Okay okay wait now. Why do you guys hate Vista? It's just XP but improved is virtually every single way.

Except for the fact that it's buggy as hell...

How? I've had zero problems with it.

My friends who upgraded are all having issues. All one of them.

Maybe you should get better friends. Like me :o

Hey everyone....long time no see :wave:

As for Vista, I dont like it. I have it at my job (I work at my schools computer lab now) and it is always crashing on people. Plus, the fact that you cannot use older versions of Powerpoint, Excel, Word, Access etc.and the fact that iTunes does not work with vista (maybe it does now, Im not sure) seems to piss people off.

iTunes has worked fine since Vista launched :\

I think the lack of backwards compatibility is what turns most people off Vista.

[QUOTE=i am the robots;15480353]Vista is trash.

Is there any way you can build a PC and put a Mac operating system on it?[/QUOTE]
Hardware issues make that impossible.

idk I put Vista Home on my recent PC build and it hasn't really gotten in the way or crashed even when I'm running Cubase. Granted that's pretty much all I use it for, and listening to music and some web browsing.

[QUOTE=Ghoul Hunter;15480430]iTunes has worked fine since Vista launched :\[/QUOTE]

Really? I have had many people complain to me about iTunes not being compatible with vista. I use the OS at work but I dont have iTunes on it or am authorized to download it so I took their word for it.

Anyway, as of now, I still stand by my dislike for Vista. If backwards compatibility wasnt a problem and if it didnt crash as much, then my opinion would be different. Im sure these bugs will be fixed eventually or I'll just get used to it.

Yeah, it's always worked for me.

Eh, that's just mainly rumor and bad hardware/software trouble. My computer is like 3 years old and Vista doesn't ever crash/screw up and everything runs even better on it than XP.

I'll tell you little fellows why Vista must be hated.

1. You can't be an administrator of your own system when you want, how you want, as you want. You are queued every single time you make a decision on your computer, and are given hundreds and hundreds of pop ups asking if you're sure you want to do things. That's idiotic, purely idiotic and just gives Microsoft more control over YOUR computer (it's easily lockable, but apparently your computer will always be in danger).

2. It works entirely on RAM memory, and rarely goes to HD to save data unless there's A LOT OF DATA TO SAVE.

Hello, powerouts!

3. Powerpoint and what not prompts you every time you open someone else's presentation or document, and sees everything as "a thread", except real threats. Like encrypted threats, the ones that are actually dangerous!

4. Aero is bullsh‪it overall, it's a waste of virtual memory, despite it looks pretty there's little to non usability to it.

I disabled user account controls on my work PC, and Vista works fine once I did that. I can use iTunes on it also.

In other news I just bought a Guild.

1. You can shut all that off.

2. That's not an issue for 99% of people.

3. No idea

4. Definitely can't agree there, but it's an opinion.

The computers at my school are rather old and so many people use them daily that i would say its a rather safe bet to assume that they arent in the best condition. Im sure this is whats causing many of them to crash. However, its the new laptops that I see crashing that had Vista pre-packaged that is rather baffling.

I still think the lack of backwards compatibility is a big mistake, especially with many companies who are looking to update their computer technologies.

Yes you can but still I hate vista! =(

Meh, I'll ahve to deal with it when I get my sweet new laptop for christmas =(

If you pay extra, sometimes XP can be installed instead of Vista.

Well that's gay too, why should I pay for something I can do on my own.

:I

And even XP is more expensive than vista, heh.

I'm going to see Halloween(old one), Hatchet and Army of Darkness in an hour. Should be a good night.

Enjoy.

Nice. I've been wanting to watch Army of Darkness for a long *** time...

Its such a classic.

I'll go to sleep tonight.

Nah, only the weak sleep.

Sleeping is great.
