Why does everyone hate vista!!

I actually like it, and it is really growing on me... :) I tend to ignore the haters... some just want to be cool... it was the same when XP came out "I will never move from Windows 98"... "Where is the progress...its just a bit prettier..."

Is it just me, I think I am a bit strange, but I actually enjoy in a way all this new stuff... messing around to get it to work... trying new drivers :o

It’s not that easy writing an operating system and I don't believe that the microsoft people have not made an effort...

I do use linux a bit, but I don't find it very friendly, but that might just be me... however I do use linux for some of the servers in the office because its cheap... :)

I will shut up now :p
 
I like it running 64bitU one

I like how there takeing advantage of the new tec like puting desktop on to GPU

ppl been asking for ages to have some sort of 3d desktop now they do they moan

O well

Works great for me aprt from scanner but it is 5yrs old
every thing els works great

Lets see how pants it is when directX 10 games come out lol

I bet half the ppl moaning are the ones that can not find cracks for vista yet lol cheap skates
 
People who say they can't see 6 years of difference between it and XP - remember how pants XP was at the very start. I shudder even when I see an XP PC with only Service Pack 1 installed on it. Vista is released 5-6 years later but XP has been constantly developed on during that whole time, that's why the gap doesn't seem so big.
 
I think it will be an excellent operating system

Right now people are mistargeting their frustrations on MS because of the high price and lack of support from companies, all of which is part of being an early adopter.

In 6 months these posts will have disappeared.
 
i dont like it because of all the hype. FFS its only an OS ! :mad:
Its not a giant leap. Whats so revolutionary about the piece of junk?

I'll tell you what.......it now crashes in style!

MS would have been better changing the interface on Win2k and labelling that Vista and releasing it!

I know! Nobody uses OS's these days, every computer in the world now goes about its work by being switched on and converting electricity into productivity.

i really hope that's sarcasm... i love it, apart from the fact that my vaio laptop camera has no drivers yet.
Photoshop:you said that 2000 might as well be relabelled, 2000 was built for a non-gaming system, for businesses and offices...
do any of the people flaming vista here actually have the final version? please elaborate as to why it suxxorzzorz so muchorz

I find a fair bit of it is just hate directed generally at Microsoft. Some people just hate huge corporations, no matter what they do.

That explains some of the comments about Vista, but not all. I don't hate it; it is a fine OS as far as it goes, but I don't think it is much better than XP, and I think it is actually worse than XP in some ways. I think there is little or no compelling reason to upgrade from XP to Vista.
 
I dont like that dx10 is only for vista forces u to upgrade regardless if u want to play new dx10 games. Why should M$ force all gamers to upgrade OS to play games that M$ did not even make?

I dont care for new graphical interfaces, I have win XP running like win 98 would look with no fancy options ect. I see no reason to waste CPU cycles or any of my 2Gb ram on something that I ignore completely.

Then I thought, lets take a look at the selling features of this OS. I googled it and read "new fancy graphical user interface" (see previous paragraph), secondly it said "the most secure windows ever".

The most secure windows ever sounds great but unfortunately I had previously just been reading this:
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html
which amoungst other things says that the security is for the "content providers", no effort has been made to stop spam emails or further effort to stop virus' from working. Its just made digital rights management hard to copy. As a side effect, since there is an underlying encryption service between output deivices and media content, then the CPU is more heavily taxed. Not only that but the device drivers themselves poll at 30ms if the device is digital or 150ms if analogue... just to check nothing is happening, AKA idle. ....Just a sanity check, lets wait and see what the benchmarks are between vista and XP (or just see what the top orb users use for an OS, they usually know what they are doing).

Then u have just 1 random quote from another forum:

"Vista will regard your system as new if you install a new piece of hardware at ITS discretion. You will not receive notification as to whether it will be recognised as such beforehand, and manufacturers of hardware will not be under any obligation to provide this info. You have three installs of Vista when you buy the product. Some rumours say it has to be a new motherboard, others that it need only be a new mouse or keyboard - perhaps even whenever the "new hardware found" wizard boots up. One user, trying the Beta version in Germany, was unable to install all his hardware before it ran out! He installed Vista, then installed his DVD drive, then his graphics card, then his modem - when he then tried to install his digital camera via USB, the license immediately revoked - this on a Beta version! As a nice little follow-up, when he tried to reinstall XP back again, he couldn't, and ended up having to completely reformat his hard disk in another machine before it became usable again.

I think we are supposed to buy prebuilt systems, at MS's whim, and never touch them - they have better control then.

I say enough. These b£%^£"!s must not win."

Not only that Vista costs near enough double what it does in the US.

Plus M$ is just trying to entrench themselves into a deeper more far reaching monopoly.

I couldnt use Vista's features even if I wanted to. I paid £270 for a monitor, the last 1 I had for 5+ years, it doesnt have the required DRM. I paid £270 for a graphics card which also doesnt have DRM compliance and isnt dx10 compatable either.

Most of your posts since you joined have said the same thing; and you joined shortly before Vista's release. If I didn't know better I'd think you were a Microsoft shill :)
 
I actually looked on MS's website (after getting a promotional email from MS this morning) about the compelling reasons to upgrade from XP to Vista. It was full of rubbish reasons like IE7 and WMP11 (erm they're both in XP by the way...) and it also said 'Vista boots much quicker, no more waiting TWO MINUTES for XP to boot' - :confused: Erm XP boots in about 30 seconds for me so I'm not sure what they're on about there.
