I think that most vista problems are user errors/familiarity issues. Coming from someone who works on computers day in and day out, vista seriously has very few problems. Users have a pre-disposed vista hatred in part due to the new feel and different layout. If you are having problems, there is almost always a “classic view” of just about anything that XP had. Also, try vista ultimate. It is by far the best OS I’ve used including all versions of Linux and OS-X. I also sell and build pcs on the side and so many people ask for XP without ever trying Vista. They themselves have never run into a problem with it and aren’t trying it mosly due to the poor public image of the OS. A little know-how and a little research have led me out of every single problem I’ve run into. Every third party software developer had problems due to microsoft’s privacy policies but with MS finally opening the software code to developers, soon there won’t be any compatibility issues. I guess good job Apple, their hate and fear mongering have helped their sales but in most cases, it has scared consumers from making the next logical step in OS choice. Sure windows 7 is on the way and will be here in most likely under a year, but there is no GOOD reason not to switch. So buy a new computer (preferably a quality brand, powerful CPU, and adequate RAM) and you will have a far better experience than you will with outdated XP machines and/or new Apple comps with their anti-business machines. Stop believing everything you hear and try it yourself to make you own decision.

I think you are knit-picking…I don’t have any of those problems…Vista runs fine. Maybe you have the wrong system for what you want to do?
I’ve had the home version for over a year and haven’t experienced any of the problems you or other sites complain about…

Hey Chris,

(I would recommend re-reading number 56, and also number 60.)

I probably would’ve noticed about 25% of those, but all of them somehow irritate me, and plenty to not bother with Vista (until you say so, because you’re working with it and I’m avoiding it like it’s ME).

Hello people, look at the time it was posted that was like almost 2 yrs ago -Before RTM released-. Yeah at first vista does have problems but all these things are fixed by now . Anyway I’m a Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista user but still prefer vista. Its now much much better than comparing March 2007. I suggest you get vista when sp1 officially release. I am using the Vista SP1 Release candidate refresh 2 and i see improvement with games playing at higher frame rates and quality and overall performance. Dont trust third party sources from the internet they are inaccurate and are a bunch of liars. DRM lets you play licensed content and it will not block you from playing music or videos illegally downloaded. I have tried it DRM is only applicable to videos purchased from websites to prevent mass sharing like renting a movie from a website. People usually have this misconception of drm preventing illegal content from playing. If you wanna run vista well get at last 1 .5 gb and geforce 7+++.

atleast three so called vista issues are readyboost related, may i correct you to research further into what ready boost is.

it is not a RAM increase,

it is in a laymans term a increase or a substitute for virtual memory and swapfilling.

things like the saving of data at shutdown and startup. virtual memory is slow compared to RAM/Flash memory so instead of using the hard drive as temporal storage it is saved on Flash drive.

for speed up of file copying and shutdown/startup. NOT ram for tasks like photo editing and game play.

This is great info. I was looking for the problem that I have with Vista. I installed Office Professional and Outlook when installed on Vista does not store the password. Everytime I do anything in Outlook I have to input the password again and again and again.

Windows Vista is the worst thing to ever hit the market. I bought a brand new Sony Vaio with Vista on it and it has crash twice already. I have only had it for 4 months!

I can’t believe that they call that an operating system. Funny thing is that when I talked to Sony, the drivers for my particular model are not out yet for me to instal XP. I bought a new computer hoping to get rid of an older Dell laptop, but I find myself still using it.

Any suggestions as to what to do? And why the h*ll was I not able to right click in Vista??? RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
