Constant people crying about Vista, please F*** off
Why faggots, why? I mentioned this in another thread today. It's like these idiots are in denial about them being the SAME way just a few years ago. I am simply sick and tired of hearing how Vista has ruined the PC market, worst OS yet and simply not being worth the wait.
Remember in 2002-2005? "OMFG XP sucks, eats up all the ram and waste of space! 98 Forever!" Well cunt-shit, there sure are limitations of a shell OS running on top of DOS. And all the complaints about hardware not being XP compliant, yes you fucking dipshits its on NT codebase expect drivers to come and they did. At that time, multimedia hardware did not always have NT4/2000 drivers. The codebase was different from 9x, when they came they were more stable. XP had loads of bugs, being shitted on always. Then we had the other idiots that supported 2000, an OS they didn't download (yes you heard me right, because 2000 was so expensive). Claiming it was better, the same as XP just without the visual stuff. Where are these nutsacks today? On XP Pro. Why did these people cry? Their computers sucked or just didn't know to use a computer properly. Now fast forward to 2006. The same story, now XP is the new god. Then now theres SP3 and its being praised as being rock solid? It was always rock solid douchebags, if anything for an operating system being used on hardware not manufacturered by the OS makers (Microsoft aka devilware for Apple/linux whores) being used worldwide at the capacity it is now, is simply an achievement. The moral of this thread: Vista's requirements are higher than before, times have changed asswipes. It is more secure, more idiot proof and user friendly for the masses (error mesages make sense for one). Like XP, it has its issues as it still is young. Its nothing that could take you down as a home user and completely ruin your life (Leopard deleting files, anyone?). Fucking homos, I quote from the hall of flame, "Unwind your panties and have a tall glass of STFU" to these people. Computers are faster and Vista does more, it is far from a failure nor is it a bad OS. |

I agree more or less. The only 3 things that I find stopping me from buying Vista is
A) too expensive in europe B) Windows 7 is right around the corner. C) I would hate to see say DX11 only be supported under Windows 7. B and C only matter to me because of A.

The thing is though, as far as a consumer grade OS, it wasn't as big as a leap as 98 to XP. Windows 2000 wasn't really marketed as a consumer grade OS so don't add that one in.
Several things irked me in Vista too. One of those things was SuperFetch. Yes it tries to predict what I will run and pre-loads it and all, but I find it as more of an unncessary strain on my harddrive every time i start my computer. Another thing is how Vista changed how audio is handled by the OS. (Search google for this if you haven't seen it before) The last kicker is the network degradation caused by playing audio in Vista. Also, Vista takes wayyyyyyyy too long to boot up / shut down. Granted these things you can turn off / configure. But to the every day user who is even scared of formatting their own computers, telling them to edit their registry or to open a MMC window to turn off services is hardly user friendly. To the bleeding edge users, whom are usually also gamers, the performance hit by playing games in DX10 does not justify the new eye candies. So why pay another $100 for an OS which you do not need as compared to spending that $100 on new games? Vista does have it's good sides such as UAC, meta-tags and ReadyBoost. But to joe shmoe, UAC prompts are more of an annoyance and won't understand why it's asking the questions it's asking. This may seem like a post bashing Vista, but in all honesty, I tried to like Vista, but the cons outweighs the pros for me at the moment. If anyone wonders if I've used Vista before, the answer is yes, I do. I have vista installed on one of the computers and I do regularly use it. |

Perhaps my memory is clouded but I never heard quite as much critisism towards WinXP. Apart from the rampant security problem with the Blaster series of viruses, when any level of critique was quite justified for a while.
If a user has been hurting from one of the many identified problems with Vista I'm quite forthcoming to expressions like "Vista sucks", as long as they know what they're talking about. Even if it has worked fairly well for me there has been a number of well known potholes, some of which has been fixed with SP1 or earlier, and some that are still there. Then there has also been more concerns around the product Vista, for a customer to be justly annoyed with than just the technicalities. It all rubs off on peoples overall view. |

doesnt really help when we are subjected to "editorials" on websites from writers with the technical proficiency of a beached walrus. If my father can use vista then anyone can.
installed it on about 40 machines in a year, had one or two issues with a few non supported drivers, thats about it. I absolutely fail to see the problem. |

