Vista users are confused because of the lack of drivers

In the Mac commercial on an American television program, a worried PC told Apple: ' I am about to upgrade to Windows Vista, but do not understand when it will fit in with my internal components. '.

Since the new generation Windows appeared on January 30, 2007, Microsoft has received many complaints. His BBC advises readers to "wait another half year until the driver problem (driver) is fixed", while CNN (US) also said that "this is not the right time for Vista" .

The blogosphere is no more 'benevolent'. One can read countless articles of whining about the lengthy installation process, the lack of drivers, software that often has problems and security tools that are not really excellent.

For example, the GeForce 8800 chip supports the DirectX 10 interface in Vista, but Nvidia has not yet released the driver at the end of February as expected. The website of the world's leading graphics chip maker has provided test drivers. But experts warned that the beta is always buggy and can cause data loss.

Blogger Chris Pirillo in Seattle (USA) has listed a number of problems he encountered with Vista such as the erratic Windows Movie Maker program, Explorer setting mechanism disappears and fax software does not cooperate with the operating system. new. Pirillo decided to return to Windows XP and vowed not to install Vista anymore.

However, expert Martin Gilliland of research firm Gartner said: ' Microsoft has never tried to hide or avoid the truth. If you want the program to work smoothly, you must upgrade the hardware . '

In addition, a permanent problem with Microsoft's operating system is security. The vulnerability has been discovered in the voice recognition software and in Vista's User Account Control feature. Furthermore, Vista does not provide access to all directories for many antivirus programs, making those tools unable to complete their tasks.

Overall, there are not many major problems with Vista, but Peter Knaak, a computer expert at Stiftung Warentest in Berlin, said users should wait for Microsoft to release a new Service Pack 1. switch to the new operating system.

Gartner predicts that by 2010, about 72% of computers worldwide will be equipped with Vista, 7% - 10% loyal to Apple Mac, 3% use Linux and the rest will continue to use Windows XP.
