    Too lazy to set a custom title

    I got a new computer with Vista and it rocks.

    I got a new computer a week ago and am still getting used to Vista. But so far it is nice. I like the way it looks and some of the features. So far no problems with it.

    The new PC is such a big improvement that I now wonder how I ever got anything done before.

    I'm not sure why I was so resistant to changing over.

              Vista has only gotten a bad rap because of the amount of resources it takes up, most 2-3 year old XP systems could not handle the upgrade.

                  That is what I have read. It seems most of the problems were people with xp upgrading and didn't have enough RAM or processor to handle Vista properly.

                      I guess you should buy something when you need it, but with Windows 7 right around the corner I wouldn't touch vista anymore

                          Most of the bad press Vista got came from people with older PCs or from people who had custom PCs built with a bunch of different parts.

                          If you buy a new PC Vista should work just fine.

                                  I have more than a handfull of PC's and I ordered a new dell with vista for shits and giggles and loved the GUI but loading programs to it was like cutting rubber with a butter knife. I gave the computer to a biz partner for his house. Wait for the new OS, this one is a stinker.

                                              I couldn't really argue with the price. I have a friend that works for Intel and he gets a ton of free stuff. All I had to pay for was memory, the OS and a DVD drive. I also got a new 22 inch LCD monitor when I bought that other stuff. So I got a pretty nice machine for a couple hundred dollars.

                                              I may upgrade to Windows 7 when it comes out if the reviews are good and it seems really stable.

                                                  It will be ok on a desktop, however with a laptop it is a pig. (dual core 1.6ghz wit 2gb ram)
                                                  Everything is more difficult. User Account Control is constantly popping up with security allerts, and ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CLOSE THIS? etc. Its a pain to turn off if you dont know where to look. Windows explorer is sooo cluttered. Configuring a home network is a nightmare if you havent navigated around vista before. Just plain cluttered... waitin for windows 7!

Vista Ultimate on there now and no issues, no problems. I have plenty of resources and vista doesn't use them all up. I use programs that are some of the most resource intensive, and have no issues. But I could go back to xp, and maybe downgrade hardware to stuff that is old and only works with XP still I guess... lol

Vista Ultimate on there now and no issues, no problems. I have plenty of resources and vista doesn't use them all up. I use programs that are some of the most resource intensive, and have no issues.

Fixing shit all day was my job. You're what is called an end user. Other than laptops I have never purchased a pre-assembled computer.

                                                                                                                              I don't dislike Vista. My desktop is running Vista 64. I am just correcting the inaccuracies that you spew in every Mac or Vista related thread.

                                                                                                                              I started with a TRS-80 too but I don't see how that's relevant to the thread. We're both geeks, that's already pretty evident.
                                                                                                                              Im just trying to figure out what inaccuracies I spewed. Inaccurate to who? Because I don't make things up. Maybe I am just in the lucky minority that doesn't have any issues with vista and is very happy with it. Probably happiest I've ever been with an OS so far.
