page,5-c,techindustrytrends/article.html and see what pcworld.com thinks bout the "WOW!" that Microsoft promised.
I fully agree with pcworld.com that Microsoft did not do it's best after spending more than 6 years developing the so called "WOW" operating system. It is not that Microsoft Vista sucks, but it's just that it does not meet many end user's expectation.

Quote:
We have no doubt Vista will come to dominate the PC landscape, if only because it will become increasingly hard to buy a new machine that doesn't have it pre-installed. And that's disappointing in its own right.

Many maybe asking, why is Microsoft making big bucks and spoiling the market of OS's? The reasons is simply because many big vendors of computer are packaging this lousy operating system into their machine. User who buys this machine do not try other operating system instead they continue to use this pre-installed Vista.

If you are aware, recently Microsoft has been slap with many fines and getting sued for being anti-competitive. It seems that Microsoft is going to be in the danger zone with other operating system like the open-source Linux is rising.

After getting to use the full version of Windows Vista Business edition with Aero on. I find that windows vista is not as good as what i expected earlier. Thought user account control could be switched off but it still comes by default. I find that this such features that prompt you every time user wants to change setting is ridiculous, unnecessary and also very irritating. Why would a user who pay hundreds for this operating system wants such a crap that ask permission for every setting that you wants to change?

Well, this year as a Head of Activity of Computer Club of SMKTC, i hope to organise some sessions on teaching students Linux(and open source) and exposed them to the world of operating systems.
