Is Vista really THAT bad?

god damnit, pspdude you have no right to say who gets to post in a thread. its called a community for a reason. thats very immature to try and bar someone off when all they want to do is provide facts/opinions related to the topic. lets grow up people

DAMNIT NUMBER! YOU ARE THE MAN! haha

but yeah Vista IMO sucks, but thats only cuz i havent really used it. My sisters laptop has vista, and from what i have done on it, it seems okay. From what i hear, its a RAM beast, but you can upgrade the RAM no problem (so i think) but yeah, i would like to get more comfortable with VISTA, but im sticking with XP for now

What can I say about Vista, hmmmmmmmmm slow comes to mind and o, who's ever heard of keeping things simple? MS seems to have made a maze of all the new menu/options/configurations bla bla, o why do I have to to click the mouse half a dozen times just to get to a simple menu when XP only took one or two.....LOL

Please Mac's, no seriously go linux! (also runs and hides

).

You didnt know what happend so shut your mouth before you say anything you dont know about. Go to the future consoles thread and you'll know why.

excuse me? FYI i read the thread. just because i dont post in it does not mean im not involved. like i said earlier, grow and pair and mature. do you think that your alone? ive had my share of disputes on here, and the real world is the same. you might have this same situation, of course in a different manner. and what are you going to say then?

pspdude201 · 07-04-2008, 07:49 PM

What I say is that if you had that happen to you, you wouldnt want 3 tards jacking your thread again.

NuMB3Rs · 07-04-2008, 09:20 PM

3.You search via my computer? Even if, change the indexed searches so the start menu searches everywhere.. You can change the indexed searches.
4.Get a better pc or disable all the eyecandy.
5.Just start using "Safely remove device" and it stops doing that.
6.Damn, you got me stumped there. I don't know what to say. Oh I don't need to change my time, it updates automatically. I believe since 95 they started doing that -_-.
7.I never have defraged yet so I'm not sure what you're talking about; that and defraging your PC doesn't remove anything, read up on what a defrag does.
8.The digital certificate error - applies to IE 7
9.NO TRUE ADMIN account, aka root, has ever been applied in Windows, root is not an accessible account in any windows. It's always been like this.

I don't know, maybe I'm just the only person who doesn't have a problem with vista? I bought my PC for $700 and I haven't been limited to any game [excluding crysis] or anything because of Vista.

#1. correct, you can stop them, but you cannot remove them from the memory. this was my gripe. they are loaded, not running.
#2. programs=services whatever. the core services are exactly what im bitching about. there is no need whatsoever to have the notepad not running, but sitting idle in the services.
#3. yes, i search the entire computer. you cannot change how the index search works. you can get into the control panel and tweak it, but it will not search the entire computer.
#4. ive posted my specs. im sure my pc is among the best in these forums.
#5. you dont get it. Where is the option to completely disable scan disk? sure, i can click no everytime, but thats not my argument. sure, i can click on safely remove hardware, but thats not my argument.
#7. however it works, defrag has always removed files that have been uninstalled. ive proven my point in this thread that was started months ago:
http://www.pspmod.com/forums/tech-di...-pictures.html
those files were uninstalled yet they were still there.
#8. ok, so you admit its for ie7. Ive never used IE7. in fact, when i bought my computer, i used my external hdd to transfer mozilla onto it. so IE has never been opened. so the reason im getting this error, has to be vista related.. aka another problem.

vista is the 'dummy OS'.
"vista has simplified searching"
"vista has simplified scan disk"
"vista has simplified start up"
all this means is that options were removed that were vital to tweak your system.
The only way vista will ever be faster then xp is if vista releases a service pack that gives these options back to us.

you say you have no problem running crysis on your pc.
get a copy of xp pro and do a dual boot
tweak everything you can on vista
using your video card, do a frame rate check on both OS, then tell us why xp is so much faster.

My mum's laptop is vista. I have to click on about 8 security notifications to open a program or run some files, its for total n00bs
the interface is the most horrible and user-unfriendly thing ive ever seen and the layout just makes life hard....stick with xp

pspdude201 · 07-05-2008, 12:15 AM

there was in the other thread and I dont want it to happen to this one. Yeah thats one thing I REALLY hate about Vista. Yeah its got a great protection, but you can't do anything with it.
