Vista: Get ready for the big one

Re: Vista: Get ready for the big one

i like how microsoft puts out a massive product like vista, then plans a massive upgrade to fix all the things they fucked up with the original version. how about just make it right the first time?

you forgot something


they release a major update, fixing half of the problems, and adding at least 30% more

Re: Vista: Get ready for the big one

you can say the same about Windows. Windows came from Apple.

are you referring to the point and click GUI ?

yea.

i get your point.. w hat i am referring to is not the same but software evolves... some software utilizes others and the little bee gets shoved out most of the time..its the way it works. its business.

Re: Vista: Get ready for the big one

I agree with that point, but the GUI is just an interface engine, totally different from what the OS is.

Brad I'm 100% with you on that the OSX is and will always remain superior to anything Windows (as long as they are *Nix, which in my opinion will be the most stable line for years to come) but despite its shittiness (of which it has a few), there are a few evolved benefits of the popularity of Microsoft which are very hard to ignore today.

yea completely agree. most of all the good programs will only run on windows.

and if you are a gamer, windows is the only choice =\

I would like to welcome you to the world of Wine for Linux. Google it. I have run many crucial apps on Linux with it. Office/Reason/CS3.

Also am very successful at getting dx9/10 games running on it too. Guild wars runs at 101 fps, doom 3 at 90 fps.

I for one do not like Vista for two reasons, the security model is flawed, two they never addressed the virtual memory issue in the SP1 update which will kill a machine if you leave it on for more than 36 hours. Also doing backups of items in Vista is a nightmare since they put some crap backup utility on there that is just a watered down version of NTBackup with XP Pro.

Also most major financial and technical firms have snubbed Vista, so far they have only broken into the home market.

Re: Vista: Get ready for the big one

Because for many people (not all) we have yet to witness these problems that many people do see. Maybe we're the lucky ones but I haven't had a single problem with my Vista setup yet. That's not to say that everyone is so "lucky".

Same here, apart from an occasion or two when I got a blue screen. Comparing Vista to ME is plain bollox imo.

Don't forget all of the financial programs, applications, etc. There just isn't the software that people need to do their job with something other than Windows.

Re: Vista: Get ready for the big one

Turns out my Vista problems wasn't Vista after all...

SmartFTP issue - http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/...702#post563702

And all of a sudden my USB problem has gone too.

Of course it did prompt me to upgrade to SP1 which I did.

Re: Vista: Get ready for the big one

The Vista is the biggest shit i have ever used. That`s my opinion. The 80 % of the programs i couldn`t use. I stay with the XP.

Re: Vista: Get ready for the big one

You ever thought about not using computers if you're having so many problems?

Re: Vista: Get ready for the big one

the only problem that i've had with vista is finding drivers for alot of shit that i already have. "ask not what vista can do for you, but what you can buy for vista!" that and i've found that it's much slower. considering going to linux, actually dl'ing now.

Re: Vista: Get ready for the big one

^ ^ That's not really the fault of Vista/Microsoft though. Third party companies feel that they will not profit on making the drivers to support their older gear so they don't.
