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.

I had so much trouble with freezing, losing some options on certain windows, blue screens and non responding programs that I experimented an found that it was better to down grade to 32 bit vista. I know what you are going to say "you must have had a 32 bit program in there that was messing up the 64 bit". Fact is the troubles started before I put any programs on there and I did the "vista compatible thing" with all the programs on the MS website. So I have been running 32 bit vista since about january and things were okay for a while but now it does not matter what program I run I am confronted with the dreaded "non responding" program again and the "your computer has had a major meltdown and has had to shut down". If I had a dollar for every "non responding program I would be a millionare. God I hope Windows 7 is better than this piece of junk. I am so desperate I am going to camp outside the store to get the program. The reviews I have read sound promising even from a few "Apple" people so I hope it is as good as they say.

How about a class action lawsuit. I have spent thousands on problems with Vista. I am so hot right now, I'd love to get these people in a room.

So I went to a shop to try and get a laptop with XP on it, but no joy.I had heard Vista is a 'bit crap' but I was stuck for time and needed something in a hurry, and I thought to myself "well I'll manage it and adapt as I go".Boy was I wrong! It is just a total and utter piece of garbage. It won't run many of my previous music programs (necessary for my work), it won't recognise my video camera, is so slow its unbelievable (to simply rename a folder takes about 3/4's minute), some programs loaded but won't save the file - useless.Every time I go to run a certain program (even as an admin, I have to 'allow' it - EVERYTIME, no such thing as 'remember my answer for this program'). The list goes on and on. I have come so close to f**king it out the window so many times - pardon my French but it makes me so angry.A job I'm working on at the moment which would normally take a couple of hours to do (recording guitar demos), so far has taken me 3 days to do as the recording function keeps disappearing. I estimate I may get the job finished in a week at the current rate as opposed to what would normally take me 2 hours with XP.Even typing this post is taking ages as it keeps 'freezing and slowing down' as I type.I'm gonna bring it back to the shop next week and demand a refund or something with XP on it or a copy of XP which I may be able to install after formatting the whole PC. Not sure if that'll work but worth a try.It seems to me that Vista was released WAY before testing on it was done. I think its an INSULT to any poor unfortunate who bought it, or should I say was forced to buy it. It'll probably explode here in front of me as I write about its numerous faults.What an absolute crock of ...Yours,Mr. Angry with Vista.P.S. Vista?

Boy was I wrong! It is just a total and utter piece of garbage. It won’t run many of my previous music programs (necessary for my work), it won’t recognise my video camera, is so slow its unbelievable (to simply rename a folder takes about 3/4’s minute), some programs loaded but won’t save the file – useless.
