I know people that have used Vista and switched back to XP. It still has a lot of bugs in it. Microsoft also put that authentification program in its 2007 Office Suite. However, I really do like the new version of Office.
Microsoft Vista at the Front Desk?
Front Desk Operations
Is anyone using Microsoft Windows Vista on front desk or office computers? Any issues with it? I've heard that it can be buggy...
I also just read that Vista has (or had) a kill switch on it that apparently allowed MS to automatically lock users out of their files.
When you install Vista, Microsoft claims that you consent to being spied upon, through the "Windows Genuine Advantage" system. This system tries to identify instances of copying that Microsoft thinks are illegitimate. This system includes a "kill switch" which allows Microsoft to remotely deactivate your copy of Vista. This deactivation, whether deliberate or by accident -- as has been the case in some 500,000 cases already according to a study last year -- locks you out of your computer, and forces you to contact Microsoft to get access to your files.
