... last time I checked there was a shitload of people pissed off with vista.. thats why they came up with Win7 rather quickly and made all those videos where they showed that "El camino" or whatever the fuck the mock OS was called and then they told them it was vista....Now, if you remember WinMe.. that was a total failure and MSFT didn't pull it off the shelves... they left it there and came up with a upgrade to that OS...
Also, I was rather happy with vista till it started to use 80-100 cpu every time I farted...

People have problems running XP too. Most of the time it has nothing to do with the OS. A simple motherboard driver might have fixed your problem with Vista. The best thing to do is ask for help on tech forums. It doesn't matter what OS you are running, there's always going to be problems. There's forums for every OS out there, check their forums and you'll find someone with problems.

Yes, the very first version of XP without the SP packages was very fucked up, it didn't even recognize large 1TB hard drives .. that's why I am referring to SP3.
Now as far as the driver thing... not everyone in this board is a total noob u know... I did try upping the drivers and even flashing the BIOS... I checked the CMOS sequence and POST to make sure there was nothing wrong with hardware or power on tests... and yeap.. I did go to a vista/sys builders forum and used hack-this to drop a full profile of all the shit running in the system and there was no indication of what was causing the problem .... I left everyone's balls puzzled over there....
So ... nop, I am not one of those people who jumps to the forums whenever there is a small glitch in the system which may just be "user generated" ....

Win7 is Vista, just as XP is Vista. I love how some people say "VISTA SUCKS!!! But XP is the shit!!!" umm it's pretty much the same OS... Just because MS adds some new stuff and upgrades the core a little bit doesn't make it a whole new OS, it's still based on the NT system.

Yes, win 7 is like vista but they are not using a dumb superfetch system like they did on vista.. they improved the thing to use less memory and work smarter..... they are turning off most of the crap they included in vista to make win 7 more like XP SP3 with visual improvements..... so yeah that "new" stuff that was added from xp to vista was what caused all that bad PR....

Totally agree...