If a company... that died... and then came back from the grave..with hardware that doesn't come close to what they were orginally providing..... that creative turned around at bought out durring thier death, is able to produce a vista 32bit drive that works... with no crashes thus far.... and sounds good.... made back in 2002ish....
then all those other companies bitching about making drivers for vista... are complete idiots......

I agree 100%, + Rep for you man.
My grandma thought that vista was some new evil concoction from microsoft with the approximate benevolence of a nuclear bomb, then she bought a laptop with Vista installed and she demands that her next computer has it installed or she won't buy it! Vista is rock-solid stable, not had a single BSOD on it. Not having any problems with memory, the performance is excellent and i really find the new search feature included in the top corner of most explorer windows extremely useful. The new taskbar is genius as well, the search is GOD imo, beats XP's trawling through entry after entry trying to find what you installed because the new software installed alert hasn't come up (which happened to me an awful lot). Bottom line is, use the damned OS and see how much better and practical it is and upgrade your fucking system before you bitch about the performance >_< Hell, i got decent performance on the Ultimate RC1 with fucking 512mb of ram! Jesus fucking christ... if you think vista fucking sucks you need to fuck the fuck off and GAAAH!!! I'VE RUN OUT OF FUNNY FUCKING FUCK RELATED FUCK THINGS Now i'm done fucking...

The lowered price for Vista should indicate a financial issue - no? Or was it just too much to begin with? 'just buy an new one' - yeah, we all have a money tree in our yards - right? If you choose to ignore *that* you can keep your head up your ass - and when it doesn't stop the software industry from sticking its dick up there with it - you might just as well be sucking it too. |

you really do live up to your name man. surprised you are still here after you flamed zardon in the off topic a while ago. Guess you thought that made you look really cool ? when all you did was sound like a real mentally retarded asswipe. Certainly have some anger issues thats for sure.
Oh yeah, you know when XP was released? the demands were high for it in the day too. Its part of being in the tech scene. If you all you want to do is surf and sound like a retard which you do, then I guess that dell lowend laptop running Windows 95 is just peachy. |

I won't insult you on anything you just typed, because you aren't that stupid nor the greatest fucking douchebag I have met on DH. But I do like to swear a lot, something I can't do in my regular posts on the forum

Vista Home Premium and Ultimate are probably not very good upgrade options at the moment for older computer, they do take more out of them. As a business, you want to market your latest and "greatest" (notice the quotes) product and sell it so you actually do the purpose of business: SELL AND MAKE PROFIT. That's what Microsoft is doing, like any other business. Leopard doesn't say on the Box "Will make your old PowerPC processor run like a pile of horseshit" on the front of back of the box. It was even worse when XP came out and way more fucking confusing. We had people pissing their pants about M.E. downgrading to 98, bitching about XP and muslims dieing for Allah (pfffft) in America while taking out Twin Towers. Then many years later, the ones that were bitching finally realized "well my 900MHz Pentium 3 has finally died, I think I'll buy a Pentium 4. I think I'll take a walk and fuck some sheep on the way to Best Buy", they are now are praising XP. If the market adopts something late and the company was trying to push people not overly agressive, its nowhere near a failure. Microsoft didn't say "HEY CUNT SHITS! Get rid of XP from your system now, its out of date within 1 week. Do it now because we are the kings of Silicon Valley and suck our dicks with great success to top it off!". Support is still there for all XP users, migration takes a while and people are just impatient. Problems were worse in 2001 and people seem to have to forgot it. I'm sure Osama didn't come bomb your memories too of these computing events, whores.

