-- Posted by zamrambo at 12:58 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Honestly.  Why do people dislike it so much? It seems a lot of people just don't like it because other people don't.  I haven't had any specific problems with it.  Sure it asks for authorization on a lot of things, but it's nothing too much. So, what gives? -- Posted by sieeeeerra at 12:58 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I use it. My computer functions. therefor im ok with it. -- Posted by Seanee at 12:58 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I don't like the lag. Ughh. -- Posted by Everlongx at 12:58 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Supposedly it's hella buggy. I don't know because i've never tried it myself. -- Posted by King Kong at 12:58 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I think it ok. my laptop acts a little wired, but it's ok -- Posted by bubble girl2 at 12:59 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 its because they are too stupid to know how to use it.  I love it.  its what I use. -- Posted by cyanotype at 12:59 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 It's like driving with a foggy window, through a computerized life. -- Posted by blueelectricguitar at 12:59 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I HATE VISTA. I have a personal vendetta against that programme. My mum got it installed on our computers at home when it first came out. I came back from uni to discover that it had deleted all my compositions and sibelius files because it didn't support sibelius. I was NOT impressed. -- Posted by ieshiachantel at 1:00 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 i have vista i love it x -- Posted by Kitty Kiska at 1:00 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 People dont like it cos they cant get used to it...and the whole authorisation point of view which is no bother. I love vista its so much better then XP -- Posted by HaitianGURL67 at 1:00 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 My computer works fine with Vista even thought it laggs in the beginning. -- Posted by Neilap at 1:00 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 i prefer xp, my mom has a new vista and that bitch closes windows explorer each fuckin time i get to work.. MOTHER FUCK lol -- Posted by zamrambo at 1:01 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Quote: from blueelectricguitar at 12:59 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I HATE VISTA. I have a personal vendetta against that programme.

That's you and your mom's fault.  You should have checked to see if it was compatible first. -- Posted by XxBrandonxX at 1:01 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 yea i was feeling this exact thing last night. i jus got a new laptop with vista and i dont see any problems with it. i think its just dumb people who dnt kno how to use a computer right. but i guess i read ther coming out with a new os thats suppose to be alot better its like windows 7 or something? -- Posted by ello paulie xx at 1:01 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Yeah I don't know either. I mean I heard it was bad, but it's treating me fine. -- Posted by monkeydoodle77 at 1:01 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Quote: from trashleyy at 12:58 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I use it.

I came home at the holidays to find my work gone. -- Posted by liferocks at 1:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 i dont know i only clicked to turn the little green dot into a little orange dot -- Posted by marshmellowman at 1:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 It has some small quirks I don't like, but on the whole I think it's pretty cool, a huge improvement over XP. I still wouldn't switch from OS X though. -- Posted by King Kong at 1:09 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Quote: from marshmellowman at 9:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 It has some small quirks I don't like, but on the whole I think it's pretty cool, a huge improvement over XP.

I also run the odd XP-era game in compatability mode just to be sure, although they work fine normally anyway. edit: And I like the way it looks :P. -- Posted by kk327 at 1:11 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 mostly compatibility things form what i've heard, or it's just so different looking.  i don't use it personally.   -- Posted by espresso8097 at 6:05 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I have not experience many problems that are not 3rd party developer's fault.  Disable UAC and it's good. -- Posted by Dickij03 at 6:40 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Oh well... Who ever doesn't like it are probably going to be a bit stuffed over the next few years... Once windows 7, based in the vista kernal, is released and XP support is dropped people are going to have to make the move. -- Posted by DannoJay at 9:07 am on Jan. 10, 2009 Vista has a slight downfall in that it has been given a bad name for its beta. I have the home basic and it has never done any of the stuff that people say it does. I agree with you that authorization is abit over the top but im sure somehow you are able to disable a few of them by the control panel. If anyone does have XP i recommend upgrading to Vista as it is nothing like what people claim it to be. -- Posted by Capt Kuchiki Byakuya at 12:42 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 ...vista is second best no matters what people say... -- Posted by anonomouse at 10:26 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 I use it. I like everything about it except that it's slow. -- Posted by Dustin at 5:45 pm on Jan. 13, 2009 I don't like Vista simply because it is a resource hog.  My computer was running fine on it.  I hated Vista so I installed Windows XP and it is running 2x faster now. -- Posted by Naptime at 12:24 am on Jan. 14, 2009 I use Vista, have been for almost 12 months. Can't imagine life without it. I think it's better than XP, but I still use XP on old Cyril (who, surprisingly, runs XP even though he's about eight or nine years old) and at school (stupid Education Department haven't approved it yet). I mean, it's not business ready, especially for things such as point of sale, where anything with a Celeron and 512MB of RAM and a puny 20GB hard drive will do - where I work, all the computers run Windows 2000. At one of the local supermarkets, they still run Windows NT 4.0 on all of their registers (It's quite sad I know this, really), and a hardware store runs XP on theirs. Point of Sale systems don't need bucketloads of horsepower. Vista needs quite a bit. Therefore, Point of sale isn't for Vista systems... yet. Hoever, the City Council here has an almost completely Vista network. The library doesn't have Vista computers, because the program they use, Spydus, doesn't like it, so they reverted to XP. They don't complain about it (although they did when Spydus wouldn't work). My friend moans about it, but I just ignore him (he was also stupid enough to buy 4GB of RAM when he only had a 32bit version of Vista, even though I told him that he was wasting $150, and he wants me to spend that extra money on something I'll never use in new computer: uhm, I think not? I like to use my money for things that I use). The only real issue I have with it is that there is no seemingly obvious way to enable Classic logon (Can't stand the welcome screen), if at all. But I'll cope.
