    laptops + Vista = fcuking piece of $&%s

    Sorry just had to vent .. 3 month old lappy with absolutely nothing but issues and grief ..salvaging what I can and reformatting .... please be warned .. stay away from ANY HP and Vista combo .. the list goes on and on with the issues and screw ups with a computer that was released before it was anywhere near ready to work with Vista .. stay away .. could be cutting Steve Jobs a check by morning ..

              I just bought a cheap $400 Acer laptop that came with Vista. Needless to say it's running XP now...

                  It does seem most of the complaints come from the brand.

                            Why you would own something that gives you so much grief I'll never know.
                            The Vista threads are so sad.

                                I have no problems with Vista. When I started, there were teething issues. But actually haven't had a problem since I reinstalled and got everything right. Not saying Mac isn't better. I wouldn't know ... I have yet to use the latest OS. ... but in all honesty, I can't warrant the price of a Mac right now. They're WAY more expensive than PC's.

                                        you can always get a refurbished MAC for far less. same warranty and support. Know of a few people who did that and have yet to have a problem.

                                        Macs have also come down in price...

                                          Guys, again, if you're going to buy hardware from ANY manufacturer you need to make sure you can run Win XP on it if it was designed to run Vista. When you come up empty handed because it contains new hardware that has no XP compatible driver you will continue to have similar experiences over and over. Going back to 2001 I saw the same thing with people whining about installing Windows ME instead of accepting that it was an XP machine and then bitching about the resulting hardware issues.

                                              Vista is by far the best OS so far.

                                                My 3 month old laptop from Del works great on Vista Premium, make sure your running at least 2 gig's of ram
                                                Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                                think about that

                                                    laptop - a useful thing.
                                                    vista - a piece of shit.

                                                            $400? So i guess the thing has only half a gig of ram, right?....

                                                              Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                                              think about that

                                                                            Also to the people with Vista issues. STOP USING OLD SOFTWARE and you'll be fine. I know it sucks that the program you illegally downloaded 12 months ago is not compatible but meh.. c'est la vie!
