I am amazed how blind you are.

 

[DX]

blind ???
Obviously people like you are to stupid to use new technology, go get a
refill cartridge for your typewritter.

 

[Guest]

You call vista a new technology ???? where ?? or maybe im the blind to don't
see the NEW and only see the mem hungry, lack of innovation, slow and
expensive product than vista is ??

XP was not good for everybody 'out of the box'.. now you are beginning to
sound like your 'vistaboys'..

one more thing that people who say XP was not good before service packs:

This is misleading! Xp was very good even without service packs!
It was the attacks that evolved durring its lifetime that forced it to
become more sercure via the service packs... in other words the service
packs are mainly for security patches .. security patches for threats
that did not exist when XP came out!

So how can you say XP was not good when it came out if the threats did not
exist??

This is misleading.. and a bad excuse to try to say "Hey vista will not be
good until a SP1". Nope, XP was good right out of the box,
vista is Crap right out of the box and a service pack cannot change the
reasons why its crap: maily
Bad interface and user experience design (a service pack wont change the
GUI!!!)
and SLOW SLUGGY performance... (dont expect a service pack to make vista
go much faster)

well maybe you are, Vista has lots of new features in it, including UAC,
better memory management, improved UI, smartfetch, readyboost just to start
with!

i'll give you it's a bit expensive, as for slow and memory hungry goes, you
obviously
have rubbish hardware, just because a new os has came out does not mean you
have to run to the shops to buy it
to load on your rubbish hardware, then sit and cry about it. Once you get
the
correct hardware invest in vista the speed and performance is best to date.

oK, let say than is no slow but mem hungry, lack of innovation, buggy and
expensive product than vista is ... i cant give a tons of reasons to say
than vista is not a good product, this could be and should be considering
concept a good, innovating so, but in the way some was lost ...

I have 2gb of ram as I edit a lot of video files & sound files.
I am very happy with the performance of this machine.

10 years ago or so my Win95 machine had about 8mb of RAM I think when I
bought it....this one bought a few months ago came with 2gb.

I can buy 2gb of RAM for about the same cost as 8mb was back then, so I
don't see the problem here?

The overall performance of this machine verses the one 10 years ago is
vastly superior & cost £100 less

blind ???

Let's see...the comment was TOO STUPID:

1. "to stupid"
2. "refill cartridge" sorry, they were ribbons
3. "typewritter"

Care to define, "new technology" in light of the above? Would that
include a spell checker?

Terry,
1. I'm dyslexic, sorry if that is a crime
2. They came in cartridge format to as well as ribbons
3. see 1

Thanks for you strong input though.

DX:

- UAC, five year to give this security solution (a bored confirm any step
???), and why not antivirus (obvously one care is the answer, but with the
price of vista), UAC is a poor protection and most user will disabling, i
already does.

- Better memory management (maybe with superfetch, not smartfetch, but at
this time i don't see any visible improvement, Readyboost: who used, is
better buy more memory, a least 1 GB, 512 is not enounght), and take a lot to
start for this the turn off was replaced for hibernate.

- Expensive, no comments needed.

- Slow and memory hungry, example: in Visual Studio Orcas Beta 1 say than
memory recomended for XP is 350 mb and for vista 750, 400 MB difference only
for SO, you don't thnik than is too much. In my home PC vista run well with 1
GB, but i work with heavier programs, and for my work vista is not an option
today ...

Hi Tiberius,

I'm not here to dispute you, just to share an amusing incident I had. When
I
had Windows 98 my registry got corrupted. Nothing could fix it. ME came
out, so I decided to install it to see it if it could do anything. The
installation
fixed the registry problem. Because of that I like ME, dispite any other
prolems it might have had.

I didn't come into this group for a few days, and now saw that people
are saying exactly the same things I have been crying out for so long, and
have been
called a troll.

Don't worry, you're still a troll.

Ahhh. Here's the big sticker Jay. You've only been here a few days you
say,
so you missed those threads, there haven't been any lately, that had
several staunch Vista supporters insisting that Vista DOES run faster on
identical hardware than XP. The point was Vista is so much better than XP
that it overcame all of the bloat and extra stuff and managed to make apps
run faster.

True, I haven't been here so I was calling from what I saw.
MS's own blurb flies in the face of what you said has been discussed here
before.

[Jay]

Unfortunaly, if you do the amount of work I do on the internet,
viruses and malware do slip in from time to time, even though you may have
the best antivirus apps.
It doesn't happen often, but it does.. and as I said in those cases I
catch them myself.
Plus I have to clean many computers for others, and I can find out the
problem fast...

This PC is connected 24/7 it has been a long time since anything slipped
through.

Wouldn't the install have replaced the registry?

Hi everyone i am not a boffin or pc nerd i have just purchased a new pc
that
came with vista basic what can i say. we are going backwards this os is
crap
after loosing over 3.000 pictures at the click of a button

How did you manage that? Have you checked the recycle bin?

i am going back to
xp. the vista o.s is not user friendly and me and my partner find it hard
if
not impossible to do the basic tasks we used to perform on xp.

What basic tasks are you struggling with? Let us know, maybe somebody could
help.

Jay

I'm still curious, if you hate it sooo much, why do you keep using it???
