Yeah and that leads to more problems. Hence why Microsoft don't do it.
Why I hate vista...

Yes it is, read the bottom corner of the picture
And what is to say that the wallpaper doesn't have the text on it, rather than the proper evaluation overlay?

Not at all, in fact I love XP, and most of the time office, I do have a phobia o single mums they seem to want to have my babies, which is strange as they already have one
O'rly?
Hmmm.. Maybe I could if I didn't own a laptop..
So you don't live with the day to day running of it????
You were obviously a novice user
Mine BSOD's Outta the box.. I think It happened on the second day of owning.. I hadn't even installed programs or messed with anything at this point in time either..
I don't agree.. I find all 2007 apps have more backwards features than fowards ones
Such as? Obviously it always comes down to personal preference, but I just struggle to understand why people prefer zillions of menus where the options and useful features were frequently difficult to find. The Ribbon interface, as with all things, takes a bit of getting used to, but it at least makes everything far easier to access.
7 of them yes, the others I have had no complaints from the people who use it on them, except when they download "suspect" files...!So you don't live with the day to day running of it????
This is across laptops and desktops, personally I hate going back to XP it just feels ugh to me after vista and I don't use a lot of the features Microsoft advertise as bonuses, like the 3d task switcher, barley use, never use the sidebar, disabled first thing after install.
My main complains for Vista are as follows;
File sharing is hit and miss, sometimes it works good sometimes its terrible, XP was bad enough but vista made it worse. Folder view settings do not save to the folders, right clicking on drives/icons/files only brings up the context menu for that item 1/2 the time, the other half it acts as if you right clicked the space around it, same with dragging.
I will add though that none of these installs are used in a strictly business environment and I would not advise anyone to upgrade to vista from XP unless they actually needed to, there's really no advantages for bussines use as far as I can see.
It's a very consumerised product and it works well to that end.

No doubting its capabilities as an OS buts its far far from the mainstream I feel, it doesn’t have a patch on windows for compatibility and ease of use, just seems you need a degree on how to use the thing
Acer aren't know for their quality laptops
I'm sorting it out now..
Had some lulz after have a little loading up the event viewer
Yes that is over 51k
Followed by some of this:
(while inspecting errors)
I had nearly 42k app errors tooo

Indeed.. The first time I installed and properly set up a copy (redhat? or mandrake akaik) It was like a celebration in it's self
And I doo agree with windows compatibility.. That is it's only down fall like it or not Microsoft exist and like it or not they aren't exactly helping non windoze usr's
I had to switch back after my A-level grades were being jeopardised

I understand where BBX is coming from.
The icons and whatnot in Vista are far more cartooney than previous versions of Windows, and much more like the OSX dock.
She's still a daft wotsit though
You are sooo going to pay for this on friday!!!
lol! But yeah that's exactly what I meant If you had bothered to read my subsequent posts, I was at work and therefore unable to download patches or other software.
There is no need to insult me :/

I would never use another OS because it's more of a pain in the proverbial, but those who seem to think Vista is terrible would definitely benefit I think.Love the way people just complain how rubbish vista etc is, there are plenty of FREE OS readily available to download, its not like you are stuck with just one monopoly
/me wonders why I've seen a bluescreen a total of 2 times on any pc i've had in the past 7 years...
win/win \o/

Well if you want to use any of the software you own, you don't have much choice.

Quoted for truth, I have only been using Vista for around a month since buying a new laptop but my experience so far has been better than expected, it could do with being a bit faster at times (UAC popping up etc) but apart from that I have no issues.
Still prefer linux for most tasks as I use it and work and get much more done, but thats another thread entirely.

You really need to sort out the piece of hardware that's at fault (memory?) or get a fresh reinstall... That's just not how it should be!
