Why does Windows Vista... - GoFuckYourself.com

Why do they need 4 different versions. Just make one version that fucking works, doesn't have security flaws, and not easy to get spyware.

Granted i'm a mac guy, but cmon. Jesus, I was just looking into getting a new laptop for my wife, and can't believe they are pulling that shit.

How ms got so big is beyond me.

Lyin', cheatin, stealin, buying out the competition, suing the little guy, and oh yeah....They struck a deal to put their operating system in every frickin' computer, that's how.

I wish I was that cleaver

it's a great idea, cause why should someone pay for shit they will never use?

Exactly. The different versions are also geared towards the buyer to make it easier for them.

It's a fucking operating system. Not an application.

I would, but the multiple listing website for real estate won't work. Even in windows mode. The mls site is has the worst coding of anything out there. Not even sure it will work with vista.

LMAO. No they are not, the different versions are so MS can make more money, pure and simple.

Every copy of Vista is the same, ie every DVD has ALL the features on it. The license just determines which is installed. And what's also interesting is that all the features are installed on your machine. So if you install Home Basic, all the features of Ultimate are on your machine, you just can't access them

Actually, there's even more.

OEM versions(system builders) come in either 32bit or 64bit versions, and then you have a special Ultimate signature edition.

It's incredible the number of different versions

leming · 02-01-2007, 04:37 AM

Just because VISTA!

Lykos · 02-01-2007, 06:47 AM

Yup, someone who uses a computer for basic stuff doesn't need a business nor an ultimate package full of stuff that will only scare them from ever touching the thing.

There were patches BEFORE it came out, for the beta versions. First OS ever to do that.

as usual wrong again. The real estate company she is an agent with ( the largest in the nation, but don't want names on gfy) sent out a warning saying DO NOT upgrade to vista, as it wont work with the multiple listing service.

So maybe the ultimate is just barely average.

Here we go with the mac vs ms pissing match.

All I'm saying is if ms would spend more time building a proper os with no security holes, instead of how many ways can we fuck people out of money.

I could give a fuck. mac works for me, ms works for you great. I just don't understand how you can put up with all the bs that goes with it.

Prime example. My wife bought the office suite for her desktop, now whe has to buy it again for her laptop. BS. Most people have both. Aperture for the mac allows you to use it on one laptop and one desktop, just not at the same time. Fair enough. They didn't try to squeeze more blood out of me.
