p/s:
if a dumb kid from a 3rd world country(who is neither white, educated nor privileged) can configure a vista system, what do youu have to say about yourselves?
its down to the old geek jargon PEBCAK
Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard!!
kill yourself and leave vista alone.

i’m a dumb kid from a 3rd world country. i cant afford osx, nor an apple for that matter. i love vista. been using it since 2006. rc2 i think. i have no computer training and i must say that vista is better than xp. now win7 is in the air and im dual booting win 7, vista, osx and backtrack 3 now. for those losers who are jumping in the windows7 bandwagon, you guys should know that you people are the lowest of the lows… you hate vista but loves windows 7. hypocrites. its 85% identical to vista, the only problem was, you diots were too caught up in the circus conjured up by certain bald dick, switch to a fruit… bla bla bla…. until you dont see what vista really was, *general herding mentality* – one sheep says vista sucks and all you M@#$!uckers agreed. (whitout actually really have used a vista machine)……i dont get it why it is ok for some os to be sold on expensive hardware…. but when microsoft tries to put a minimum requirement for vista, it was an uproar…. well windows 7 is just a way for microsoft to give vista a second “first impression”

for tux fanboys, you are worst than the fruit fanboys…at least they have money. maybe you guys can score when it comes to fast booting ala splashtop,ios,xpud. but leave the serious stuff to real os’s.

osx, what have i to say, having experenced g4 quicksilver back in 1900s, all i can say is, fruit machines are appliances that are meant to do things they are meant to while they were built. they work but they do crash and kernel panics kills.

well there goes my pointless rant. i took the easy way out. install everything and have the best of all worlds.

Seriously you blame the OS for this crazy bat shit insane user? He could of injured or killed someone with that stray bullet. If you do not know enough to say fix something as simple as a parity error then you should stay away from installing new OSes yourself.

Linux: You think your so cool that you want to use open source drivers but after 2 hours of it not working you cave and use the proprietary drivers if they have any. Don’t let a fan boy deceive you emulation will never run even 75% as good as the original native platform and that is being generous.

Mac Osx: You will never admit to the kernal panics/system errors you encounter it will always be something that you or some third party software did to break it and there are more viruses then you think a surprising amount of ad-ware as well.

Windows: Stop playing that damn game and get some work done. You will not encounter the problems other platform users assert happen every 5 seconds but stupidity on your part could put your system in a bad place more true on this platform but to some extent this applies to all.

I use windows and Linux and I now prefer Vista as it has stabilized but I have to say the Windows 7 beta has me impressed with the improvements made over Vista. I do have access to Macs and I just don’t like it as much.

I don’t like Vista, but I am not that crazy upset over it. Though I did feel like shooting my son’s PC when I had to re-image it with Windows XP and none of the driver’s worked.

Did I hear a big juicy Ubuntu? Wonder why microsoft doesn’t just bring out DOS v8 or something, and at least give out something that works…

I have been ubuntu for quite a while, never going back to microsoft… Remember, with Linus standing with you, who can stand against?

I’ve been running Vista on my 2gb RAM laptop for what, a year now. The only times I’ve had it crash on me is either because I let the battery run too low, or I was running waay too many apps. I’ve had the blue screen of death once. When you compare that to my old XP computer, that one had a blue screen of death about once a week.

“Vista is clearly the worst piece of software even Micro$oft has ever released. It seems that, anything that worked fairly well in XP, had to be changed for something that does not work at all. Anything else had to be hidden in a new location so you can’t find anything.” -Jim Smith
The reason why they changed the location of things, (and it wasn’t much to be honest) was because it makes it quicker to find what you’re looking for. Once you get used to it that is, and it took me, about a week to get used to it. If they didn’t juggle things around, then we’d still have Windows Explorer from Windows95. And we all know how shitty that was, even though it worked perfectly at the time.

And I have yet to see Vista “not work at all”.

I have fedora 9 and xp pro on a hp 1.8g laptop. All it takes is a LOT of patience and hopefully no firearms nearby and it could be done.

To Cameron about the skills. Well said.

umm, i haven’t had so much of a problem with vista…. sure, with one gig its slow.. but yeah, once i get the 4 gigs of ram that i want (i play games) and a better graphics card (hp doesn’t supply shit) i know it’ll be prolly the best comp ive had. ok, so i went from windows 2000 to vista, but still. Im running vista home basic 32 bit, have a dual core 2.1 ghz amd athlon, idk bout the graphics card, and two sticks of 512 ram. sure, i can’t run sim theme park, but hey, that was made YEARS ago.. i’d still like to play it tho..

Sounds like a bad install. I’ve never, EVER had a problem with Vista.

I have a game which is going on ten years old and works perfectly with Vista.
