I think we are saying Vista is too much windows, correct me if I'm wrong.

Vista is a pain in the ass. To a power user that just wants to get things done, it's not coperative in the least. Second, it's a resource hog. Third, they reused code, and flaws that exsisted in xp, exsist in vista as well. it was a rushed release. They pushed the date back, and hurried a launch, and it hasn't been good. Maybe we will see some service packs change some things, hopefully fix the bugs, but I still doubt it's going to help the fact that it's just an annoying resource hog.

oh and that bull shit to right click cmd and run as admin...z0mg

well if you dont like vista, too bad. windows 7 will be based on vista and server 2008.

and dont want to sound like a douche, but f**kcing get over it. its been out for a year and if you don't like it just dont use it. as for your dumb ass co-workers, tell them to go dildo themselves. also, in general, customers are dumb shits too; welcome to reital. if you dont like to deal with their lack of computer literacy, find a new occupation.

the vista is "teh ghey" or "p.o.s." line has been used for over a year know. yes its a resource hog, but so was windows xp when it first came out. ram and cpu power are so cheap now adays that there is no excuse for you running less than 1GB anyway, unless you're either too cheap, too broke or dont care about computers.

and fyi, im running xp and plan to do so until windows 7 comes out and build a new computer. im just tired of people bashing vista. everyone know it's "teh suxor."

Seriously though I like Vista but I can't do my programming in Vista because it doesn't support my programming software. Because of that I have my desktop dual boot XP and Vista. Whenever I feel like programming I switch over to XP. Vista hasn't given me any problems and runs smooth but I'm running a 3.6ghz AMD with 2gb of ram and an ATI video card with 1gb ram.

I avoided XP for a year or so when it came out... same with Vista. Now it's time for me to give it a try.

Can't afford to upgrade to Vista, and my pathetic laptop would not be able to handle it.

I think a lot of people get hung up over OS's. Vista is never going to satisfy a Gentoo user. Someone that wants to just check e-mail and look at porn are going to be happy with whatever OS will get it done. Microsoft is not shooting for the hardcore end user. Neither is Apple. If someone is using Vista and they hate it well it's your fault. Get a linux or unix distro, or "downgrade" to another OS.

This is my gripe, I don't feel like waiting 10 minutes for the computer to boot and load explorer.

I use Linux Mint on my laptop. In 4 minutes I can boot it and open firefox. Not to mention all of the extra visual effects are turned on. So with all the extra fun stuff vista gives, why does it take so long to boot? My fiances laptop has 1gb of ram to take 10 minutes of boot time.

We can't use it at work either, it won't run our applications. We had to roll back to xp.

your right. that's it. thanks to an unstable power grid and an un-adaquate battery backup. a power outage killed that streak and my battery backup only held me up for 45 more minutes.

But you know what, I've been error free. Even now. See that original install date? Well that's still valid. I installed it on 8/10/06. Most other windows verisions are FUBAR by now and need reinstalled.

But all in all, like that popular internet song, "Every OS Sucks".

Ok I got some friens that deal with vista on a persional basis and one thing you need is alot or ram,,,,and I mean alot like in the 2 gig range at minamum.

Vista is a ram hog and it takes loads of ram to run properly, upgrade your ram and then see how it goes from there.

GSRCRXsi

i too think you should have 2 gig+ with vista.

personally i just use ubuntu on my server/desktop. its faster and does loads more than vista can. i really dont have anything against vista personally, sure some people have had probs, but i dont think it would keep me from using it. its just not my first choice. really the biggest issue i have is the price. i have NEVER paid for an OS, and i dont plan to. yay open source and XP corp hacks LOL.

Like I said, RAM is dirt cheap. Either suck up for the extra $30 for 2GB, turn off all the pretty shit on Vista, switch to a different OS or shut the hell up. Granted an OS that needs 2GB is bullshit, deal with it.

Drake

Vista only recognizes two gigs of ram. So even if you put four gigs in it isn't going to do any thing for you.

phyregod

Vista sucks balls.

Its glitchy as fuck

Its a resource hog

It locks up

It spits

It cries

It locks up again

14 cold boots later and its fine for another 32 minutes. That is, if you don't touch it for 31 of those minutes.

I still won't even consider a fucking mac.
