Windows Vista - SUCKS

[Tiberius]

I LOVE YOU!

I have said the same exact things for months here...

If only you were here you would have listened to my warnings and avoided
Vista da crap!

 

[Tiberius]

stop the lies!!!!!

Vista CANNOT outperform XP on any machine under ANY circumstance!

 

[Frank]

people who dont have problems with vista use their computers only to browse
the web and play solitaire...

Easy there malakus! That's a general staement that's simply not true.

anyone who is doing complex work on vista MUST have run into a multitude of
problems...

Not in our comp[any. Care to name the 'multitude of problems"

I droped vista for a work enviorment.. it sucked big time

What "work" are you involved in?

and no it had nothing to do with drivers.. it was just too slow!

Really! You're sure of that statement.

I installed XP to get my work done! LOL

Windows Vista - SUCKS!

Maybe you suck? Pousties?

justin cant say anything now.. this is clearly not a troll but someone
(one of thousands)
that just think.. vista sucks...

and its true!

Actually, I did say something and my question remains unanswered.

 

[Justin]

you blew what away??
you got called out repeatedly and you --ran away-- like the coward little
bitch that you are, like you -always- do, like you'll do again

Run away? I've been here the whole time. Keep grasping for those straws!

 

[Justin]

stop the lies!!!!!

Vista CANNOT outperform XP on any machine under ANY circumstance!

False.

 

[Justin]

Hello,

I believe the only people that like vista are concentrated in this
newsgroup.. LOL

because EVERYONE I know that has tried vista hates it!

Oh, by all means if everyone YOU know has a problem then there you have it!

EVERYONE has problems

False.

 

[Frank]

stop the lies!!!!!

Vista CANNOT outperform XP on any machine under ANY circumstance!

Oh really?
So you've tested Vista on all machines under all circumstances?
Is that correct? Cuase that's what you're saying, right?
You know something capin' crunch...you've been posting your hyperbole
bullshit long enough in this ng that almost everyone here knows you're
either mentally deranged or totally incompetent and just looking for
attention.
Basically, no one believes one word of your lying diatribes!
Yasu.

Lets see...you're hiding (living as you call it) in your moms basement
and the only friend you have is the pizza delivery guy, correct? Now he
just learned how to use the cash register and when you talk to him about
Vista he nods his head in agreement cause he wants a bigger tip than the
..50 cents you normally give him.
Basically, you don't know or socialize (at all) with anyone (period) who
knows what Vista is.
Isn't that the truth (no lying, ok)?
Frank

 

[Frank]

I LOVE YOU!

Uhhh...you said the same thing to the pizza guy the other night, right?
At least that's what you told us, correct?
Give him a bigger tip and I'm sure he'll bend over with happiness!

Hey Rita1107...First of all please repost this question as a start to a new
thread as most people will not see it unless they actually read the
particular post that you and I responded to....It would also not hurt to
crosspost in vista.hardware_devices....That way more people who know the
answer can respond ...It is always best to to do this and narrow down to the
correct answer....These links that I have put in should help you to
connect,,install and format your new drive for your system....Please post
back as to how it went

http://computershopper.com/howto/200703_build_your_own_external_hard_drive_2

Also I should state for the record that I had built my machine for Vista and
did not upgrade....Anything of any importance I had transferred onto an
external hard drive and then reinstalled afterwards but they were not
programs persay but music and photos.....As for my games I simply bit the
bullett and reinstalled from scratch...The ONLY complaint I have with Vista
is it takes more power to get the same speed that xp has....My old machine
had 2 gigs of ddr ram in it and my new machine has 4 gigs of ddr2
ram....Now definitively I cannot compare the 2 but I know that if I was
running XP with this machine I would be wasting power as XP simply does not
require it the way Vista does......Just my 3 cents...I hope I have
helped.............Have a good one

stop the lies!!!!!

Vista CANNOT outperform XP on any machine under ANY circumstance!

K, I don't usually respond to childish flaming or flame-like posts, but
I don't particularly appreciate being called a liar. So I suppose you
personally have tested both OS's on every manufactured machine with every
possible hardware configuration and available driver, in order to make such
a statement? ...Didn't think so...

I stand completely behind my statement. Vista starts faster, shuts down
faster, opens and closes programs faster, browses faster than my copy of XP
on the same machine with the same hardware configuration. I multitask
heavily when using any of the 7 OS's, (Including Suse Linux), I have
installed on my various computers, and Vista (Ultimate) has been great, for
me anyway. I like XP, hence the reason I dual boot, but I happen to like
Vista as well. Can't help it if on MY machine Vista runs great, when others
seem to have problems, and in many ways out performs, yes I'll say it again,
"out performs" XP.

