But by all means it's a decent OS, you just need a decent pc to take advantage of it. -- Posted by Benzo at 9:59 am on July 19, 2008 Vista...oh god...Son of a bitch OS eats up resources like its in a third world country. -- Posted by asianguy at 9:59 am on July 19, 2008 If your computer has enough power to run vista, its better, otherwise stick with xp cuz there's too many problems u will run into 3GB of ram MIN Dual Core No Exception Graphics card more than 256mb Bootup Times Really fast on my pc, never had a single problem :] -- Posted by Maxxie at 9:59 am on July 19, 2008 It's slower and crappier essentially it's the windows XP except crappier it eats so fucking much powers from a computer -- Posted by freak15 at 9:59 am on July 19, 2008 its not worse its just not very good its lyk the same as XP nd it does go really slow sometimes lol ur betta of just stayin XP tbh lol x -- Posted by roflfuckyou at 10:00 am on July 19, 2008 it sucks dick. it is a slut. -- Posted by Jaems at 10:01 am on July 19, 2008 A lot of people love to hate Vista. If youy computer is good.. Vista will be fine. I prefer it over XP to be honest. It took a bit of getting used to and the 'security popup's' aren't nearly as annoying, or frequent as everyone says. -- Posted by h a t t at 10:01 am on July 19, 2008 Quote: from asianguy at 12:59 pm on July 19, 2008 If your computer has enough power to run vista, its better, otherwise stick with xp cuz there's too many problems u will run into 3GB of ram MIN Dual Core No Exception Graphics card more than 256mb Bootup Times Really fast on my pc, never had a single problem :] Word. -- Posted by MushroomSatsujin at 10:01 am on July 19, 2008 Lots of glitches. My friends tell me it crashes their computer. Basically its just loaded down with needless junk to make it look cool and it fucks up the performance. My comp can handle Vista but I prefer XP anyway. I dont need all that extra crap -- Posted by Avenue D at 10:01 am on July 19, 2008 I goddamn hate the Jesus-shitting Windows Vista with every fiber of my being.  I ordered recently an XP and they sent me a crappy Vista that works like shit and looks worse.  Oh yeah, and hardly any older games not made by Microsoft (and possibly Electronic Arts) don't work: Sierra Core, FFVII, FFVIII, Blitzkrieg, C&C: Red Alert, and several others. -- Posted by x508xmayzx at 10:02 am on July 19, 2008 it takes up almost 1 gb of space if you dont delete certain things. so it is slower and wastes cpu space -- Posted by jayney16 at 10:02 am on July 19, 2008 1.  It goes slow 2.  Can not handle large files 3.  Generally crap -- Posted by Avenue D at 10:04 am on July 19, 2008 Quote: from jayney16 at 10:02 am on July 19, 2008 1.

To give you a idea why the problem is happening, in car terms a Chevy Tahoe Suv with a 1.0 Liter Engine :] It's pretty fast... not really! -- Posted by Frubeling at 10:10 am on July 19, 2008 There's no point in getting it unless you have dual or quad core, it takes up almost an entire processor. -- Posted by dolce e gabbana at 10:11 am on July 19, 2008 I'm not having any problems -- Posted by FurryPanther at 10:25 am on July 19, 2008 The biggest issue is that it's a resource hog. An OS is supposed to be a common ground for programs to launch off of, not every program you can think of in and of itself. It has too many required features that do nothing but slow down the computer. Then there is the fact that it was programmed in a way that there was very little communication between departments, so there are a lot of things that don't match up, making glitches. It's just a bad OS all around. I can only hope that Windows 7 is an improvement. FP -- Posted by brandon34 at 12:08 pm on July 19, 2008 I have Vista and I think it is much better the XP -- Posted by FurryPanther at 12:10 pm on July 19, 2008 Quote: from brandon34 at 1:08 pm on July 19, 2008 I have Vista and I think it is much better the XP The only thing going for it is that it's visually impressive.

Dude, the fact that you say that, and support oboma, shows that you need to be summarily liquidated. -- Posted by pleaseremove at 6:01 pm on July 19, 2008 As per usual i read all of these "Vista is crap, stick with XP" posts and I'm wondering if I'm using the same version as you lot. I have no issues with Vista. It is stable, fast to use, has many many more features including a nice little set of apps that comes with it, the interface is considerably better, its quicker, cleaner, prettier and has so many more features and parts you can customize. In short, no, Vista is not worse, as long as you don't go for the basic versions. Go for a PC that comes with it installed and you will be fine. Don't upgrade as thats a bad plan. -- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 7:20 pm on July 19, 2008 Quote: from lunchbox at 6:24 pm on July 19, 2008 Quote: from motorhead at 9:58 am on July 19, 2008 It's a system hog and generally doesn't handle anything efficiently.

Just as others said, its slower than XP when its operating on an average computer and can't handle anything efficiently. My brand new Dell came with Vista and it operated poorly even when nothing was on it. My programs and software kept closing on their own. I don't use that PC anymore. I use my MacBook. -- Posted by Zlog at 3:17 am on Aug. 23, 2008 wow nothing but fucking idiots in this thread. If your computer doesn't meet the reccomended requirements, then you shouldn't intall vista on it. If you HAVE the reccomended requirements, Vista is amazing. Vista will actually play games better then XP if you have a decent system. Vista manages resources MUCH better then XP if you have the reccomended amount. Threads full of people making comments about vista that dont know what they're talking about make me RAAAGEEE -- Posted by Zlog at 3:19 am on Aug. 23, 2008 Quote: from Whitelighter at 11:39 am on July 22, 2008 Yep.

Your mistake was buying one of Dell Super Duper Discount computers. Do some research next time. -- Posted by Thunder Bolt at 7:17 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 I hate Vista. That's just my opinion. :(. I have a Macbook, and there's just no issues with it. My parents did buy one of those "Dell Super Duper Discount" computers for themselves, but I think if they're selling a computer that has it installed, it should be able to handle it well. It was a dual core processor. It crashed so many times, we finally bought a copy of Windows XP and downgraded the computer, which is just sad. -- Posted by climber783 at 1:14 pm on Sep. 10, 2008 Vista's great if you have a high-end computer that can handle it's extensive download size, extensive resource use, and all that. But on my bottom to mid range laptop, it was a nightmare.  Slow as hell, crashed constantly, countless useless programs that were tricky to remove completely...it just wasn't worth it.  Quickly gave up on Vista, put on Linux Mint, and was perfectly happy with it.  And soon after made it a dual boot with Windows XP on it, and it is a perfect laptop. -- Posted by mysticgohan at 3:22 am on Sep. 22, 2008 Depends on how much ram you have. If you're trying to run it on 512MB or 1 gig you'll have problems 2 gigs will run it well, 3 and 4 smooth as better. Pages: 1 2  Next
