Oh, Vista. How I’ve had it up to here (hand over head) with you. I’m so bloody tired and worn out trying to get this relationship to work. But it’s obviously one-sided. And you know what? I’m sick of being the one trying to make it work between us.
You’re like a big baby. I have to be taking care of you all the time. When we got together for the first time in April ‘07 I was actually giddy. You know me, I’m somewhat of a tech dork / girl. I thought “Oh my God, I have Vista on my notebook!” You were the cute new guy down the street most of us didn’t hate yet and were willing to flirt with you.
You were hot, with your awesome Aero look. And you were fresh, for some reason your parents (Microsoft) decided to rename a bunch of your folders and things and I thought “Well, sure. What OS doesn’t do a few name changes?” But you also had an attitude problem. Maybe I’m attracted to rebels? Not. You pissed me off from the beginning, not getting along with other programs. But I was blind and said “Hey, it’s my baby, okay? So he’s a little mean.”
You worked well with other programs thankfully after months. So I was relieved. But I also noticed I had to regularly clean out my closet because you kept storing so much crap (aka the damn shadow cache thing you have, you ate all my memory very quickly). So I had to keep reinstalling you until I figured out the problem. Thus banning you from storing your crap in my closets ever again (turning shadow cache off / system restore).
Things started to go really hazy between the two of us when you couldn’t even sleep well. You were paranoid and often “Blue Screen of Death”ed me after putting you to sleep or closing your case. You’re housed in a notebook. A notebook! How can you not go to sleep correctly?! That’s when the babying all began.
I gave you a wonderful firewall, wonderful antivirus, regularly scan you for adware and yet you decide to spit in my face and be all “I don’t need that” and get viruses anyway. I know you have a virus at the moment and I don’t give enough of a crap about you anymore to fix it. I really don’t. You’ve been one big problem after the other and I’m so tired of you.
I tried to cheat on you with Ubuntu (a distribution of Linux) but Ubuntu wouldn’t have it. Ubuntu wouldn’t work well with the sound card, maybe he felt bad for you. But there you have it, I’ve had a little fling with Ubuntu. I still much rather prefer Ubuntu’s company over yours any day of the week.
I know you’re insanely jealous too. With good reason, because everyone out there is better than you. Your older brother XP is better than you. Just about any distribution of Linux is better than you. BSD kicks your ass. OS X used to steal your lunch money and now he’s back to kick you in the groin.
But don’t fear, dear Vista. Don’t fear. When I get an iMac and hook up with OS X Leopard, I’m dumping your ass.
Love,
The crazy girl who’s pretending to write to an OS,
Munin

PS: When Parallels is installed on the iMac, I’m using XP to run Windows programs. Not Vista.
So sorry.

Hahahaha! This entry made me laugh! Love the “Blue Screen of Death”ed part. Hopefully you get that iMac soon.
I also use Vista occasionally and I’m pretty ticked off by it. Glad his older brother, XP’s with me too. I’m cheating on him but I have no regrets. At all.

Wow Vista personified. I thoroughly enjoyed reading that.
I use XP thankfully. Sure he’s not as attractive as Vista, but I gave him a make over by downloading visual styles and cursors I like. I even gave it a Vista log on style. By the way, I named him Edward, Edward Elric…errr my laptop that is, and with his make over, he’s become quite attractive…almost as attractive as Edward himself XD
Wow iMac sure is hot ^_~* I hope you get him soon, and dump Vista for good!
