FUCK VISTA! Formatting my laptop and getting XP on it

05-25-2007, 07:57 AM

Today I got pissed off when my Vista on my DV9000 series laptop froze on me. Fuck it, am installing XP right now.

HP has very poor driver support for Vista, especially for the 7600 Go videocard. Maybe some day I'll upgrade, but probably not in the next 2 years

When something from Microsoft actually works I stick with it. I have no interest in moving to Vista from XP either...

Vista works reasonably well for me, but I'm still mainly using XP, because a few apps/hardware devices don't work yet(on Vista) and it hogs more resources than xp. It's the future though and maybe in 6 months - 1 year I will be using it primarily.

I have a Vaio with Vista on it. Sending it back today (because of issues with Sony, not Vista though Vista crashed at least once a day). Alienware still has laptops you can order XP on - already ordered mine

So what your realizing is its the 3rd party companies not creating proper drivers and not the OS that is the actual problem eh?

Just take a look at IE 7 and compare it with FF ! I am sorry but I think Microsoft doesn´t use the shit they produce at home, otherwise they would notice what crap they sell right now. Vista ? Hell, I will install it in about 1-2 years but not before.

I did the same thing on my new laptop. It took a couple hours to get all the drivers working properly but the install is flawless now. Just google which drivers you're missing and you can install them.

Yeah it needed a lot of tweaking before i liked it but that doesnt make it a bad product.

I don't remember that time, because I was using NT while the others were fucked by 95/98. After that I went to Win2K while other were fucked with WinMe and buggy release of XP. On only then XP got it's 2nd service pack and m4 stopped support of Win2k I moved to XP. As far as I know, m$ is going to support XP till 2011, so I have at least 3 years to enjoy the good and sable OS and don't worry about anything

I tweaked my vista and have virtually no problems now, with the extra power I have with vista, I'll keep it

Webair died?
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

Good luck finding fully functioning drivers. The hardware was SLIGHTY changed to take advantage of vista's floating graphics system.. but just enough so XP drivers wont be fully operational.

Vista is eyecandy, that's it. If I wanted to use a pretty OS I'd be using a mac. The annoyances are abound in Vista too... most of the "advanced" security features you have to disable just to get a usable OS. The hassles just are not worth it imo. Granted, XP wasn't a rock-solid release but I bought and used XP essentially from the first retail week it was released, after playing around with different builds months before. Vista? Fuck it, I’ve used it and absolutely detest it. If Vista gets better in a year I'll consider it, but for now there is no incentive whatsoever for me to upgrade.

That's another thing my clients hear out of my mouth a lot lol. But it's true. The OS is fine aside from one common glitch. When the computers, laptops especially due to more limited graphics capabilities, go to screen savers or to sleep mode and you get back to your desktop there's a chance of explorer "half" crashing and the entire windows tray bar disappearing.

I'm confident that once more "big box" store computers and laptops start carrying way better integrated graphics cards that the problem will be resolved though because of how all graphics in Vista are an actual layer.. or "program" as some could say that runs atop the operating system itself as oposed to being integrated into the kernal like all OS' prior to Vista.

I explain that to customers and how to get the drivers running smooth and alternatives to the computer manufacturer's drivers base that make a world of difference. They leave happy and loving Vista

Hmmmm, I remember those days

I installed XP and was never happier in my life. After WinMe that crashed all the time, XP seemed to be God.

That's pretty much the right idea. Vista looks nice and all, but it's nice ready for prime time.

I can't say it looks nice either. The OS must be fast, look straight and reliable. The new visual interface of Vista is just boring for my eyes.

Ok, so after couple of hours configuring which driver would go on XP on this vista-optimized laptop, I am set. And it NEVER worked faster then now.

On Vista, all it took was 2 video conversions and you couldn't do anything else, just had to wait. Now I'm editing 3 videos and installing a game.
