Reporting from Vista

[x42bn6]

Piece of crap, this thing is.*

old news

[Whaturmuva]

eww I know, and you need a super awesome machine to even run it.

i keep imagining what windows is gonna be like in the future..

like popups coming up over icons telling you how to double click, health and safety windows always popping up to remind you that banging your head on the monitor hurts, or reminders telling you to wipe your ass and wash your hands if it senses youve just taken a dump..

wait, whats the point of that scrn shot?

[Wing Zero]

to show our eventual conversation to vista

you can turn it off...if u have new hardware that are vista supported, it works fine. Works fine to me.


also, surprised that wing is using internet explorer. sadist.

The screenshot is to show you how gorgeous it is. DON'T GET SUCKED IN, KIDS.

It took me 15 minutes to a first-time network start, and the tackiness of Internet Explorer 7 made me cry. I couldn't even disable Aero because I don't have the permissions to do so. Needless to say, I was back on KDE a few minutes later.

In about 5 years, I'll be complaining about Microsoft Windows Blue Screen or something. 15 minutes...*

I dont think I've ever gotten a blue screen on my laptop... Ive had this for like... a year and half now? lol

KDE is better than windows anyday.
But my fagass in on windows =/

I've had Vista for the better part of 7 months and it runs much smoother than XP, and it's features mean I don't want to go to any other OS.

and who the hell uses IE?

diagnostic is a joke

[c9h13no3]

I'm on Vista right now, and its not so bad. It just takes longer than XP to get it to a tolerable point. I'm used to disabling 30% of the OS's bloat when I do a clean install, so I'm not surprised that Vista is just more bloated, but otherwise the same ole stuff.

[Eric]

I don't get why everyone *****es about Vista. I've had it for a while now and have had zero problems; its great.

User/hardware problems...

I run KDE (essentially Ubuntu, 7.04) and it makes Windows look shameful. A slow computer runs faster than Windows on a faster computer - that's how bad it is.

Vista is naggy. By trying to accommodate every single requirement known to man, it becomes bloatware.*

i was talking more about how the company as a whole automaticly thinks anyone using their software knows f all about computers and feels its necesary to hold their hand and walk them slowly, bombarding you with wizards and popups and limitations when youre doing anything as half complex as trying to turn off their crappy firewall.

'are you sure you want to do this?'

naaaahh i just clicked it for a laugh..

Because the entire world isn't computer illiterate, and despite the normal person doesn't really have an alternative, Windows NEEDS to cater to these people or it loses it's core users completely.

I haven't been "Bombarded" with any **** since my first few days when I used the intelligent thing and turned features like that off.

Do you know how frustrating it is for older people to accidently click something and without warning something happens you had no intention of happening. Not everyone using a computer is young, and not everyone knows exactly what they need to be doing.

stop being so damn self centered.

[Flashosaurus]

yeah...what an *******
