    Hello you guys,

    No, no, I aint saying Vista sucks I love it its just type:
    'Vista Sucks' into YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

    You get like a million hate videos, all about why Vista is 'terrible'
    I love Vista, I really don't understand why people say that, yeah there is some issues with getting some XP Programs to run on vista, there always is if there is another OS out new. Everyone has to start giving things a chance.
    This is propbably the best OS I've ever used, even the design on it is sleek.

    What do all of you think?


    I think maybe when vista was out brand new some people may not be able to afford it so, they started with the roomers "Vista is a piece of ..."

    Vista is being un-appreciated and I'm not agreeing or disagreeing I'm just saying my heart-filled opinion honestly, I have a great computer I'm so proud of it I even clean it everyday!

    i hate it... got it on my laptop, i went back to xp. I just don't like the look of it. It also has alot of unnecessary things on it that just slow the computer. XP does the job with 3 times the speed. OH and dont say my computer is crap. It has heaps of ram and can run vista easily.

    I think the fact you guys is running slow is either you don't have the best of proccessors or you fill it with crap, I scan my PC everyday.

    Vista does some stuff I cannot explain. Most commonly, unplugging speakers and replacing them with headphones, and vice versa. What happens is, I must then check off which form of audio projection I am using, and then restart all open windows, or else some things won't work. Like youtube will stop playing at 2 seconds, and has no sound. I did the same with XP, but that doesn't happen like it does in vista. I also am unused to the Vista Explore, and the Vista start menu thingy. But those are things I guess I will get used to. Is it is bad as it is made out to be? No. Is it a pain in the ass to get used to? So far, yes.

    It's been awhile since I have had the chance to give -rep....

    But srsly, I see no way that makes Vista bad... short of the fact sites like this are maintained with someone using Vista...

    i don't like it that much cause im not at my house and this computor is suposed to run faster then mine but it doesn't this computor was made in 2008 and my computor was made in 2003 and it has xp and it goes fine. vista takes like 5 secs to load the screen and osmetimes it just sits there and you have to clcik the liunk again to get it there so i don't like vista at all its because of the unnesicary programs

    I just removed all unnessasaries the day I got it, took less than 10 minutes.

    One thing I don't like about Vista:
    The constant updates theres like a 1000000000000 out there at the moment.

    that's actually a good idea... I would have to set mine to way earlier, but I might try something like that.

    I've got Vista and I love it. So what if it can't run some older XP software?

    The ONLY unsolvable problem I have with it is that it causes my IE to crash. I guess I technically fixed that by switching to Firefox though...

    ....LOLWUT?
    What are the specs of the computer? If it isn't as crap as you say it is, then it wouldn't slow down the computer that badly...

    I run vista right now, but I don't really have any problems with it. The Windows Explorer is better than XP's so I'll stick with this.

    Someone has obviously never used a Mac....

    An hour on a Mac machine will show you why Vista is such a load. Ive had a MacBook for two years and hate using my parents computers that run XP.

    I put up with vista because it looks so much better than xp. Also, my old computer was the slowest piece of sht ever, so vista, IMO, is faaaast.
