That is all.

oh yeah, so does buying software online from microsoft. Their Digital Locker is stupid.
 
Really? I've had it since it came out and haven't had any trouble. XP was the worst operating system I ever used.
 
I just bought a new DELL XPS yesterday. I thought about getting it with XP, but went ahead and got Vista. I hope I'm not sorry.

I'm doing a reinstall on a laptop....its so slow and clunky.....stupid security shit every 2 seconds pops up....freezes up. And I'm trying to retreive a copy of Office that I bought online on Windows Digital locker last year....400 bucks....what a rip
 
I haven't had any trouble with Vista since Service Pack 1 came out.
 
I keep on trying to use their Digital locker downloads...a service that they are stopping in 09 due to them being retards. Microsoft is so ass backwards with their online shit.......

Its in the control panel, try to go to "My Digital Locker" where I have content, can't even access it.
 
I've had no problem with Vista being slow. In fact, it's been much faster than XP on my previous laptop.

Of course, this laptop has 4 gigs of memory, a 2.0 Core2Duo, and that laptop has a 1.2 single cord and 768 RAM.
 
fuck this digital locker bullshit, its office 2007 but I don't wanna deal with it. Looks like this laptop is getting 2003.
 
Xericx, my guess is that the laptop you are using is probably not up to snuff. Vista requires a lot of RAM to run, as do most OS's that have similar capabilities. 99% of new PC's have no problems, but the problems you're mentioning with it freezing and going slow are textbook RAM problems.

Your issue is with the computer's capabilities and not Vista's.

I've been running Vista on my home PC for well over a year now and I've had zero problems and found it to be anything but slow and clunky. It's actually quite fast.

No. 4GB RAM, Lenovo X61

Its just so clunky...processes are not bad, but the menu system is garbled IMO and its just retarded compared to XP. Hope this shit dies

Just so used to XP, they put this pile of steaming crap on us. Wish I ordered XP Pro on this thing instead.
 
maybe it should just be Microsoft sucks.....their online marketplace absolutely blows. But I don't like Vista....programs just don't seem to load right......

I have no idea where you're coming from on this one. I just got a new computer two days ago, and was prompted if I wanted to connect once the OS was fully installed. There was absolutely no difficulty in it.

Agreed. I've put Vista on 3 or 4 of my friends computers, and it is the easiest thing ever.

It is not slow. It does use more memory. Basically it comes down to this. If you don't do your research and specify the hardware on your box to handle your OS, of course you are going to be dissappointed. But the only one fucking yourself, is yourself. Do your research and build your box to handle the software running on it, and you won't be dissappointed.

Please, I set up computers all the fucking time.

This computer is more than adequate to handle it. Intel Core 2 Duo 1.60Ghz with 4GB of Ram.
It came loaded with Vista, it was not an upgrade to an existing system nor do I feel like "building my own box". Vista is very user unfriendly and is a total failure of an operating system. The browsers keep on having strange errors and I suspect its due to their stupid security settings. I need to disable all the bloatware.

I've been exceedingly satisfied with XP, but Vista is a turd with wings.

I get these all the time with programs as simple as yahoo messenger. I don't crash in XP too often.

That is your opinion. I have had Vista running very stable and fast from about 2 months after it was out and the drivers were all brought up to snuff. Secondly everybody has to tweak the UI for their own likings. If you like the XP interface, then if you know so much about computers then go in and turn off the the UAC security prompts and turn the UI to Windows XP style and it will be just like you remember XP being like. Unfortunately, instead of going out and learning something about the product you just bought, you would rather just go bitch about it.

How would I learn about that without people telling me about that? ESP?

My view shared by many considering how poor their sales and conversion rate is, and is why Windows 7 is already on the way hopefully next year. I'm not going to waste my time on learning this OS when a new one is coming next year, this is just a work computer I'm setting up for myself.....my personal PCs, I'm only using XP until I see how Windows 7 is.

Microsoft, while it does has some good offerings is a fucking retarded company. Their products are shit, especially their online offerings like their Windows Live ID, their online storage (Sharepoint) and other crap. I do like their phone OS though and XP...their online stuff and vista? wack.
 
My experience is that with DEP being on by default - Vista's stability is really dependent on the quality of drivers you install - a lot more so than XP was.

I have multiple boxes of Vista running in a virtual machine and they are working just fine - but on my communication desktop - with some unique hardware - it is not nearly as stable.

Personally, the only thing Ireally love about Vista over XP is the built-in search - it is tons better than what you get from XP. Everything else I do not need much.
 
http://www.internetnews.com/stats/a...arly 50 of IT Shops to Skip Windows Vista.htm

While Microsoft maintains that Windows Vista is the most successful version of its iconic operating system ever, that picture may be dimmed by a new report that found that almost half of corporate IT shops will skip it while waiting for the next major release -- Windows 7.

In an independently-funded survey, long-time industry analyst Laura DiDio found that 46 percent of the 700 IT decision makers she polled intend to wait for Windows 7 before they migrate off of Windows XP.

Analysts have been sounding warnings over slower-than-expected corporate adoption of Vista for at least a year. As a result, Microsoft has quietly acknowledged -- through statements this fall by CEO Steve Ballmer -- that it's okay for customers to wait for Windows 7.