Ok I have said enough. As I have seen in these forums, I am most likely
wasting my time saying anything more than, I'm not a liar, and don't
appreciate being called one. Flame-On? Nope, don't bother. I'm done with
this.

Cheers

"Everyone HATES Vista."
Absolutely FALSE, and strong evidence this is a troll post and little
more.

More evidence:
"After just a couple of weeks working on it, and having problem after
problem, I started asking everyone"
Instead you should have been asking HP to fix your problems or return
the computer for a refund.
Now it is probably too late for a refund since it seems you did
nothing.

"It crahes a lot, really a lot. It is very unstable"
That is indicative of a hardware problem or possibly a bad Windows
installation.
What has HP tech support said when you asked them?

"You will regret it."
Wrong again, Windows Vista works well on two of my older computers.

You may be better off starting a new thread in an appropriate
newsgroup giving details of your problems so someone can help.

 

[John Wesley Asquith]

Sounds like a radical solution to a fairly straight-forward problem.
But sell your new computer and buy another one if you must.

This is not to say that Vista doesn't SUCK, which it does in many ways,
but it is not the hardware's fault.

Would you like to supply proof that backs your statement, because the
millions who do see better all round performance will be bemused by what you
say..

what you say..

Well Mike, I would have liked to have done a test myself, as I just built
a new PC for my mother-in-law. (Would an AMD64 3600+ w/1Gig of RAM have
qualified ?)

Here's the problem(s) I saw with doing a test though.

The amount of time involved, for me, would be enormous.

First, I'd have to write a test plan.

Second, I'd have to try to find all of the latest drivers for each piece
of hardware. Not a problem, but if these drivers were not MS 'certified',
which probably would have been the case, some would cry that the test
results don't count because they weren't certified drivers.

Third, what to use to measure performance. Since 'seems to' and 'I get
the impression' will absolutely not be recognized as valid, benchmarking
s/w would need to be used. So now you will have many people crying that
the benchmark software is just that, and that's not really how a PC
functions in real life.

Then, there would have to be 2 tests, one side by side 'out of the box'
test between XP and Vista, and then another after each OS gets tweaked as
best as can be.

Now, each and every tweak would need to be listed for each OS, in exact
detail. This would need to be done to keep people quiet.

The entire excercise would also need to be video-taped, un-edited, as to
prevent anyone form claiming that something else was done/modified which
affected (either) system which wasn't shown, which would make the tests
invalid.

I did consider it, but after realizing that most of the regulars here
would not believe any test results, no matter how well-documented and
methodical the tests are done.

So after all is said and done, no matter how much work would be put into
the testing and how valid the procedures really were, it would mean
nothing.

To take it even further, even if XP did come out on top, the results
would mean nothing anyway, since that would be attributed to 'well it's
only one machine', XP may be faster on that particular machine.

So, a big waste of time, unless a minimum of 10 PCs were involved with
vastly different hardware devices between them.

those 2 reasons are the exact same ones why I have not done it too!

1) It needs a large amount of time to do it right...
2) Even if you do it, vistaboys will still shrug you off! Finding excuses...

you cant win... and even if you provide valid proof.. what do you have to
gain from it?

More people would accept it then you think. However, when submitting your
negative feedback you better have FACTS to go with it. Starting with a FULL
list of hardware and proof of CERTIFIED drivers. Then and ONLY then will
Vista have failed you. Or any OS for that matter.

Oh really?
So you've tested Vista on all machines under all circumstances?
Is that correct? Cuase that's what you're saying, right?

and why not? you've already claimed to have run nearly all known software on
Vista without problems.
let me refresh your short memory:

from: Re: Anyone able to run Vista successfully?
"Well guess what! I use 3 installs of Vista Ultimate as the primary
computers in my small marketing/advertising business. I have just about
every known software loaded and working perfectly."
- Frank

Oh really??
see? we can do it too...
LOL
I will be anxiously awaiting your witty reply where you try to tell us you
didn't say this, and that I just made it up...

You know something capin' crunch...you've been posting your hyperbole
bullshit long enough in this ng that almost everyone here knows you're

attention.

it's amazing how the group's pet pipsqueaks like you and Justin always
manage to perfectly describe your own actions here when addressing
others....

you mean like you do?

so, how's that gerbil tracking app you wrote coming along?
