I'm sick of this "just get more ram!" bullshit. My 286 did almost as much functionality-wise as my current multi-ghz machine. Yeah, really. Sure, there was no multi-tasking, but I did the mostly the same things as I do today.
Hello, fuckers, just because you can eat ram doesn't mean you should. It costs money and also reduces the number of programs you can run.
I can see it now: in another ten years programs will have minimum footprint of 1GB, but they'll just do more of the same.
Those things got added because of rules not made by Microsoft, if Linux violates rules, they'll change it too.
Okay, Linux got a 'free' sound format, what slows you down from using it on Windows?
And Activation... If you write a commercial Operating System, and it took you for example 4 years to do it, do you want to see it spread like a Torrent with a crack?
Use Google, make yourself a notepad/vim with all the features Vista has more than XP... You'll be amazed.
One example:
Press Windows Key and
1. Type 'adobe', it will list all Adobe products you have.
2. Type 'live m' followed by enter, Windows Live Messenger will start! (Same for e-mails, favorites, history, indexed locations, ...)
>>121 I've tryed out some Vista Distributions including Ubuntu, Mandriva and Fedora, but after all my opinion is that Vista is better. If you don't know how it all works and didn't think trough about it, then don't even care about placing a statement about it.
Take your own advice, dipshit.

You can't opt out of Vista's DRM bullshit, so your argument falls flat.

Broken business model is broken.
Even Apple knows better.

Second example:
The whole aero thing, alt-tab, 3d desktop view, hover over your taskbar items, 3d wallpaper, ...

I don't run XP. I'm comparing Vista to Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is winning for me by a long way, everything considered. There's also no DRM/activation bullshit to worry about (and pay for, which you're FORCED to do if you buy Windows)
>>126
Wow, you're so ignorant you don't even know enough about Vista's DRM scheme or its activation niggerdom to correctly interpret the complaint.
I (>>123) told you to take your own advice because you clearly haven't ever tried running Linux. Nor, apparently, Vista itself.
GTFO.
>>130
The fact that it's written by a third party is completely meaningless in the context of open source software.
If you don't like its features, you can turn them off individually.

Actually no. This is the whole point. The people who do thing ILLEGALLY have the DRM stripped. Legitimate customers have to put up with DRM restrictions and nagging.
GTFO.

Vista is actually just Microsoft trolling us, in about a year they will release the real Vista and laugh at us for being dumb enough to think that the current vista was actually an OS and not the worlds biggest virus

Yeah. Too bad it will be a server operating system. Might as well use some flavor of Unix.

Vista works fine for me as long as you have enough ram. i mean even one 1gb is fine. but when it is idling on my pc with no programs running, ram is being used at about 25 or 30%.
so i dont know why all you fucking idiots say VISTA sucks! GO CHOKE ON YOUR FUCKING COCK!

You need to spend a day running around the town in stealth mode killing people before you can really decide which OS is for you

"so i dont know why all you fucking idiots say VISTA sucks!"
Because it's made by an abusive monopolistic company who only cares about their revenue, and doesn't give a flying shit about the users?
Microsoft have already admitted that Vista is there to keep their revenue flowing, XP is more than good enough for the vast majority of people and it's even better with SP3. In any case, I'm now using Linux and haven't looked back, as it's developing faster than any Windows OS. Fuck Vista.

Lamest excuse I've herd from a vista owner: Vista eat waste RAM, it uses RAM that would otherwise by unused and not utilized.

It hardly "uses" ram, it just intelligently caches it. Linux has been doing that for ages, Windows just finally caught up. If a program needs ram, it takes ram that was previously allocated to the cache. It hardly costs anything and causes your programs to load much more quickly.
