about time... :2 cents:

hmmmm very interesting....

they have been doing this for quite some time

since vista started being preinstalled actually

I did it 3-4 months ago on my dads new desktop

i called them and they took care of it all on the phone, very nice about it too

edit: ah, read the whole thing now, they are giving a downgrade disc out...wish I had that at the time

I am using vista i am curious to know what problems you and anyone else has/is having with it?
I noticed a couple of funny things with it.

Finaly they came to their senses.

i'm not installing it unless someone points a gun at my head :2 cents:

Dam straight! I hate vista. 1.) it's so memory intensive 2.) it's sooooooo fucking slow

hm so good... I never had Vista on my computer.... I think that it´s needlessly fot tacky customer... XP is cool..

I just picked up a gateway PC to have kicking around for internet and misc shit (media, etc) for home.. it has vista installed.. does all the same shit as XP did.. looks the same what are the issues that people are even having?

I can see corporate customers not wanting to make the switch.. but the average PC user doing interwebs, music/video and word processing.....

fuck vista.

At last they realise it sucks balls...

It has a much better visual appeal than xp but mine came preinstalled and anyway i have only ever used windows so i don't have anything else besides microsoft products to compare it with!

vista = complete failure

That's cool, been thinking about getting a new Viao, but didn't want to deal with Vista

try doing anything on it that requires the full use of the processor and memory

or better yet, leave it on for a week straight, by the end of that week it will crawl

I have an athlon x2 dual core chip and 4gb of ram and it still SUCKED for me

I need a new laptop, and having to deal with vista is one of the things I don't want to do.

I hear Vista blows. Glad I kept XP.

Same thing is said about every new release they come up with.

I was thinking the same thing, and finally said fuck it... I'll just get another laptop in a year, anyways.

Old news...

Vista sucks ....big time

Vista works perfectly for me. More than anything the problems are related to halfwit users, not the OS.

I knew that!

Let's see.
(Non-OEM)
Vista Business costs: $299.
Vista Ultimate costs: $399.
XP Pro costs: $288.

Of course, if you get the OEM version, which these companies already have site licenses for, it's no extra expense to them.. so, great, you can buy your system, then reformat and reinstall it so you can use it!

They should call it an upgrade to xp.

Which one? Windows NT 3 and 4 were great from their first release. Win2K was great too. The same I could say about XP. Yes, it had a lot of bugs before SP1 but it was a good system in general. On the other hand, almost a year passed from first release of Vista. Has it been improved a bit since that time? Course it hasn't!

And a finger is better than a cock :1orglaugh

I have Vista on my laptop. Works fine for me.

We are at a personal computing stage right now where a computer that is five years old can do 99% of the things that a brand new one can do. Unless you are gaming or need it for intensive business use, why does anyone buy a new computer these days? It's completely unnecessary.

That's why I think Vista was a conspiracy of sorts between Microsoft and the PC makers. If regular software is no longer making computers obsolete, then the next logical step is to create an OS that you need a brand new computer to operate.

Actually a smart move on MS part. Get the sheep to downgrade their PCs to XP then later when they HAVE to change to Vista charge them for it when they could have had it already for FREE.

Nigga please. Are you FORCED into getting Vista? No. So are you FORCED into getting a new PC? No. If you get a new PC will it have Vista? Yes. Is it powerful enough to handle Vista? Yes. Why? Not because it HAS to be powerful enough because computer get more powerful and cheaper by the day.

3 1/2 years ago I paid $1100 for my computer. 2 years later my friend got one slightly more powerful for $350 cheaper. Today a $300 wal-mart computer is more powerful. Go look at an ad for a computer from 20 years ago and see what you got for $2000.

Vista blows. NOTHING works. The thousands I've spent on software are useless. (I have one program that cost $4000 and it doesn't work). My large format printers, vinyl cutters, regular printers, Dymo labeler.... the list goes on..... none of it works in Vista.

do a Google search for "Vista sucks".....

doesn't appear to be a very popular product from MS.

That's not Vistas fault. Blame the company that you paid $4000 to. companies had PLENTY of time to make sure their hardware and software were Vista capable. If they aren't that's not MS fault. Quit hating.

Nope, not people who understand computers.

But what about the average user who is strolling through Best Buy and sees that slick looking version of Windows (Vista) on all the computers? THAT is what is making the sale.

The problem is not the software I bought, or the hardware I use. ALL of it works perfectly. The problem is that piece of shit Vista. Why the fuck should I have to buy all new hardware and software just to be able to use Vista? And none of the hardware companies are updating the drivers to Vista, because EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM I asked about it said "Vista sucks and it won't last long. Stick with XP."

Which I gladly did.

So you can keep your goofy fucking operating system with the fancy flipping windows. It's idiots like you that support that kind of shitting engineering that make it difficult for the rest of us.

Get over yourself Gator.... you got ripped off by Microsoft. Move on. Defending Vista is getting you nowhere. The rest of the world already knows it's a piece of shit.

i just returned my Laptop to Dell, i dont ever want to see that Vista system again..!!!

You work for Microsoft, loser :321GFY

80% of people polled didn't want Vista, but i'm sure 100% of MSFT shareholders wanted Vista LOL.
