What sucks is that my high school is STILL using Vista....personally, I'd prefer they with to Mac, but AT LEAST Windows 7!! Even my elementary school has Windows 7!
Windows Vista's majour downfall was also the fact that Microsoft was experimenting with a new, database-like files system, but transferred back to the standard NTFS, when that happened much of its bugs still transferred over too. Much of the compatibility issues were also caused by the files system testing. However, with the Service Pack 2 update, everything is rather stable, so I still run Windows Vista Ultimate on my main desktop, and Win 7 Ult. on other one.
Microsoft have improved Windows Vista with service packs for the people who wish to keep Windows Vista. Also since Microsoft are changing Windows so that it works better on older machines now (Windows 7 and soon 8) shows that they care. Windows 8 is supposed to set it self up according to your hardware so that it runs fluently :)
windows vista runs bad on a weak computer BUT BUY A GOOD ONE!!!! with like 4GB of ram and a quad core like mine and vista runs as fast as 7 I have a slow computer and a fast computer vista will not work on a slow computer only on fast ones.
I have never had any problems with vista and like it better than windows 7 as I find it faster and have never had problems but I have a really good computer.
@paulph12002 I don't get why your comment was removed, perhaps Chris was a big ME fan. Anyway, In my opinion, I'm starting to kinda think Microsoft is a huge fail altogether considering what all the other OS's are capable of these days. Microsoft needs to just clean the slate and start fresh and build an OS on a stable foundation. My Windoze 7 computer still freezes and crashes for no reason and I barely go on the internet with it, I just play games. Its stupid. I use OS X now, and its awesome.
They just add a whole bundle to Vista, that's why Vista weren't that compatible. They probably forgotten about compatibility, like Windows 95 or 98, which still has the VxD.
so, out of anger, due to crashes that i experience whenever i update my windows vista(+ other factors), i slammed shut my qosmio laptop and surprised i didn't break it. the cool thing about that is that i found out that my laptop isnt that fragile, but, my OS is. i don't know, but i just lost my trust and enthusiasm in windows anymore.
hey, everytime i open my computer i see a message says windows genue something like that i need help to update windows vista. if you can help me please responed.
He is more upset than me LOL no wait I am more upset than him LOL today 2012 I found my unused copy of windows ultimate vista and the price that I pay for it... OMG Can I sued Microsoft.... The only good ting that came out of that episode for me was that I purchase and IMAC and have never had problems with my computing endeavors ever. GET A MAC...
i don't know why people complain about vista...is like vista was the ugly child of the family. i've been running vista 4 years now and not a single problem...maybe vista don't let geeks hackin' things so that's a bad thing in their minds...is like the apple people no matter how expensive or crappy they will always like apple..same with geeks don't like vista so they complain...!
@wrabit79 people are complaining because it doesn't work for most of us! it may have worked for you, but many, many, many other people (myself included) have had serious problems. Vista was incredibly unstable, didn't handle drivers well, lacked support for a large range of hardware, it was a memory hog, and it was sloooooooow...
Hm..... 2001 to 2007..... ME and Vista.... So that's about 6 years technically but about 5 years literally... What do you think will happen in 2012 or 2013, if anything? XD
After 2 years I think that for most of your opinions you have been proven right. MS lost its community (If there was any kind of community). Google and a little company called Canonical (Ubuntu Linux) + Apple are emerging companies in the desktop platform.
Even though Windows 7 is out, I'm still switching to Mac. Microsoft was too lazy to fix a problematic OS, so they covered it up with another. I just don't get it, plus I like Mac OS X more.
I gotta laugh at some of you idiots. You really don't have any idea what you're talking about. The biggest issues with Vista were mostly ironed out 6 months after release, if not completely by SP1. Yes UAC can be a hassle sometimes, but when I read some of these comments.."Vista won't let me delete something". Why are you trying to delete something that requires elevated privileges? If you're that stupid, you shouldn't even have a computer. UAC doesn't even appear for most day to day activities.
@FrozenEclipse well...tbh...Windows Vista has way too many versions out. Quality is better than quantity. I have ran Windows 7 on a much lower spec PC, and also vista on the same PC. My conclusion was of course Windows 7 was much faster on file transfers, memory management and multi tasking or multi threading.
People don't realise though that Vista was a rushed product on launch day, and Windows 7 is based on the vista engine, just revamped, what it should of been lol
@FrozenEclipse I have to agree with you. Here's my point of view, if your PC has a BSOD, before saying
'vista is shit, i never got one on XP'......
fucking analyze the memory dump files or go to an online tech support forum and ask them to analyse them for you, from what ive seen online, its usually caused by a driver/incompatible program issue, upgrade/unsintall the driver, and then no more BSOD.....simples. Dont just blame the OS
@FrozenEclipse Im not saying vista is the best, but if you run vista on 1gb or lower....yes, it will probably be slow...lol, if you dont check that you have compatible hardware.......yes you will have an issue........If you don't see that UAC is there to help protect your pc harmful against processes that will use your admin credentials to execute.....it will be ''annoying'' to you.
the ONLY good thing about vista 4 me was the theme. so i just patched my uxtheme.dll file and installed a vista theme on xp and BOOM perfection. lolz. now ive moved on from xp to 7 and <3 it sooooo much
Toshiba does the same thing to there customers too. Most of witch was an error on their part, not Microsoft's, after the windows 7 upgrade came I swapped my vista HDD out with a western digital HDD to find their HDD was causing the problem to begin with. So be very careful as to what products you buy.