'I can sense in these typed words there is anger' - pfff. or perhaps you are you claiming to be psychic? Anyone who disagrees has anger issues? where did you come up with such a fucking moronic notion? Anyone who posts in *THE VENTING FORUM* must have anger issues? - spew your ignorance on to the OP then - you overfilled colostomy bag. |

I dont feel like clipping quotes right now sooooooooooo here are some reasons why I like vista.
1. The way Vista handles audio is FUCKING amazing. I wouldn't give it back for the world. I have a LOT better control over using multiple audio devices. I love to play my music over my klipsch 5.1s with WoW over the speakers. Then have ventrillo running through my headset. I love it... lots. mmmmmmmmm 2. The way the RAM is handled. In XP over the course of a day or 2, the RAM will stay filled up, I have ran this computer on for about 3 weeks straight and sit here with 29% used RAM... guess how much I have used when I boot up... 26%. That is pretty damned efficient. 3. Pretties... Fuck yes I like the pretties lol. 4. Budget - You can build a C2D machine with Vista Home Premium (and since someone was talking about a money tree missing I suggest planting one with hookers) you can build a solid machine 1-2GB of ram e4300 c2d a decent mobo and something like an 8600 for around $400. L2Buy on sale... ocz has been seen as cheap as $20 a gig for ram. The 8600GT was on rebate for $60 last week, ecs had a c2d mobo for $20. E4300 can be had for <$100. If this machine isn't good enough for you then you obviously dont want a good budget machine and you can GTFO. 5. Drivers - When a community will put out drivers for some hardware / peripherals that the company refuses to do then the company is just lazy cough cough lexmark. They are in it for the $$$. People flock at their <$30 printers. Now they have to buy another one to work on vista. I don't know if the moral of the story would be don't be cheap in tech or companies shouldn't be in it for the $$$. 6. Startup speed and shutdown speed are equivelant or less than xp. Remember when the circular windows logo comes you can start typing in your PW and it will be loggign you in as soon as you hit the enter key. That cuts out a few seconds. Profit. 7. Touching base on the pretties. XP was a bitch to customize. You used Windowsblinds or stylexp. Both programs have been known to take up a decent share of resources. Aero isn't worse sooooo. pft you all! Just like the brown man above me said... XP was criticized and those who don't remember think back. Yes it was long long ago but think back. XP was buggy as hell. Everyone thought it was a total flop, but now it is worshiped by millions.

wow madogg really is a whiny little bitch !
Anyone who says vista sucks obviously has very little computer knowledge. Can't wait to see him cross Z again, and watch him getting bitchslapped around the net. I think Z let him off with a fools pardon in that thread. ![]()

What worries me most - when Vista was in 'free beta' - how well was it tested if so little hardware supported it?? So - do I want to pay top dollar to beta test their OS - no fucking way - I'll let the billy lovers do that, thank you. I'll wait for next gen - Vista is the new ME as far as I am concerned. And MS lachies loved ME at first too - oooh eye candy - big fucking deal - a turd in a tuxedo is still useless to me and gets flushed with all the other turds. |

omg you are SOOOOOOOOOO cool. I mean Zardon gets all the cool hardware, is a great designer and reviewer and runs one of the best tech sites on the net (you sound JEALOUS of the "mighty Z!" hahaha!). Why wouldn't I want to be him? Maybe you want us to want to be like you? WTF do you ever do apart from complain, whinge, and insult people in the off topic, religion forum and wherever else you feel like. You clearly can't even get Vista running right when my 50 year old mother can use it perfectly fine!
Z also apparently isn't a complete tosser like you and even let you stay when you posted your paranoia in the off topic. Im sure he can't even remember who the fuck are you anyway LOL. Just another faceless loudmouth egotistical asshole in the crowd...... All you do is insult people and try so so hard to be this fucking hard rebel. A rebel without a clue? Sure seems that way. Get your head out of your ass and wise the fuck up man. All you ever prove is how much a fucking dickwad you are. You are as cool as an old mans ball sack. |
