    Micro soft giving up on Vista???

    http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/01/08/m...rss_topstories


    ..........Ballmer announced that Microsoft is releasing a beta version of Windows 7, which will be available for download beginning Friday. The news suggests the world's largest software maker may be giving up efforts to rehabilitate its often-maligned Vista operating system, which was released worldwide in January 2007.

    where are all the vista lovers now?

      Giving up? I doubt it. I think they'll just keep overlapping OS's all the time at this point. Bring out a new system every year or two, differing versions of the same thing every 6 months. Just pollute the market with their stuff so heavily that people feel that's all they have to choose from is some flavour of windows.

          Everyone I know the runs Vista has been having no problems with it at all.

          Of course, I don't know anyone trying to make 5 year old sound cards work under it either, so maybe that's why.

              They peaked when they did Windows 2000 in my opinion. Now they're just reworking the OS to push onto the market every 1-2 years. What real advancements have come out since Windows 2000 that have made a significant impact?

                      For most people that's already true because they don't have a choice in the
                      store. All the computers come with windows and most people don't know about
                      installing another OS.

                      If you ask the store tech if another OS is available the answer is always no,
                      then (whisper : you have to go online to find one ).

                                  I use vista, even things on my laptop like the touchpad fuck up because they conflict with it. and the layout is totally shit.

                                  Non vista related but... the new IE is fucking terrible aswell!

                                  Thinking of backing everything up on a usb drive, formatting it and loading up linux.

                                  Or maybe try 7 when it comes out.

                                  Eitherway vista is ok but unreliable and a pain in the ass!

                                              Vista works great for me, and I do serious computer abuse with 3D animation and After Effects compositing + editing.

                                              It works fine and is a decent operating system. People don't know what the fuck they're talkin about.

                                                  I've personally never used Vista. And I really think there's a VERY low market penetration of Vista down here in Brazil.

                                                  I'm just a newbie.

                                                      Man I built a brand new PC with pretty much top of the line stuff maybe a year ago at most. I tried to use vista on it and had nothing but trouble. I ended up going back to XP.

                                                          the smart thing was to continue with XP, skip right over Vista, and wait for a few months after windows7 gets released

                                                              Vista looks pretty, but I've had nothing but annoying issues with it, most notably with networking. I refuse to switch from XP until I have to on my other systems.

Truth is XP is enough for most people and they don't need to upgrade. So I seriously doubt Win7 is going to sell like hotcakes, I predict Steve B. Throwing more chairs soon...

                                                                                  There's just no need for Vista. What a clusterfuck. It was originally supposed to use some whizbang new file system which would make it something special, but because they couldn't get that working properly they decided to just stick a bunch of bells on it and spend money on marketing rather than development. It's a complete joke.

                                                                                                                                  I never had such problems with XP, nor has anyone else i know, ever.

                                                                                                                                  However i know plenty of people with Vista issues. So case closed, XP should stay, vista should go....& we should all wait for windows 7.

I know Gateway, you have to be kidding. No I'm not. I bought it because Gateway built their systems around Vista, unlike most comp manufacturers that built their systems and then loaded Vista and worked out the bugs.
