I also hate everything about this bloated piece of garbage – I inherited a powerfull desktop with vista on it and it is slower than my old laptop which has XP. It takes 2.5 hours to copy files that my laptop does in 28 mins. I am going to UPGRADE to XP.

I totally agree with the disgruntlement expressed about VISTA. To be asked several times if I want to proceed with an action that I initiated irritates every time it happens! It is slow! Despite adding extra memory to my laptop everything could still be done faster by a snail. I am always left speechless when an “open folder” action is followed by this great delay while VISTA populates the list representing the contents of the folder. And then, add to that, every so often you seek to do something with your computer, its settings or programs and get a Windows response “you dont have the security permission to carry out that action”. I’m continually surprised that nowhere in the world has someone tried to take a case court arguing that they have been sold a defective product or a product which not up to the task it is described to do in terms of commercial consumer protection law.

it’s so interesting how all you vista haters, like me……are all making it sound like you have no choice.

you do have a choice. no one is forcing you to use vista, unless it’s a company computer.

change.

at least you have an option to change.

yeah, it sucks that you’ll have to do some sort of major backup, deal with incompatible programs, etc., yada, yada…..

life sometimes give you lemons (i.e. vista). but move on. i’m sure it’s certainly a minor bump in the road.

people in the gulags in NK have no choice. they cannot change.

I have used Vista for a year now and can honestly say that I hate everything about it. The overdone graphics and transitions. The way is sucks the life out of any computer processor. The way it sucks up all the RAM and HD space. The NAG SCREENS make me want to smash the computer. The security features are annoying and useless. No network browser. The way it tries to automatically search and do other tasks. I HATE THIS GARBAGE. I’ve downgraded to TinyXP with SP3 and love it.

I have two new computers…HPs and I detest Vista. the worst thing is that I have no choice in what I buy. The hidden cost of Microsoft and the monopoly is distastfull.
I have also a eee-pc with Linux and it is delightfull. fast, easy to use and no bloatware.

I hate Vista so much. I got a free replacement computer from Dell when mine caught fire, the caveat was it came with vista.
There are so many things I despise about Vista, where to begin?
The email. Everything they did to it.
I use multiple ids and I’m screwed now. It is ridiculously stupid.
Next I discovered if you get an email address wrong, it takes 29 attempted sends before it corrects and gets rid of it.
WTF is that?
You actually have to go into the registry to fix a bad email address!!
Gee Microsoft, you force feed the world your crappy system, then you get everyone fricking trained and then you decide to change everything.
I hate hate hate this entire Vista!

It’s unconscionable what you Windows users have to put up with! You should give Linux a try: http://www.ubuntu.com/

People I know using Vista are complaining that when you use the IME to input Japanese, the blasted OS decides that you must be using a JIS keyboard and moves the @ and ” and so on all around the place. Is there a Korean-standard keyboard layout that gets forced on you, even with a US keyboard attached, I wonder?
