When it comes to reporting errors, especially with Vista, even the most advanced user is going to have some kind of problem with a fledgling operating system but when the error reporting service is flawed, something is very wrong at the company.

After almost a year since Windows Vista was released to businesses, its sales rate is gradually slowing down, according to Microsoft’s latest financial results.

While we have now far more advance operating system and CPU architectures, there are still cases in which advanced Vista-based PCs may produce glitches, especially when it comes to playing music, and Microsoft has now come up with a good explanation.

Those of you running Vista are probably sitting around wondering what you can do to make it perform better or do things you wish had been included with the operating system.  Some of those things can be done with TweakVI.

Windows XP users have to bite the bullet of yet another unpatched flaw present in Windows XP and Server 2003 with Internet Explorer 7 installed.

Microsoft just can’t seem to keep those darned updates from installing without administrator approval, in the latest occurrence, some Windows Server 2003 machines received and installed an update for Windows Desktop Search.

Since Microsoft missed the back to school and holiday season last year, it is hoping those two events have driven up Vista sales, this year as it would mark the first year that Vista was available during back to school and will be available for the holidays.

Microsoft is making another Vista push, not that its previous efforts have been all that successful but this time it is showing how Vista can defend users against more types of malware than XP can.

As if Vista didn’t have enough negative press already, Microsoft has confirmed that updating something as simple as your video card driver could cause the installed copy of Vista to deactivate and require revalidation.

For most people it is easy and convenient to blame Microsoft for all the software issues they might be experiencing which is not only wrong, it’s just not true.  Microsoft cannot be held responsible for all the third party providers dragging their feet or refusing to support old products on a new operating system.

Vista has been called slow, unreliable and even more unkind things have been said.  Vista isn’t that bad, yes, it has problems but it is not that bad when in the proper hands.

Criticism over Microsoft’s latest attempt at an operating system, Vista, has been insulted more times than perhaps even Windows ME was.  From bad driver support, though, that is improving to botched installations it never seems to end.

What’s the point of having a beautiful desktop background only to be ruined by the presence of unsightly icons and disorganized folders?  Put up with it no more, a free program will hide those icons so you can enjoy the beauty of your new or existing background.

In a bid to offer better look on the screen and on paper, Microsoft has updated its Web Core Fonts by unleashing 6 new web fonts during its Vista release early this year.

It seems more than a few people are fed up with Microsoft and are using the “blunder” that is Windows Vista to make the move over to a Mac.  Pre-orders for OSX Leopard are at an all time high for a Mac operating system.
