ok, I was thrilled when I was able to install and use VISTA last year (you
know the RC1 version) the OS worked great, I noticed the difference in
everything, and to my surprise everything except NERO worked. Then came
BLACK JANUARY. The day that the public commercial official release of vista
came to being. That was the day that the commercial from MAC joked about the
upgrade failing and PC leaving all his perrephials to MAC.
That was also the day I went out and bought my Home Premium version, only
cost me 300$ (this is important, keep track of the dollar figures as they
rise) That was also the day that even after upgrading my drivers, my 800$
sound card had it's purpose in life changed to a somewhat large ninja
throwing star, as the only sound it plays is the annoying windows start-up
jingle, then it won't work with media player and sometimes will work for
about 5 minutes with media center. (if I restart my computer and touch
nothing else) My 2 x 450$ video cards well what can I say, video suchs.
so here I sit with a external sound controller with will probably end up
being a coaster for my dogs dish, sound card as well as video cards becoming
ninja stars, and extremely disappointed with the improvements that were made
from the RC1 release to the run out and buy release. I am pretty sure I
didn't suggest making the system so that everything I did, every program I
opened (windows programs as well) had to be opened as an administrator, ohh
and I also have to click allow cause you never know I might not want Media
center to run, as I couldn't be sure of the originator.
My 4 gb of ram, 3gb processor, multi LCD SCREENS all look nice, and I can
remember the day they all worked fine. So here I must ask the simplist of
questions; can you uninstall VISTA and go back to XP without losing
everything, or is it now time to accept defeat and start shopping for a MAC??