I HAVE BEEN USING VISTA ON TWO DIFFRENT COMPUTERS FOR TWO YEARS I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM OMG PEOPLE ARE JUST NOOBS AND DONT KNOW HOW TO USE THINGS AND IF YOU HAVE COMPATIBILITY PROBLEM GET NEW STUFF INSTEAD OF USING OLD HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE OR W/E YOU ARE USING learn to upgrade...for real dont use shity old stuff buy new thing when i have bought stuff i buy up to date stuff and so maybe thats why i dont have any problems
Grats, the few things you have purchased had drivers, not everything that everyone purchased did. And some did at least work, but did not have full features. This video is over a year old too. Right now Vista is bad, but it's not that bad. It's usable and ok and I can't knock on it too much. I'm just biding my time til 7 however.
lol what sucks is that my family (who doesn't know shit about computers) is about to get the computer fixed and they want vista still on the machine, we could get XP installed for free on there b/c the IT who does the job is a good friend of the family but the family thinks that b/c vista looks pretty that it's better, and it's like 5 against 1 so it's a losing battle
Forget Vista it was a Beta Version of WIndows 7 which blows it away. Faster Interface most of the bugs are ironed out lovely way you can pin your programs to the super bar or even the start button. It doesn't hog memory like vista or resources. You can open up multiple windows and choose which one you want quite easily. Just get 7
VISTA FTW!!! I fully support Microsoft, i even hacked my ipod video 5g to run 3.x!!! I have vista on 5 of my 6 computers, one having XP3 soon to be upgraded to vista. I buy all of the best and greatest things from Microsoft. GO BILL!!
Here is a couple of rants about Vista. I hate it when I insert a USB key It always goes 'Detecting new hardware' and spends ages thrashing the hard drive, before it mounts that USB key. Often taking over a minute to go through these actions.
Linux and OS X just mount that USB key within a matter of seconds.
And the other problem seems to be 'Calculating time to delete files'... WTF is that all about? Just bloody delete the files. It should only take a few seconds.
I hear you bro. And don't you love when you're trying to be a good boy and 'safely removing' a usb device, only to have Vista state: 'this device can't be stopped right now blah blah blah.'?
Oh frequently had that as well. Even had OS X do that trick on occasions, although not nearly as often as Windows. 'File is in use, disk can not be unmounted' or some such message, yet there is nothing obviously open.
does yours also seem to strain itself when opening a folder i swear mine spends time just thrashing the hard dive to bring up a thumbnail..if only i could find my XP install disk atleast until windows 7
there are plenty of differences between the different versions, such as the integrated features, max amount of ram (32bit all 4gb, 64bit home premium 16gb, ultimate 128gb)
I understand how you feel about Windows Chris, but I wouldn't feel sympathy for Microsoft. They have burned consumers more than once and not just on the OS side. What about the Xbox 360 and the RROD? There is also a lawsuit pending for that issue as well. They knowingly ship faulty products hoping that the latter of the community won't use enough of the advanced features of their products to notice these problems. I feel that this is the only language that they understand and will take seriously
why does everyone hate Vista?!?!?!?!?! i dont get it. i have vista and its fine, actually it's great FOR ME. XP is ok i guess. can someone tell me the diff?
windows 7 is the successor of vista.. and some people call it the "new xp" because its soo revolutionary.. andyway.. you shouldd look it up.. microsoft is alowing you to download it and get a free product key
There was onnce two hack that found a bug in windows and told how to fix it to MS. They ignored the problem and said it didn't exist. the hackers had to make a application that exploits that bug put in on the net. To shame MS into fixing the problem.
Why help them?! We, the public, have been raped by MS. They release BETA and we test it, then we thank MS for granting us updates?! The ONLY reason I need to buy MS products is so I can play my "Windows Games". As soon as a platform is developed by another company that supports popular games I will buy it exclusively. I can't believe the Linux community hasn't grabbed this opportunity by the balls. I guess the average Linux user isn't into gaming.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this guy is so full of himself that he really actually bellieve what he said ...like who the heck his he ? no seriously ? no he care for microsoft ...? get a life you throll , whe dont give a rat damn about what you think !
remard66, Chris Pirillo is getting paid for doing this. And doing this geeky stuff is fun! I mean, you get paid to do what you love! How can life be any better???
sorry to hurt some feeling but if you don't know what atrholl is ....get a life ...and who ever support this guy ...you can do better ..so my advice stop watching poeple ranting about this or that and go out and try for yourself...that chris perrillo support it or not who reallycare ?
bla, bla, bla... The real problem with Vista is that MS is way too open with regard to release timelines, etc. Apple on the other hand keeps everything a secret. I don't blame MS totally, after all they released the beta, then the RCs, then the RTM over the course of a few years. If the hardware manufactures dropped the ball, what is MS to do? When MS put off the release date, they got flack over it - they're damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Look at the shit hes saying now compare to then ALL ABOUT HARDWARE SOFTWARE TOGETHER. Now its oh just get what you perfer after seeing mac prices not change on shitty hardware.
