Whats wrong with vista?

got no issue with vista

I like vista,
only it has a few bugs
and it takes up way too much space
and it was rushed before it was at 100% (my guess 85% complete based on the many,many updates and the seemingly endless "ARE YOU SURE" "DO YOU TRUST" bullshit )

bottom line, they needed to refine it more before they released it especially the 32 bit version (I have 64 and its good/great, my sister has 32 and its bad/crap-on-a-stick)

it arranges things for you.

Is that why my desktop icons want to move back to the top left of my screen when I shut down?
I swear my icons act like that's the holiest of all places. Their "promised land" so to speak.

it takes at least two gigs of ram to run... you can scarcely access the system files... if you get a bug, it takes the best part of twelve hours to repair, because the system keeps telling you you're "not allowed" in those folders...

My old PC ran Vista on less than 512mb of RAM. All bugs I've ever had were fixed by a good ole fashioned reboot that took 10 minutes at most.
System files are easy to access, too easy. I almost deleted some of them 'cause I didn't know what they were at the time...

I could play KOTOR on XP and I can't on Vista,

Quite frankly, it over uses resources, causes my games to run slow, and doesn't allow me to play any games before late 08. That is why I hate it.

Of the 33 games I currently have installed on my PC only four are newer than 07, the only one I had any problems with, C&C Generals, was fixed by 5 seconds of Googling, a 'Copy and Paste', a 'save as' and a second 'Copy and Paste.'

Most people fear change, that's why people hate Vista

I agree with that to a point, I think that XP turned out to be a workhorse, a solid OS for sure. Vista needed to be refined and Microsoft needs to give themselves MORE time than what is necessary to fix potential issues and release it when its well and truly good. In other words they need to find more (over 1,000 people who know what they are doing and the same amount who have no idea)critics and purposely try and screw it up so they know how to make it BFS, (Better, Faster, Stronger.)

I have 64 bit on my laptop and it works ok and theve fixed most of the issues but its still a memory whore and those bugs could have been identified and fixed earlier.

IN CONCLUSION, Vista 64 bit is good, not XP good but good. They could have made it SO much better if they would have delayed the release for 6 months and screwed around with it some more and made it as compatible as possible with older programs and also to refine it to take up less space.

If you don't play games on your pc, it's ok. If you do DON'T FUCKING USE IT! I know from experience, I have Vista. I try to play games but it pisses me off to no end, there are popups nonstop for pointless things that I don't give a fuck about. Especially windows updates that aren't necessary. Also Vista has this strange desire to tell you that this computer does not belong to you...I'm the only user on this computer, no profiles other than this one have been made, it's impossible for it not to have Admin status...so why the fuck does it keep telling me I have to "run as administrator" I'm the ONLY FUCKING USER ON HERE! It's the same when you try to access folders that you usually wouldn't "need" to, only worse. Not only does it ask you to run as admin, it then tells you:You don't have permission. What's that about? Who does have permission then? And why can't I do whatever I want with MY computer?

Anyway to end my angry, grammaticlly pathetic rant somewhat coherently: Vista, in my opinion, is a very sad attempt at making a good OS. I'm eagerly awaiting Windows 7 in hopes that Microsoft didn't screw up again.

ANGRY ABOUT UAC?

1. Click on the the window button
2. Click in the search field
3. Type without the quotes "msconfig"
4. Press enter
5. In MSCONFIG, browse over to the TOOLS tab.
6. Find "Disable UAC
7. Click on it
8. Reboot system.

Alternative Route

1. Click on the the window button
2. Click on CONTROL PANEL
3. Click on USER ACCOUNTS
4. Click on "Turn user account control on or off"
5. Follow 2 step instructions

If you play games on your computer and not on a console then you should be competent enough to read manuals. If you do not know how to read and understand manuals and help guides by use of search engines, forums, microsoft's website then you should not play games on the computer.

Everything is wrong with vista. No brainer there. The fact that Microsoft is releasing a new windows version within a year or two confirms it. It's incredibly buggy, leechful and demanding from your hardware. If you need your pc for games, stick with XP vista supports only a limited number of games. SUXZ0R!

The real reason that they're declaring the biggest flop since Millennium is because everyone UNCONDITIONALLY HATES IT. Bugs? Not a problem, even less of one after SP1. Gamers don't need to look twice at the mid-end hardware,

AND THE BACKWARDS COMPATIBILTY - FUCKING - WORKS, GODDAMNIT!

I hate it when people hate Vista for problems that aren't there.

Totally agree and if you ask me Apple kick started it all with their slanted Mac vs. PC ads.
(although UAV could have been toned down a notch by default)

None of my programs worked with vista. I would rather keep XP than pay for expensive new versions microsoft office, photoshop, after effects, sony vegas, ect. On top of that I don't really see what they upgraded, they just added that useless sidebar thing and made the interface harder to work with.

What's wrong with Vista? The amount of messageboxes saying "[insert program name here] doesn'r work anymore.", the constant asking for permission for every damn thing (at least you can turn that off), the network seems to keep refreshing, so it goes on and off, too much network security in Vista (You can make a new map on a network disk, but you can't change it's name), the impossibility to access a shared map or printer on a Vista computer with an XP computer,...
Well, at least I haven't had any bluescreens with it.
