Well its true. There is a lot of issues with it as I am sure people arent making this shit up.
Its like still fucking girls without a rubber thinking you might not get AIDS despite the statistics.

You never experienced Windows NT then.
Vista is nothing in comparison......NOTHING!

No doubt! NT 3.5/4.0 didn't even have centralized hardware management.
The horrid memories of NT.

I have not had Vista crash yet on either my laptop or desktop.
So...you haven't turned them on yet?

I spent the weekend doing a complete migration of all data and programs from my old XP machine to my new Vista machine, not a single problem except for one program I use that has not been made "Vista compatible" yet, I got around that pretty easily by installing Windows Virtual PC, and loading up XP in it, works perfect.
Side note: both my new laptop and desktop came with Vista pre-loaded, so this may have something to do with not having any issues or crashes, whereas an older machine that was "made for XP" may not be 100% compatible with Vista, i.e. device drivers.
I am running both of them on only 1gig of RAM and they run very fast, I did switch them both to "performance mode" so they basically look and act like XP.

I was just wondering that. It seems the bulk of the problems come from people doing upgrades rather than replacing their computers.
Ive had my Dell for a LONG time now. Id say almost a decade..maybe 6-8 years. Ive upgraded the video card and ram and thats it. Not bad considering. However, I know its getting time for a new computer, so I am keeping my ear to the ground when it comes to OS.

Yeah, a lot of negativity isn't really tied to performance (though it can be bloated). Rather, it add nothing other than eye candy and DX10.
The interface (unlike XP) seems to have gotten worse.
Not to mention that base work that has been set for DRM.

I should note that these crashes are always preceded by system backups and then after restarting, recovery programs will pop up. I find this to be a great improvement over XP crashing where you would still lose a lot of your work. I haven't had any freeze ups with Vista so far (which seemed to be common on XP).
Not possible. XP hasn't been out that long. You said you've had your pc for 6-7 years
I lost my damn reply.Yeah thats about right.
Ok I was thinking it didn't come out until late 02 but it was late 01. But you got the first release and didn't have problems?
I never had problems with XP pre-sp1, not anywhere near the Win 98SE blowups, but about as common as NT4. And Win 95 how did we put up with that shit? A guy at work brought in his laptop running 95 so I could fix something for him. I couldn't stop laughing at how pathetic that thing was.
As much as I love the industry I'm in there are too many people who think they know everything in it.
I still have my Emachine that I bought in Oct 2001 and it came with XP Home. Don't hurry over to Vista, Microsoft claims that they will support XP till 2014.

Yeah I cant stand that shit. Everyone is an expert. Im not an expert, but I know to steer clear of a possible mine site.
I think it sucks. I'm not an IT pro or a programmer, but I'm not in the "you know nothing about computers" category either. Maybe ... just MAYBE ... vista doesn't work for what I need an OS to do. I'd also like to see what you use as a basis for your statement that vista was built on xp. If it was then so many of the programs that ran on xp but are screwed on vista would actually run. Even a bunch of microsux own software will not run on the vista OS.
It's really annoying when you try to load your printer drivers or the alternate one they say will work

I am a computer science person. I have used Microsoft products for over 15 years. I have used every Microsoft OS since dos 5.0. I know computers like the back of my hand, so I can tell you with 100% certainty that Vista is a total piece of shit.
