Default I hate Vista!
I will try to make this brief since I have tried to post this a number of times already and it just vanishes after a point ... usually after I mention Windoz Vista!
This Vista sucks beyond belief! There are so many things I hate about it, but what is up with this clock in the lower right hand corner constantly changing, for no apparent reason, to HOURS away from where I set it, over and over and over again?
I hate this OS with a fervent passion! This lousy Vista is to operating systems what triangle wheels would be on a race car!
F***!
If this OS was a car I would be able to sue Microextortion under the Lemon Law for selling something that has no business being for sale on the market.
...and why the hell doesn't this lousy OS come with a lousy spell checker in WordPad after all these years? Like, WTF?!?

From what I understand, the Vista OS just isn't practical due to the power it requires to run it. A processor upgrade if you want the premium and all.

I wasn't saying anything about your computer.
Have you tried Microsoft support yet?

nothing new seems to be good it takes time to improve with all the money they make and countless amount of hours spent on the product resourses can't be an excuse i consider vista to be a beta product after two or so years it will be ok. i sold my laptop due to vista being on it i tryed to put xp on it but that did nothing eaither. the system was ok untill i put a few programs onit then i took 15 or so minutes to load once i had what i wanted and the system was stright out of the box.
wait for the improvements then purchase anything that's new that's the only way to make sure it's ok with many things let everyone else complain first then make an east purchase.

That's what I do. I won't move to Vista for at least a year or more.
I'll wait for the Vista Service Pack to come out. (We all know it's coming)

Don't worry, a new version will be out soon. It will be called 'Hasta La Vista'.
Do yourself a favor, buy a copy of Windows XP Pro, and if you really need Vista... go with a dual boot system. Many people have had a very hard time with Vista, especially the gamers. It will take some time for this OS to mature just like XP did. I did install Vista on my new build and I found it somewhat slow and not at all as fast as XP Pro after I apply the tweaks I use for XP. So, off it came and Vista will remain in the box gathering dust until I am forced to install it at a further date. I found overclocking and benchmarking to be more difficult to obtain the blazing speeds I am used to seeing my processor do. If you play games on your computer, I would suggest XP Pro. It does out perform Vista........ for the moment.

I use vista ultimate, and I personally love it. I havent experienced one problem, or one crash. My games and office 2007 run fine on it.
Then again, I have AMD Duo Core 4400+, 2 gig of ram, GeForce 8800 ( my baby my baby ) so I feel all good about my system.
I know, I'm a nerd, what can I say?

I am getting ready to upgrade to a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ with 4 gigs of ram. Its going to be SWEEET!
I'm still deciding whether or not to switch to Vista.
Stick with XP until Service Pack 1 comes out for Vista. And even then only get Vist Ultimate, since it's 64-bit and can support 4 gigs of ram. All new Vista/XP games (or at least Microsoft ones) will be available for both 32 and 64-bit versions. 4GB RAM+DX10=win, and Vista Ultimate actually has driver support, unlike XP x64 or most other 64-bit platforms.
I tried Vista Home Premium for a few months (32-bit; nothing really different from XP 'cept it's more noob-friendly and aesthetically pleasing) and it wasn't really worth the money. Then out of the blue it had a fatal error and all my files got corrupted. I'm now going back to Debian and XP.

Sorry, what? I think you mean supports over 4 gigs, as in 128+ gigs. Besides, there's 32 and 64 bit ultimate, and the max ram support varies between home/home premium/business/ultimate 64 bit by a big range

Most modern motherboards don't have more than 4 RAM slots though, meaning although a 64-bit OS could theoretically have more RAM it isn't likely that it'll happen any time soon.

It's called thinking ahead, holmes, besides, 2gb x 4 slots = 8, that's already above the 32 bit cap by double.
