Strike One

So, I tried to download a 4GB ISO file on Windows Vista using a web browser the other day. Obviously, I left my laptop on, plugged in the power outlet, with the lid open and walked away because I can’t stare at the progress bar for 6 hours.

I came back after about 5 hours to check on the download only to find out that Windows Vista had suspended itself to the RAM. Of course the download had stopped at 10% and there was no way to easily continue.

I haven’t touched any power settings in the OS configuration. I would expect an OS to do this in late 90s. It’s 2007 now – almost a decade later – we need better software! Windows Vista does NOT deliver.
