My whole family here has a Vista program on their computer including mine, and for me has been nothing but pure trouble. I am a college student that, for now, does online classes and must stay logged in for a few hours. So far Vista has taken out mine, my Moms, my Brothers, and even my little Sisters computer!!! It has depleted nearly all of my assignments, logs me out every 5 minutes because it’s not able to connect to the internet and deleting files I had saved. I prefer XP over anything else, and sadly I cannot change my computer to run XP because it has Vista hardware inside…

Forgot to mention the fact that Vista seems to have difficulty preforming a very neccessary task: turning on.

Vista sucks. I’m going off to college next year and my laptop arrived yesterday. It’s a fairly good laptop with 2 gigs of RAM, up to date graphics card etc. etc. First off as soon as I turn it on I need to wait for 5 minutes for all these shitty apps that I’ll never use to load. I went into the guts of the system and found that whenever my laptop was turned on Vista would automatically run over ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY applications. These ranged from fax programs to IPV6 to more shitty 20+ year old software. The computer froze three times in the first five hours of unboxing it. If I attempted to run a chat program while surfing the web it would overload and freeze. If I tried to open itunes and the internet at the same time it would take upwards of five minutes. Vista is shit and takes speed for stupid ass applications. I’m sending it back and getting a Mac laptop because I can’t have a computer in college that has a liability to freeze while I’m writing a paper.

I’m using Vista home premium on an acer 5920 core duo 2GHz T7300, 2GB Ram 4MB L2 cache with Nvidia Gforce 8600M GS turbocache video card.
The system is using 888MB but seems to be swopping tons of stuff to/from disk as if it doesn’t have enough ram. It can’t even run Quake 3 without 1 or 2 second halts in the video every 10 to 15 seconds. The system uses about 25% of processor time continually and sometimes maxes to 37%…DOING NOTHING BUT SYSTEM STUFF! The 25% is NT kernel. Every so often the hard disk goes crazy and is at max utilization. I’m trying to find out what useless namby pamby monitoring/safety stuff is running. Maybe I can turn it off. I’ve already pulled the plug on all sorts of junk to see what’s hogging the processor but still can’t find out….. ANYONE HELP ME? Aaaaaarrrggggghhh! I can’t take anymore I spent 750 quid on this laptop….it’s slower than my 3 year old laptop running xp.

I’ve been a PC user for years now and nothing really compares to Apple’s OSX. If you have never used an Apple computer before, go and try it you wont be disappointed!

Pre-release versions of Windows Vista (Beta 2, RC1, and RC2) expired on May 31, 2007. If you are running a pre-release version of Windows Vista, it is strongly recommended that you migrate your PC to the final version of Windows Vista.
To install the final version of Windows Vista on any of these pre-release versions of Windows Vista, you may purchase the desired Windows Vista Upgrade. The Windows Vista Upgrade must be the same language version as the pre-release version you are replacing.
This is the entry from Microsoft’s own website. Note you have to pay to upgrade Vista RC1 to Vista.

Hey People lets see the facts :

Windows XP was the easiest OS to Migrate to and probably the most stable at the time. But
i am a Linux User because of the problems on those times.

Vista has problems with Drivers, Applications
and to much requirements so why change XP
now i think i dont need to switch just yet

First of all, let me say I agree with everything you are saying James. Second, Microsoft is shaking in their boots. They know they are f-ing up. They know the revenue they are collecting off of leasing & licening Microsoft Office Suite will soon come to hault when Google perfects their Google Docs and SpreadSheet!!! THis IS HUGE!!! Check out Google Docs & Spreadsheets….this only the begining. ANYBODY CAN USE IT ON ANY Operating SYSTEM. Do you KNOW HOW MUCH companies, schools, ect. will save when they don’t have to pay for Micosoft’s crappy software that will only work on windoze. BRB
