Vista is functionally terrible (Score 1)

I am an IT manager for a local moving company and have been in the computer\networking fields for 26 years. I installed Vista Ultimate on both my home PC's and my work Admin machine, keeping an open mind, of course. I have found that Vista is terribly slow opening networked files and is slower than XP in just about every aspect. As far as Office 2007 is concerned, the "ribbon" is just a pain in the a** and is confusing for my users. WHY does Microsoft continually try to make thigs more "secure" and "easier" for the computer illiterate by making things so difficult for those that are experienced? Needless to say I have uninstalled Vista on ALL my machines and Office 2007 as well. XP and Office 2003 are perfect in every way that I need them to be.... 'nuff said...
