While I agree with the idea that Vista sucks incredibly hard, I don't agree with imposing your opinions on others. It's as if you're determined to save the world from the scurge that is Vista, FalconFour. Honestly you should learn to let people just figure out for themselves how good or bad something is, and have them find out how well it benefits them.

JUST LIKE RELIGION!

Look dude, your like every other person who hates Vista. They hear its bad but have to proof. I had XP and used it for years, i installed Windows Vista a couple months ago and ive had very few problems. One of the most annoying things in XP was the "Compatibility Mode", when i tried to run older games it never worked. It actually works for me in Vista. The Only games ive had trouble with have been Indie games and theve been minor problems that ive fixed. Software wise i cant remember a driver that didnt work or a program that wouldnt launch. As long as your not using Photoshop 2.1 and wondering why there isnt a Vista driver you shouldnt have a problem

And XP dose not use 1.5gb of HD space, and why the f**K is that a issue anyway? Most computers come with HD at least 250gb or larger and for most people they will never use that, and for the people that will those 7gb wont make a difference.

Its so stupid to keep Vista users from accessing your site, what if theres a kid who wants to get your songs but has Vista and isnt allowed to switch the OS? Every think about that, or how bout someone that dosent know HOW TO switch to XP, or how bout someone who dosent want to do something illegal because only Vista Ultimate and Business have downgrade rights? Or what about someone with a ridiclous amount of data, say 1TB, how are they gonna back that up? And why would anyone, just because some douche bag made a script that blocks them from some crappy site, you think thats actually gonna make them switch to XP?

Youre clearly just a deranged idiot, alot like those guys spurting of prophesies saying the earth will end.



EDIT: and you complain about Windows VAC asking you to do stuff, it is quite annoying, but guess what? It takes 2 F**KING MINUTES TO TURN OFF!

EDIT2: I read some of your posts falcon and now i know you fail, you think iTunes is win? Lets see, takes forever to launch, has a shitty annoying updating system, has you make a account to download songs from the music store yet keeps no record of them so if i bought $300 of music from them and had no backups then got a hard drive corrupting bug i just lost $300. Or how about the fact that you "Library" is just a bunch of shortcuts to the original files and its so shitty than it cant even track them, if i move the directory the song is in iTunes gives me a error saying "im a slow buggy useless POS". iTunes is some of the WORST SOFTWARE i have EVER used in my lifetime.

Funny i made a blog post yesterday http://yxxxx.wordpress.com/2008/02/23/39/ Im still using xp and i have no intention to change for sometime.

This is not because i have any particular dislike of vista its just because at the moment to move to vista would be more hassle than its worth it does nothing new that i need and there are still far to many pitfuls.

Oh and the article i mention in my blog post helps convince me that im making the correct decision.

I've had Windows Vista Home Premium since it came out and I've had virtually no problems.  It's been a much smoother OS than XP was when it first came out.

Taking it a little too far there, you shouldn't label a man an idiot. He's simply stating his opinion, and you disagree. I don't think it's really fair to just throw slanderous remarks around like you own the place. How would you like to be called a retard just because I disagree with what you're saying in your post.

Please show some respect.

ive never even heard of this stuff except for zone alarm (which i used for a period of time and didnt like).  ive had no viruses, no adware, no trojans blah blah blah since moving to vista.  on xp, i ran into a few major intrusions every year but i havnt had a single one since moving to vista.

but, not wanting to go through the pain of starting over and stuff....i completely understand that.

Oh, yeah, a certain matt-named and/or DM824-named person throws personal attacks at me, a mod follows them right up with a compliment, and you get on someone for calling me names? Jesus, people... prioritize here. I'm absolutely shocked at some of the things that have been said here. It's not going to go ignored.

Thats the view i had when it came out. It looks nice but offers nothing new. Its really isnt worth updating your current machine to Vista; but if the machine comes with it pre-installed then its no problem keeping it on, and saves you a lot of hastle looking for drivers and stuff.

having used vista for nearly a year, i completely disagree.  and the funny thing is, your arguments are the same as those that XP faced when it first came out.

...

having to work on XP at work, i can honestly say that i dont miss it at all.  programs lock up MUCH more often on XP, especially when they are intense applications(such as graphics work).  sure, every now and then a program will "lock" in vista...but it will unlock almost right away, and if it DOES lock, it quits when i tell it to quite (much unlike in XP where you tell it to end and its just like lol no wai).
Yep, all new OS's have had their share of complainers.

And I also noticed the locking issue. In XP I have told it to end unresponsive programs a half dozen times before it does. In Vista, it closes after the first (on the rare occasion that a program actually locks up).


but Vista can't "reduce" low enough to even become near as fast as XP is out of the box.
XP can't "reduce" to become near as fast as Win98SE, Win95, Win3.11, DOS, etc. Please think before you post.

Oh, now you edit to add that condescending "Please think before you post" crap. Lemmings. One guy bashes the Vista hater, let's all do it because it's cool.

Think before I post? Here's a few questions for you: why does every new OS get slower and slower anyway? Why ARE there even complaints about every new OS being so much slower than the last? Are you going to tell me it's because of new "features"? What is it? If it's features, then why can I do everything in XP that I could do on Vista? Why are there even people so desperate to trash-talk my Vista-bashing that they're resorting to pure personal bashing to do it, because they can't come up with any counter-arguments?

I think it's you that needs to think before you post.