Except no software, crap hardware, overpriced systems for nothing, functionaility of an ipod touch and Steve job promise that it will just work all for 2000+ dollars.....get a clue.
Haven't had any problem with finding software, and all of the software I find holds a really high standard!
I tried to build a win pc (on a pick-your-own-parts site) with the same hardware specs as the imac on numerus occasions, that includes a SUPERB 24" screen but i always end up around the same price. (if not more expensive if I add all the software you need to do all you can do with a mac out of the box)
4GB of ram and 4GB of ram ain't always the same thing if you catch my drift.
dunno what brand, could not find that info. But it is DDR3 clocked to 1067MHz. You can have all the ram in the would but without any speed it's worthless..
Well that isn't really the fastest ddr 3 around. And besides I prefer a own build computer with windows and linux on it, a lot cheaper and you don't have to pay an extra 249 euro's for 1 more year extra support "apple care". I prefer the 3 year or on some parts even lifetime with no extra cost
no you shouldn't, Vista is designed for newer computers while your computer was designed to run XP.
the fact that you cant play the latest game it does not mean that the game sucks.
and yes Linux is better in many aspects but you cant use many programs on it. So if you want to have an OS that has little systems resource sure use Linux your system would realy if ever be run on it maximum capability.
if all u are going to do is use Open office and search the web any winnows can to that fine
An Operating System is an Operating System, it should run on older and newer systems too.
You don't sound like an expert, because I've been able to run quite a few Windows Programs. The only time where I wasn't able to run something is if its a Program like a Windows-Based Anti-Infection. Either than that I can live without Windows.
Vista was designed knwing that newer computer are much more capable so they put alot of extra features to make it look good as well as safety features and others.
y would the average person need more than one license? all computer come with on or more.
the only time one would need more than one license is if they have build their machine. If you did that and Vista didnt ran well its because you didnt build it right to run vista.
vista sucks fucking donkey dick i bought vista ultimate AND put it on a brand spanking new machine with 3 gbs of ram and a dual core with 256 mb graphics card. it still sucked fucking ass. i have used windows 95,98,me,2000,xp vista and am now on the release candidate of windows 7, and i must say vista is too bloated even with sp1, and it does not know how to utilize the full potentail of your graphics card. and constant use causes vista to sometimes fail.:(
i dont knw what your situation is but everyone that i knw likes it and i liked it too when i tried it. I still run xp cause i dont want to waste my money buying a new OS when mine is just fine.
y did you buy it? didnt ur computer come with an OS?
im not familiar with the GPU situation u r talking about but i knw Vista has a new better way to utilize ur ram.
the pc came with home premium and i thought in upgrading it. and just because you didnt come across a problem dosnt mean that its fine. vista is one of the worst operating systems ever built. needing 2gbs of ram to make it run smooth is insane. and dont insult my intelligence by saying it utilizes ram better. Please.!!!!! Ive worked in I.T. for 9 years and its the most bloated piece of shit i ever seen. but on the plus side it looks pretty. lol.
given that most computers that would come with such an operating system would have more then 2 gigs its really no problem
and vista does infact have a better way of utilizing ur ram. It learns your habbits and pre loads data to the ram so that it wont need to do it later allowing for your applications to launch faster. it can also use any USB storage devices as ram.
yes it looks prety that is because windows wanted to be more competitive with the macs and linux which looked better the xp.
if you didnt like it the first time why did you piss away the money of an upgrade knwing well that windows editions are pretty much the same and their differences are minute.
sounds like you are having buyers remorse and not a real problem.
i dont even knw when was i insulting you intelligence but if you like to bitch y would u say that "im sorry are you fucking insane!!!!!!!" seems like an insult to me. I really dont care though.
He is slowly realizing the reality of a monopolist corporation.
A monopolist corporation doesn't care about giving you a good product, its only care is about the way to get the most money out of you, event if that means releasing a bad product.
But that is not minding Open Source. Open source is the only way to fight monopolist companies, by giving the users reliable and free alternatives.
It took Microsoft to release its worst product ever for the users to realize it. It's time to act.
First i Can tell you the difference between them all BUT I must admit i had to look in to it when i first upgraded to vista its not that hard to find out..
2nd I agree vista was not ready at its launch and should be said about every window OS cmon xp was ready?????
3rd most of the computability have been solved after sp1 M$ os's work is this right no but at least they fix it so i give M$ some credit
4th IMO what people should be VERY ANGY WITH IS 64 DRIVER SIGNATURES and the BS surrounding it
Since Vista doesn't work, now Microsoft can do what they do best, and sell you yet another version, ie: Windows 7, to fix what Vista should have been in the first place.
What sucks is that my high school is STILL using Vista....personally, I'd prefer they with to Mac, but AT LEAST Windows 7!! Even my elementary school has Windows 7!

