MACscr Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 How much I really... really... hate Micro$oft Vista... Id like it if it was easier to navigate. Its takes to me long to do simple tasks with it. I only use it when i use my laptop, so that kind of hurts my experience as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Same here... I upgraded my personal laptop to Vista Ultimate. So limited time with it. Windows explorer is just plain hateful.... Many of my personal programs won't run on Vista. An OS update came down and killed the Event Notification System, which in turn killed network connectivity! Had to restore from a point prior to the update to fix it. Not near ready for prime time yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi disenioweb, I dont have it running on my PCs yet by a friend does. He is quite technically minded but has all sorts of driver issues with Vista. It LOOKS nice but: - From what we have seen it really needs 2Gig of Ram to run properly (compared to XP that runs well with 1Gig). - Has numerous driver problems as the device manufacturers may not be uptodate yet. - Is bloatware to the extreme! - Costs a lot more money for heaps more bugs. But hey if all you are after a pretty PC that isnt near as stable as XP, then Vista may be for you Cheers, Paul 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Roger, can you explain in a few points, why do you hate windows vista ( im using winxp ) and i love it.... Thanks Hello disenioweb, Iceman's comments are spot on. I like XP also, its very stable and solid. The upgrade process was very painful. DVD access was killed, sound died and many other driver problems. I have 2gb mem on the laptop and Vista is sluggish. Not real bad but more than enough to say the XP install it replaced was much faster. I had a dual boot system with XP and CentOS linux. The upgrade orphaned the linux partition. Not a show stopper but very annoying. I use some Micro$oft accounting (SBA2007) and Vista says it's not compatible. As I had mentioned in earlier post. Lost all network connectivity, couldn't access the Event logs and system warned that anyone but a local admin would have limited access. After researching and discovering that many Vista users suddenly are experiencing the same problem. It seems the issue was caused by a Micro$oft update. I'm an IT Professional, Network Administrator for a mid-sized city in Kentucky. Been doing this kinda of work for many, many years. I've used every version of DOS and every version of Windows. I remember when the lucky few that could afford a hard drive, 10mb was considered huge. In my opinion Vista was rushed out the door to meet the marketing hype. It just ain't ready for the masses yet. And yes, I love linux... not that good with it but I love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trine Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Right on guys! It still amazes me sometimes how many people jump on the MS bandwagon, every time they launch a new product ... Early adoption has always proved to be a job-security for MCSE's and other techs, more than a solid corporate decision, not to mention woes for the average user. Give it to MS, though, their profit is up 65%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 Pretty soon there will be Micro$oft Ga$ stations on every corner. But you won't be able to get gas without a Certificate of Authenticity and a Genuine Windows tag.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
