Vista Ultimate

I've managed to crash Vista within the first 2 hours of loading it. I am in
the process of notifying my employer, my friends, and my enemies on the lack
attention, poor design, and just general instability of this "operating
system." I do not understand how an organization that purports to seekout
the best and the brightist develops such a poor product. I hope Steve B.
knows he should get his $1/2 billion back.

Uh... You didn't try to figure out why it crashed? Bad hardware driver
that Microsoft doesn't supply or program for other manufacturers? Most
likely the case.

Hope you don't give up on a car as easily as you do your OS.

Be careful that your employer, your friends, and your enemies don't learn
something about you from your rants and inability to even try to resolve a
problem before giving up, instead of learning the message you wanted them to
learn.

And yet thousands of users -- including me -- have had the opposite
experience.
Every OS has its share of detractors, so I wouldn't consider your experience
to necessarily be indicative of the quality of the OS itself.
Do you like XP? Are you going back to it? Win 98? Are you saying Vista is
worse than those OSes? And yet those OSes had their detractors as well.

I wonder what it is that results in thousands of Vista users having a
trouble-free experience while thousands of others don't. Since it's working
well for some, it's obviously not the OS. Probably something specific to the
user and/or the user's setup.

I'm not shilling for MS. I have a lot to criticize about the company. But if
the OS is working for thousands if not millions of users, then the problems
you're having are not specific to the OS.

Care to tell us more about your system? What was happening when it crashed?
Any inkling of trouble before it befell you?

I hope that your employer and friends don't begin to
mistrust you after comparing your Vista report with
the success stories of millions of others. I think you
should have done a little more due diligence on this.

I haven't loaded Vista yet and I plan to wait probably until the first SP. I
am perturbed by the many comments concerning instability. Of all the
comments after XP went gold I recall that most complaints were followed by a
"..it is more stable than Win98 or Me." or "...it doesn't crash nearly as
often as Win 98." All of my many apps that ran under Win 98 ran with XP. It
seems to me that Vista should accommodate any (or most) apps that ran in XP.
From these initial responses/complaints I'm beginning to get the impression
that Vista has problems with many legacy apps and hardware. I'm usually
standing in line for the new MS OS - I think I'll adopt a more prudent
course with Vista and wait a bit. :)

Assuming your hard drive has sufficient room, why don't you
set your PC up for dual-booting between XP and Vista.

So you've given up on Vista in just 2 hours?

I wouldn't care if not a single XP device or application worked in Vista.
If the things need don't work, stay with XP. It's that simple. I really
would love to see what Microsoft could create if they didn't have to build
in compatibility with anything old - with a totally clean slate built as an
operating system for the latest hardware available. Now that would be
awesome!

As for the Mac, a friend has a brand new Mac PowerBook Pro. It is, hands
down, the single best laptop platform I have seen for running Vista. Then
you could have the best of both worlds. It is awesome.

What did you do to verify in advance that all your hardware and software are
compatible with Vista?
There are a few tools that can help on this page:
http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/instvista.htm
What have you done to verify you had a good installation?
2 hours is probably insufficient time to determine much.

I would suggest before spreading information that may show some or more
errors on your part, that you spend a little time trying to determine the
source of the problems.

If you post details of your system in a new thread, someone may be able to
help you find the cause.

However if you really feel that way, return Vista.

Frustration is understandable, if a bit shortsighted. Crashes are
likely caused by incompatible hardware or drivers, which may still be in
development by the creators of the software.

It was the same, if not more so when XP debuted. For several weeks XP
was a total crashing disaster here, using hard/software that had run
fine in '98. When the problem was discovered, it was as if the sun
shone, and XP became the most stable O/S ever...until Vista.

I highly suggest that you need to tell your employer and your friends about
this, so that they can learn about your stupidity. However, I do not
recommend that you tell your enemies, because if they have to know about your
stupidity, they will have to kill you, and Microsoft will not be liable for
your wrongful death.
