Windows vista Stinks?
Well, i havent used this thing properly, since i dont have it in any of my machines, but I've read and heard people complain a lot about it, and then there was that article on pc magazine that also said vista pretty much sucked.

The Vista Death Watch - Columns by PC Magazine

So, what do you all vista users think of it? (assuming you know a little about what goes on in the background and etc. not just "it looks pretty " )

its fine for people who use their computer for browsing, chatting, etc.

but if you care about anytihng obove basic computer use it sucks, because it uses a lot of precious ram, has multiple compatibility issues, and you comp needs to be about as twice as good for it to run as fast as xp

Vista'd be pretty good...
For people like my Mom (Who stink at using computers)



They made it more n00b-friendly but made it less Computer user-friendly...
Due to the compatibility issues and whatnot...


And yeah.... TOO MUCH RAM! D:

lolLinux, vista is great on paper but was executed terribly. Shame that pretty much all retailers now here sell their comps with vista. Meh the smart people get em custom made with XP anywho . but tbh in a couple of years vista will eventually pick up i hope cause its not actually a bad idea, its bad realisation.

i got home basic "FREE" because i thought it was going to run flawless on a gig of ram since the min is 512mb. well i was wrong it ran kinda laggy, i couldnt play any game my cpu was being used up at 100% and when you use windows media playeer 11 you cant even play music while that studin DRM thing eating up your cpu. and i also had problem with DWM lucky for me i didnt buy it but i just went back to Win Xp SP3 , Sp3 has a 10% preformance boost so horrah,

It also takes ages to set up and is more trouble than it is worth for the non computer savvy individual.

Linux is good, but for people that have to do stuff like you and you alone! I've been there tried that. I'm perfectly happy with xp and it's buttload of applications and games and interoperability with the rest of the world's comps.
