oh, and for the Aero haters... that's a setting you can turn off, you don't have to let it eat up your RAM.

Ya know, I've gotta come to Windows defense... I finally gave Vista a chance when I bought my newest computer... and while I definitely miss XP, I have had absolutely no problem with Vista. I don't experience all these "crashes" that people like you talk about, and I am even currently running 6 Firefox tabs and 5 total programs (Notepad, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Firefox, and Zune music player) with no problem. I've even ran all these programs at the same time as playing Half-Life 2 using high settings, and experienced no crashes. Also, as far as virus problems go, I use a free anti-virus program called AVG (http://free.avg.com/), which is a little on the simple side for the free edition, but has proven quite dependable since I haven't had any problem at all with viruses.

Personally, I think it's just "cool" to hate Microsoft nowadays. You're not "hip" if you don't talk trash about Bill Gates and pitch out an extra 1000 dollars (hyperbole) for a computer sporting equivalent power but w/ an apple slapped to the side of a nice bright white tower and the comfort of knowing that hackers could care less about attacking your OS right now (give them time, they attack Windows because it controls the majority of the market).

<ul>
<li>Just for the purpose of clarification, when I say "cool" and "hip", it probably portrays the image of an old man being loyal to his memories of Windows 3.1, that's not the case. I'm a 26 year old graphic designer who requires dependability out of his machine, as well as flexibility, the latter of which, I feel Mac's don't offer.</li>
</ul>

Actually, some of the pro-Vista comments are from average users, but the majority are from seriously neuron-challenged Microsoft shills who are as hard to miss as a BSOD on live television. What a pathetic bunch of money-grubbing losers.

Hi all,

I am just a plain ordinary asshole on a PC. I really like this blog - here. It is like someone has thrown a bucket of cold water on my head and said, "Hello - are U still there?"

This is where PCing has brought me to. After 40 years of programming and tech work-arounds I am officially a PC Geezer who needs new glasses now.

The reason why I refer to myself as a "plainordinaryasshole" is because I don't understand why I am too stoopid not to upgrade to Ubuntu. I feel so sorry for Microsoft. I think that those many users who still use MS products are purely and simply addicted to the punishment it delivers with each new migration and each new update and each new patch. I would of thought it would be better by now.

I dunno .. are we all addicted to migrains or sumthing?

regards, plain -o-a

I have had the freedom of working on Mac OS X at an office years ago and discovered I would only reboot once a year.

Even with Office XP I reboot about once a week. Vistsa works best on a machine with a performance rating of 5.0 or better (Microsoft's grading scale). My new XPS Dell 420 is running a 5.4 on the scale and runs Vista well.

On a bad note, you can't find many discounted software titles yet that work on Vista.

I upgraded from windowsXp 2nd edition to Vista home premium.
I was fighting with my computer to get a clean install when it dawned on me that Vista is a different windows from WinXp so of course i had to upgrade my software the problem is with Roxio i upgraded to Roxio MYDVD9 and Microsoft WORKS9 and i got a clean install and installed my drivers from Dell websight. And something else helped i setup another user administrator this is where i install when i am downloading while the other connection is for play and looking up what i want to look up. So if you have an error correct it on your administrator con and it when you are downloading it will make a restore date and i set it to restore once a week and my pc automaticly maintains my pc. Good advice my friends try it so don't be afraid of Vista another thing find out if u have a Vista32 or 64 don't mix download a 64 if u have a vista32 error city U.S.A wish i could share more but out of room lol good luck and keep computing.

Wow was I surprised at all the Microsoft bashers... I do agree Vista has some faults, but hey could we write an operating system...no way.

I am still using XP on my 320 with dual core with 2 Gig Ram mirrored machine. Guess I was a little hesitant to go with Vista when I did my last upgrade. But I have worked on MACs and if MAXC users were truthful they would tell you how many PhotoShop and Illustrator and In Design files they lost due to an OS crash from the Apple Bomb. I know that is why I run a PC for all my Graphics apps. I do web development, design, my own hosting and SEO and I can offer a tip. Feel sorry for those who have Vista if they have problems and be glad it is not you. Be nice and send them a link to this blog and maybe some of the great tips listed above will help someone in need.
Loved the posts they made me have my smile for the day!

I'm a long time Windows user (3.0) and DOS (god maybe 2. something) before that. I've installed networks from IBM's PCNET to WFWG, LanManger, Novell, W2k, W2K3 and most recently Linux with a Novell interface and I've never lost any significant data until tonight with VISTA. The more I use it, the more I dislike it. I copied and pasted a folder (PUBLIC) from C: to D: drive. It was apparently there - I viewed the files; they were there and then I couldn't access the drive, the permissions were screwed up and now it(the data)- gone .... I've struggled with this laptop for 2 months. I believe I'm done.

Geeks- and non-geeks, you all miss the point. Technology is nothing in itself. And limitation constitue our life.
I might sound like a fascist, but a person deserves freedom.

I think Vista was a great idea. I've run Windows ever since 3.1. Microsoft has done me the service of forcing me to Linux, because Vista will never be allowed to enter my house.

I've got a new quad processor PC coming in next week with NO OPERATING SYSTEM, and then I'll figure out how to install a Debian kernal that supports multiple processors.

Thank you Microsoft, for making our relationship so miserable that I finally decided to leave you.
