Is Vista really THAT bad?

[artguybri@googlemail.com]

I have a new Dell that came with 3Gig of RAM. I have had no slowdowns, crashes or problems running Vista on it. I Love the new features and cannot think off hand of anything wrong with it.

Vista rules....................if your rig is powerfull enough!!!

the interface is the most horrible and user-unfriendly thing ive ever seen and the layout just makes life hard....stick with xp

I believe someone else said this, just disable User Account Control

I can barely play CSS on there.

I thought Vista was recommended to have at least 2GB of RAM?
Try tweaking your services...

Well I have Vista, and I think, like someone else said, its trendy to hate Vista. It really isn't all that bad, it does have quite a bit more flaws in it than XP does, and I do get more stupid small problems, e.g. Windows Explorer stops responding because I used the volume wheel on the outside of my lappy instead of clicking to change it. If you have the proper system specs, and tweak the services, you can get your Vista Computer to go from completely off to desktop in less than one minute. I've done it! Overall, I prefer Ubuntu over Vista though...

Vista is great in my opinion. I have two PCs one with vista, and one with XP.

I've never had any real compatibility issues to where my program wouldn't run. Most of the time I can just easily solve it by running it as an administrator, or in XP compatibility mode. I'd pick vista over XP any day.

Vista SUCKED, but they've updated it now to become good-ish
