Windows then and now – the regressive evolution

Nicolas Galler | January 21, 2008

10 years ago I had to reboot from Linux (Slackware) to Windows 98 in order to use my printer.
5 years ago I had to reboot from Linux (Debian) to Windows XP in order to play games.
Now? I have to reboot from Windows Vista to Linux (Ubuntu) in order to use my scanner.

I am not bitter, really – just amused! And I can’t wait for Vista SP1 to (well, hopefully) bring back some of the usability.

Update: Yes after installing SP1 my #1 problem (the horribly slow file transfers) has been resolved, so I am now back on Vista.
