Microsoft Gives Up On Vista

[ulun64]

I try Vista for a week and I hate it. The only great thing about Vista is the interface only. I can't imagine got ppls like Vista just becos of interface alone. If you like nice interface go for MacOSX.

Vista already out for more than a year and still a lot of ppls refuse to upgrade. Finally Vista is dying.

i like vista, have had far less problems with the switch from xp to vista, than the switch from 98 to xp. some people just don't like change,

Is it true that Vista has a heap of 'Media Protection Mechanisms' where it searches through your drive for less than legal stuff and phones home about it?

Just the thought of that makes me break out in a sweat...


Off topic, FST is such a cool site! This is the only board I have seen where a Vista discussion didn't turn into a religious war..

i really don't know what is the problem with vista use vista from the first retail release and every thing work great games program and etc... yes at the bigging there ware a driver problem but its gone now. i have no crashes no error every thing work and not only simple programs also complex ones . you know what is say its not the OS that have problem its the ppl brains that have problems. and you must understand there will never be a perfect OS (code). and every new thing will have bug compatibly problems and error. its the same story with every windows ms releases 95,98,98se,me,2000 etc... every time every body screen its the worst windows ever and then a new ver comes out the old one because great and the new one start to suck.

peace out ppl

Today I got my self a new quad core pc with all the bells and whistles. Windows Vista 64bit. I got it home set it all up and was expecting the worse as I'd bee using XP for a long time. And also worried about transfering all my shit to a 64bit system. And its been a piece of cake. The only problem i've had is with bloody Itunes. And i'm really Impressed with vista it seems stable quicker than xp. and it looks pretty. I wont be going back to XP

First, I'll be honest, I'm still running xp on my machine, I've tried dual booting vista RC2 and windows, just to get a feel of it, but once the beta was over, I kept my xp OS. I simply made too many tweaks and modifications to make just as I like to totally scrap it and start over

I think the main reason nobody loves vista is because it is different, like many already said. The same happened with xp, the same happens everywhere (cs1.5 vs 1.6, cs1.6 vs cs:s if anyone is gaming a little )

We can see the change from xp to vista as the change from office 2003 to 2007. I personaly made the effort to get used to the new interface and now that I'm familiar with it, I can assure you that my productivity has increased and things are much easier.

However, I think the main problem with vista is the delays and the cuts. Where is that new revolutionary file system they promised ? Where is that added security ?
I think Windows 7 can be a success if they can manage to respect those expectations.

all MS prods have bloat ware . but vista has some exclusive share

Great, Vista is only graphics nothing more.

XP will always be the best

I agree, think most people do not have the extra RAM to run Vista , thats why they have problems? Runs real smooth, so far. We will see.

lol @ article and linux noob that wrote it.

true_neo said it all. this is clearly a biased article, and it's worth crap.

i've Vista Ultimate X64 and it runs smooth and hiperfast on my machine, uninstalled windows XP forever, and not coming back to it.

i've a fairly powerful machine (c2d e8400 @ 4,3ghz @ 4gb ram @ 7950gx2) and it certainly runs smooth, no drivers incompatibility at all, the online driver database works flawlessly, it makes a way better usage of the ram compared to XP, which simply doesn't use the RAM for anything and lets it stay unused there waiting for the bus...

soon i'll try out on my home seedbox server 2008, as i am really curious about it. that machine runs windows 2k3 and i love that OS.
