This was exactly what we saw when we powered up this sony vaio TZ $5000 dollar laptop running on vista.
We where powering up this client’s laptop on this rather beautiful machine expecting it to boot in a second into its operating system.
But it didn’t, In fact we where treated with a vista loading screen that took a whole minute or 2 what happen next is a completely BLACK SCREEN for 20 seconds to 30 seconds.
Me and my engineer was staring at this $5000 machine and this is our exact conversation.
Me: Hey what happen??
Engineer: It went to sleep mode?
Me: Can’t be the power indicator still on and it was booting a while ago?
Engineer: (Action) hit the enter button x 2 (Action) hit the space bar x4 (Action) hit the enter button x 3
Me: wooo.. what the!?!? (Action) hit the enter button x 8
Suddenly a small puny “vista” cursor appeared and it continue take a whole 2 minutes to completely load into the operating system.
Me: (Action)looked my engineer
Me: My goodness!! what kinda loading screen is that?!
Engineer: So this is what $5000 feels like?
Me and Engineer: (Action) Burst into laughter
What can i say, Vista has ruin this $5000 piece of hardware. its like having a elegantly presented tiramisu desert slapped with a piece of lard.
Redmond, you really have to buck up. In a generation where wonderful softwares are free, yours will not last.
