THINGS THAT SUCK ABOUT VISTA

Using various methods, I have a version of Vista working on this machine.  I did this to test it out and learn about it.  I will revisit this thread occasionally with new reports about what sucks about it.

Things that I have just discovered that suck about it:
- The Sidebar.  It's fucking GAY.  Who needs 2 clocks on their desktop?  What the fuck is the point of the little tiny slideshow?  Oh wow, the current DATE in a big font behind a cutesy little piece of paper.  Fucking femfags.  Gb2/active desktop.  I'm glad my version of Windows didn't have the sidebar.
- The fact that you have to have the untrustworthy Windows Update service running to run any .msu update files from Microsoft.
- The whole "digital locker" concept.  Thanks for being other comapnies' DRM bitch.
- Why can't I disable my network adapter from the taskbar icon.  I have to fucking click through 10 menus to find that option.
- Event viewer SUCKS ASS.  It won't show me the text of the event when I have it selected.  I have to click and go to another window.
- Too many goddam services running when my machine isn't doing anything.
- The font used on the Vista visual style on menu titles, it looks too faggy.
- Beta drivers only for my graphics card?  WTF?
- No drivers for my onboard motherboard sound?  WTF?
- It renames the drive you install it on as the C:\ drive.  Micrsoft, this may be news to you but CPM died like 30 years ago.
- If you don't install it on the first partition, you still can't remove the drive letter from the first partition.
- Windows Defender.  Is this some kind of joke?
- Windows Firewall.  Still sucks.
- Disk Defragmenter.  Sucked since you got rid of the Win9x interface.  Sucks that I need it at all

Things I like about Vista so far though:
- Wow, a Downloads folder.  OMG, only took Microsoft about 10 years to figure out people download stuff!
- Even with the visual styles activated I haven't noticed any slowdown.  And my computer isn't that fast (1.3Ghz)
- Don't see any performance issues with programs I'm running yet.

More as I use it more...

Thanks for stating the obvious (except for the lies about the good things), faggot.

What the fuck?  STFU and GTFO.

I think Vsita is trh best OS ever ^_________^;;

This site should have rules about harassment!  I will contact moot today and have you banned for this!

Also, I'm posting 4chan-exclusive content in /s/ later today, please enjoy!

This has fuck all to do with /prog/

Fuck off

>>Wow, a Downloads folder.  OMG, only took Microsoft about 10 years to figure out people download stuff!

You're kidding? How long did it take for you?I have a download folder that has subgroups for my programs(bt, mirc, etc).
>>Things that I have just discovered that suck about it:

People are always demanding more secure & user friendly & eye candy. Microsoft compiles these ideas onto their new OS. IN BEFOAR THIS IS CLOSED SOURCE,

This belongs in the computers text board. gtfo

Why the fuck did you care to try Vista, then write that list?

I can tell you things that suck about Vista:
- The Mother Russia of OSes: computer manages you.
- Digital AIDS everywhere.
- Microsoft shit, luser bloatware everywhere.
- Defective by design.
- More shit I'm not bothering to describe (e.g. OpenGL over D3D to fuck with portable games, requires Microsoft and mafiaa-approved hardware to play HD, etc).

Good things about Vista:
- For now, you can refuse to use Windows Vista, even in the United States.
- It can be erased, its DVDs can be broken, its boxes burnt.
- It doesn't have anything to do with real operating systems such as Linux (AKA GNAA/Lunix) or *BSD.
- It's helping Linux and free software by disgusting Windows power users who are moving to Linux and free software.
- It's an inflection point in Microsoft's evil business. Hopefully things will never go so good for them from now on.

ever tried running .net under-resourced? now add vista to the equation.

fuck vista. i'm headed back to win2000 fucktards. way to progress the industry M$

<-- /comp/ is that way

There's a few things I like about Vista

1. The games explorer or whatever is pretty useful if you have several games installed.  Makes them easy to find.
2. I like how when I rename a file in explorer the extensions is not highlighted.
3. I can crop pictures with the Picture viewer.

Oh yeah that's all.

>>13
pssst. the picture view crop is old tech from word.

i just wanted to see billy boys face when they told him this piece of shit cost over $6bil.

to be a fly on the wall in that meetings *sigh*

>>13
OMG you're a pompous retard.

The games explorer or whatever is pretty useful if you have several games installed.  Makes them easy to find.
LOL games explorer LOL OMG AWESOMECOOL. Create a stupid fucking start menu, moron.

I like how when I rename a file in explorer the extensions is not highlighted.
I'll like how you'll be fucked up when you want to do real work with it (protip: "letter i wrote to my mother.doc" is not real work). Extensions ARE part of file names.

I can crop pictures with the Picture viewer.
OMG what an awesome feature! Now I'll get Windows Vista for $300 bux! I've been doing that with about any software since I can fucking remember!

#2 was stolen from Nautilus. And it's not like it's that innovative to begin with.

Hi, I'm the OP.

Got a virus on Vista downloading a crack for a firewall.  Have to reinstall.

$349 for THIS?

we know vista sucks

>>17
send an invoice to M$ for wasting yours (and our) fucking time.

Are you GAY?
Are you a NIGGER?
Are you a GAY NIGGER?

If you answered "Yes" to all of the above questions, then GNAA (GAY NIGGER ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA) might be exactly what you've been looking for!
