Re: Vista - not so full of fail [Re: Shroomism]

The problem here sounds like your copy of XP.

My laptop had vista, crashed all the time, even had sp1. Now it has a bootlegged (I'm not giving a penny to that company, and with this laptop and it's subsidy, they paid me money) copy of XP and runs fine.

Yeah I have cracked copy of XP and Vista, figured I would try out Vista. I haven't had any problems so far so I'm liking it. Most the features I don't care about, but the one thing I do really like about Vista is Superfetch. All the programs I regularly use load up fast as hell, and restarts are really fast. Haven't noticed any FPS drop or performance issues in games either so over all pretty happy with it.

Anyone remember back when XP was first released and EVERYONE hated it because it had shitloads of security errors?  Then they went away with the first and second service packages and everyone was praising XP, and tossing 2000 out the window, which months earlier they were praising over XP.

Same thing is going on with Vista hehe. :smile:

It wouldn't be as bad though if Windows 7 wasn't coming out so soon.  It makes Vista's life look pointless.

I hate Vista with a vengeance. If i could meet the people responsible for that mess, i would beat them unmercifully.

I'm a tech at a large community college and one day we were talking about Vista and a guy I worked with started talking smack about it, I asked him if he had ever used it and of course he said no.

I'm willing to bet that 90% of the people who talk shit about it have never used it or have never used it more than a couple times. Another 8% are probably hard core linux users who hate all M$ products no matter what and the last 2% are people who have tried it and genuinely just like XP better.

I installed it last summer and yes it did have quite a few problems, I went back to XP after about a month of using it. Then I installed it, I believe it was last December and even before SP1 there were drastic improvements. I'm now running with SP1 and a few tweaks and I love it. I think it boots up faster, and recovers from crashes way better than XP.

In XP if you had to open task manager and end a non responsive program or process it could take a very long time. With Vista I rarely have to open task manager to end processes, if something starts to crash Vista 9 times out of 10 will recover on it's own.

no difference with what I've seen in XP, only reason I ever open
taskman is to demonstrate my impatience in not wanting to wait the
30 seconds for it to recover, nrmally I can kill it with just a
right click but most times I dont have non-response issues

The taskman also has a shit ton better montioring tools and statistics built in on Vista then any previous version.  You know, the 'performance' tab on the taskman window that pops up.

I'm sorry but vista is superior.  I could go on and on and I *AM* the linux guy who hates all MS products.

Of course, Vista only belongs on a desktop.  Never on a server.  But fuck XP.

I hate M$ stuff myself but for some reason my current system
rejects ever build of linux and I'm sure that Vistas task man
doesnt have the most important tool for dealing with windows OSs

I havent read the thread, but your BIOS couldve been making XP have intermittent problems like you were describing. Alot of newer machines are made specifically for Vista. I dont know how many I would get for repairs (worked at a Toshiba facility) that were due to people trying to use XP, when the BIOS doesnt support it. I fucking hate BIOS, it can even make your cooling fan(s) run constantly if not updated, lol.

When is SP2 coming out? I have some propblems and compatablity issues I'd like worked out. Sometimes I can't install certain updates.

IMO the jury is still out on Vista. And I am a little pissed that W7 is coming next year. :kingcrankey:

I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW!

If it weren't for your addiction to games, you'd love the performance of the 64 bit version.

Yeah, Vista has problems that even MS can't fix so it has to be re-installed every 6 months or so, but I'll never go back to the doggedly slowness of a 32 bit OS.

You should give Linux a try. If I can't have my mac, Linux is the best alternative for me. I run a computer business that services the IT needs of small businesses. A lot of them are buying new machines with Vista which causes me more headaches than I can account for. I don't think I could ever jump of the "anti vista bandwagon" as someone put it. In fact, it's getting harder all the time to fully support my customers as I don't have a Vista machine to play with, break myself, and fix...Nor will I ever have one.

What was wrong with it for you?

You've used it... right?

The only thing that I didn't like about vista right off the bat was the new audio control panel.  I wish the bass and treble were easier to access, and I wish you could switch it to view by input rather than by program.
