Is Vista really that fucking horrible?

12-13-2007, 09:34 AM

Just got a new machine with Vista on it.

Everything is easy to find. Connecting to the network took 5 seconds. Aero interface runs flawlessly.

I am the king of operating system procrastination.. this is the *first* time since WINDOWS 3.1 that I have been running Microsoft's latest operating system.

So whats all the fuss about?

A lot of times it is the machine that pisses people off rather then Vista. You can't run Vista that great on 1-2 gigs of ram once you add in other applications etc.

I found it works fine on a machine that comes with it installed - Its when you try and install it yourself that it turns to crap for some reason.

Do a search. We have this topic every single week...twice.

It basically comes down to this:

Most people bash Vista because its cool to do. They havent even tried it out. Then you have a few people who tried it but have no clue how to tweak. Then there is this small group, of which im part of, who installed, tweaked it and now have a perfect OS. An OS which is very stable, works fast and on top of that looks very nice.

I've been using Vista for a couple of weeks and I wouldn't say it's better or worse than XP, but it looks better.

My girlfriend installs it multiple times a week on multiple laptops and then starts the process over...depending on the training classes they are running that week. She has yet to have any issues or complaints.

I'd go with her opinion or advice before I went with any other advice found on the web, especially GFY.

Not at all ... we run two Vista Ultimate systems here and both have dual core with 2gb ram and they both run blisteringly fast with lots of apps open. Not a problem

The main gripes I've heard about VISTA are from:

IT people because the security is a nuisance, at first, nothing insurmountable.

Developers, because you have to code differently. It's no so easy to write to the registry or to Program Files, so you have to write to the user temporary files.

Gamers because it initially presented some problems with their high end games.

But, yeah, buy four Gigs of RAM if you're a power user.

With enough RAM and MHz it's not that bad.

Yes, it is such a resource hog and there is really no point in upgrading to vista other than DX10. Microsoft will try to force everyone to upgrade for obvious motives (money) and no more.

What did you do to tweak it? Any advice to enhance the overall performance? My gf has vista on her notebook and it's kinda slow, even with 2 gigs of ram.

I hear Vista is slow, even with gobs of RAM, but I don't know for sure, since I run XP. Maybe I was misinformed.

For me, there is no incentive to risk it. I just ordered XP on my new box.

There is one thing that is for certain though: Microsoft sucks donkey balls and rips off its customers. Vista is waaaaay overpriced as a result of Microsoft's illegal monopoly.

I like Vista's interface, but it makes being an "advanced" user trickier. I would use it if it worked more reliably with Vegas and whatnot.

The real question:

Leopard vs. Vista! Any thoughts on that? (I have a friend who is dual-booting Leopard via a Linux emulator and he's completely sold on it.)

I havnt had any issues with it, but all I do with it is test sites in IE, and play a couple games. Rest of my time is in OSX or linux.

Aero is kinda dumb looking IMHO.

People werent kidding when they bitch about the crazy amount of dialogs that pop up asking for permission to perform every little action though. I would probably get annoyed if I used Vista as my primary os.

I have to admit that I did so. Shame on me.

I bought a notebook last week which came with Vista and it´s really like Frank said. Running without problems, fast and it´s easy to use if you are familiar with XP. Some features have changed a little bit, but you´ll find everything without reading a manual.

The only problem is that there is some software which doesn´t work with Vista and updates are not available for every software at this time, but that´s not a disadvantage of Vista.

When I bought the notebook I first wanted to downgrade to XP, but after giving Vista a try I changed my mind.

Because people just have to bitch about something. Haters saying that XP is better are the same ones that said XP sucked 6 years ago. Of course Linux geeks think everyone is a computer nerd and Mactards want more cult members to assuage their inferriority complex they outwardly show as a superiority front.
