Vista is nothing more than another failure of Microsoft!

I agree vista is failure, even on the fastest computer. Never think of getting a slow computer and vista. Vista itself needs at least 1 gb of RAM, and when you do something else you need even more. I got myself a new computer and vista works fine, but its not as good as XP was, you can get all the fancy lookings windows, transparent stuff to XP too. Vista has too many "so called" new features that it rips itself apart and gets too complicated. It has good features, but very bad ones too. Also most of my old good games don't work on my Vista, so i'm really not satisfied of my purchase at all, but i hate it when some games REQUIRE vista...So i can't get rid of vista and just have to get used to it.

LOL...and people tease me because I use Windows 2000 still. I use FireFox, too. It blocks so much more junk than IE. I want to get a new laptop soon, but I am dreading Vista. It seems to take Microsoft years to get the bugs out of their systems. I was hoping by now they would have had the bugs out.

Those are some strong words. I'd have to say that I agree with you. I have Vista. I don't experience frustration on that level though. Maybe it's because I'm used to a machine that randomly crashed whenever it felt like it. It's an improvement from that but I'd much rather have Windows XP. Vista is all show in my opinion.

I am totally i agree with you about vista.Microsoft has launched vista thinking that they will rule the market but was the most failure operating system by Microsoft.

I got my hp laptop from USA those people has given vista installed in my laptop initially i found it good so i didn't object that time now i am very aware of vista it i worst OS so slow and taking so much space.

Frankly speaking, I don't really know anything about programs. My husband bought my laptop in Canada and when it arrived here Vista is already installed. As I was reading your topic and responses here, I really learned a lot. I keep on blaming my internet provider because most of the time, my computer is hanging. And really very slow when I'm logging in. Now I know, the program itself is the one to blame and the one who is causing it. Thanks for the information.

Hie Ycp, I have not try it yet but I have heard lots of comments about it ( not so good ones )since the first day it was launched. And a lot of computer savvy friends told me to wait and see, not to rush into getting one as it has not proven its good performances as yet.

I am not a trend setter and I always believe that new things/products are not always good and it is worthwhile to wait for awhile for reviews from critics or other consumers before making a decision to purchase one.
Most of the time whatever they have said or claimed - how good the product was, it is just too good to be true!

Thank you for sharing your views of the product and hope things will get better for you soon.

Cheers,

I agree

Big brother, I think I share the same idea with you. I have the useless vista windows and it limited my activities on the internet. Can you imagine I cannot login into any known messengers in the world and a whole lot of tasks that cannot perform using their garbage called vista. Microsoft should work on the evil technology.

I don't agree with your opinions on Vista. I have been using Vista for months now and don't encounter any of the problems you've mentioned. At first, it took some time for me to adjust to the new features, but over time I got more familiar. I actually like the improvements. Not only am I able to look for documents faster, I can also compartmentalize everything. This new version is more user-friendly I believe. Try giving it some time, please.:)

I have Windows XP and right now I am on my husband's computer that has Windows Vista. I have no problem using Foxfire, on Vista. I also haven't had any of the problems you are talking about.
The problems we have noticed is software that is fairly new not being compatable with Vista. Like just under a year ago I replaced his printer with a new one, the one that came with the computer we bought, but opted for XP to be installed instead of Vista, as vista was too new at the time. The printer is not compatible with Vista, but most everything else seems to work. I think Microsoft sucks. But a MAC is too expenisive for us right now.
