Quote: "My VP of ecommerce insisted on having vista on all our laptops when it came out. I'm like, hey look guy, I can't run eclipse through a vm on a vista laptop with only 2gb of ram.
I'm sure we can all agree though that ME was by far the worst"
I was lucky to have not experienced ME then.
Also, where I work decided to all upgrade to Windows 7, which is nice and everything is lot more responsive, problem #1 is that the database system we use was designed for older versions of IE and compatibility mode, whilst it helps a lot, it is not without its flaws. Problem #2, for quite some time it was incompatible with a software system used to aid customers. But it now works with the new updated version.
By contrast, where I worked before that, they were still on MSDOS, the manager had a very "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of attitude. This day and age we don't appreciate exactly how much customer data can be squeezed onto a single floppy disk. I suppose it's a fair attitude, never had the system crash on me, where I work now, it occasionally happens.
