Hope it's Ok to vent my annoyance on your site, but Microsoft has not replied to my feedback & I need somewhere to post this note I sent them. Perhaps they'll read it here, Thanks; No reply needed Dear Microsoft, My computer was reduced to a crawl this morning. I closed Firefox which was bizarrely using 70% of my processor despite being on an empty page. I tried a virus check (of course very slow!), I shut everything down. I tried a new version of Explorer instead, but that also killed my computer's performance. I now realise it was the Windows Vista update being downloaded. Could I ask that you (Microsoft) to tell your Windows users when you are downloading an update, so us customers know that it's you that is knobbling our computers. A option might then be given then that your update is only to be downloaded slowly, when the processor is idle. Surely that would be a (rather blindingly) obvious option to offer? After the download, when 'update then shut down' got threatened by Windows, I picked the last of the 3 options given (option 1) shut down now : 2) shut down in 10 minutes & 3) in 4 hours. So 4 hours later, (57 minutes into a great movie) everything closed down. Microsoft gave no notice and no option was given to delay close-down until later. Surely a (blindingly obvious) 4th & default option should be offered that Microsoft updates when the computer is shut down, at the end of a day? Thanks geoff Sorry.

But for gaming its even worse then windows 95! Its a shame that a company with so much money makes this crap. And dont even think they care, becouse they will get the money anyway. Windows XP is good, they should have taken that one as example and build from there. Vista is just a misplaced idea, they mixed up all the options wich should make things ''easyer'' to find. But it only makes it more complicated becouse people are used to the oldscool options (wich is realy obvious afcourse). I other words, vista is a big fail, dont buy it!

I for one bought a gateway laptop which came installed with Vista. I detected a problem with the OS within months of using it when I realized that it wouldn't install some critical updates but out of fear of losing my files and being without a PC I persevered. Now recently I tried to install SP1 and the OS crashed completely. Now Gateway, as well as other PC repair companies wants me to come out of pocket to pay for the necessary repairs. During this whole fiasco I have heard nothing out of Microsoft and I'm wondering why weren't PC's recalled that had Vista installed, similar to what they do with cars that have factory faults. How much more are the consumers suppose to take, is this 'fair', is this even legal, or is Microsoft's money so vast that they can treat the consumer like this and get away?

After ten calls to dell each session lasting from one to two and a half hours I was told that vista had a glitch in it and to correct this problem I would be required to purchase Windows 7 at a cost of 150.00 I also contacted microsoft and was told the same thing.Has anyone else had this problem.

There seems to be no end to the glitches and problems that come with trying to use it.When I purchased my system I had no idea I would have to constantly research how to reprogram it so it would function as expected. Perhaps it will find it's purpose as an anchor for my boat. Microsoft people must have been desperate for cash to jam vista into the market before it could even work out the obvious bugs!

What a difference a few weeks make. Bought Windows7 and parted with my hard earned cash to Mr Gates, all seemed to be going well except for the occasional "non-responding" program but about a week ago the "BLUE SCREEN MEANIE" started. So now i not only have to put up with the non-responding programs but the unexplained non-warning of blue screen crashes which when you are in the middle of work it is damned inconvenient. he blue screen crashes are at about 3 a day give or take. So. . . and this may sound strange but I do miss the reasonable stability of Vista and I definitely miss Xp, not sure what goes on at Microsoft these days apart from making buckets of money for my "friend" Bill but I am seriously considering a MAC because windows sucks.
