To start, I'm basically a computer genius (Tongue in cheek). I've used DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, XP, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Kubuntu. When I paid my tuition to college I got a copy of Windows Vista for free so I decided to break down and upgrade from XP. I don't know wtf people are complaining about. Once you turn off the little security thing that asks you if you're sure you want to do every little thing, it's actually a really decent, stable system. I've gotten one blue screen as a result of installing Zone Alarm but that's it. And it was really easy to rollback to the system configuration to fix it up. It also has this really neato thing where you can crop parts of the screen and automatically open it in an image viewer so you can save it. Unlike in XP where you have to print screen then save the picture manually. Everything is really pretty and the colour themes are nifty and easy to manipulate. All in all, don't listen to people bash Windows Vista, especially if they've never used it. It's actually a really decent OS and if you get the chance to upgrade then I say go for it. It's not nearly as much of a system hog as I had anticipated either. Most of all, don't listen to those stupid Mac commercials. K, I'm bored and trying to avoid smoking so I just felt like letting everyone know. Bai.

i have vista, and now that im used to it, its not so bad. but when i first got it, i hated how all my old games didnt run on it and the amount of RAM that it took. but there are alot of good features that i really like now, and i upgraded my RAM so its not a problem any more.

I agree. I havn't had many problems with vista, just come across the occasional program that isn't yet compatible with it.

Well good, because I've been happy with it as well. I never saw what people were complaining about either.

I just went back to Windows 2K pro from Vista. But would still be with Vista if my crack had not failed. Ok operating system.

ive had vista for 5 months, i dont really like it. some things are nice, but in my opinion its just got too many bells and whistles. And it uses half your RAM at all times for indexing and other shit thats not neccesary. yea it makes room when you run an app. but it just bothers the shit out of me it makes gaming shitty as hell.
------- I just want a chill happy life.