Grats, the few things you have purchased had drivers, not everything that everyone purchased did. And some did at least work, but did not have full features. This video is over a year old too. Right now Vista is bad, but it's not that bad. It's usable and ok and I can't knock on it too much. I'm just biding my time til 7 however.

Forget Vista it was a Beta Version of WIndows 7 which blows it away. Faster Interface most of the bugs are ironed out lovely way you can pin your programs to the super bar or even the start button. It doesn't hog memory like vista or resources. You can open up multiple windows and choose which one you want quite easily. Just get 7

Here is a couple of rants about Vista. I hate it when I insert a USB key It always goes 'Detecting new hardware' and spends ages thrashing the hard drive, before it mounts that USB key. Often taking over a minute to go through these actions.
Linux and OS X just mount that USB key within a matter of seconds.
And the other problem seems to be 'Calculating time to delete files'... WTF is that all about? Just bloody delete the files. It should only take a few seconds.
mukatuna 2 years ago 4
I hear you bro. And don't you love when you're trying to be a good boy and 'safely removing' a usb device, only to have Vista state: 'this device can't be stopped right now blah blah blah.'?

Oh frequently had that as well. Even had OS X do that trick on occasions, although not nearly as often as Windows. 'File is in use, disk can not be unmounted' or some such message, yet there is nothing obviously open.

I understand how you feel about Windows Chris, but I wouldn't feel sympathy for Microsoft. They have burned consumers more than once and not just on the OS side. What about the Xbox 360 and the RROD? There is also a lawsuit pending for that issue as well. They knowingly ship faulty products hoping that the latter of the community won't use enough of the advanced features of their products to notice these problems. I feel that this is the only language that they understand and will take seriously

Why help them?! We, the public, have been raped by MS. They release BETA and we test it, then we thank MS for granting us updates?! The ONLY reason I need to buy MS products is so I can play my "Windows Games". As soon as a platform is developed by another company that supports popular games I will buy it exclusively. I can't believe the Linux community hasn't grabbed this opportunity by the balls. I guess the average Linux user isn't into gaming.

remard66 2 years ago
bla, bla, bla... The real problem with Vista is that MS is way too open with regard to release timelines, etc. Apple on the other hand keeps everything a secret. I don't blame MS totally, after all they released the beta, then the RCs, then the RTM over the course of a few years. If the hardware manufactures dropped the ball, what is MS to do? When MS put off the release date, they got flack over it - they're damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Haven't had any problem with finding software, and all of the software I find holds a really high standard!
I tried to build a win pc (on a pick-your-own-parts site) with the same hardware specs as the imac on numerus occasions, that includes a SUPERB 24" screen but i always end up around the same price. (if not more expensive if I add all the software you need to do all you can do with a mac out of the box)
4GB of ram and 4GB of ram ain't always the same thing if you catch my drift.

XP = approximately 30 processes out of the box.
Vista = approximately 50 processes out of the box.
More threads eat up the CPU and don't leave you much processing power for your applications like games.
thus forcing the public to upgrade hardware in a time when they are in war debt and government slavery.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH VISTA!!
it is designed for newer computer so no sht it old programs might not work for it at first till these programs would updated themselves.
its like saying that the latest games are not as good as the old ones because your computer wont run them.
It is much more user friendly by protecting noobs from themselves and all these functions can be turned off.
the fact that you dont knw how to use it does not mean its no good.
Crazylalalalala 2 years ago
Theres lots wrong with Vista.
I shouldn't have to upgrade an XP system just to get Vista. Microsoft's mission , to make you buy more hardWare upgrades.
F***, Bill, Microsoft Windows and Activation!!!
Linux has such locked down security compared to Windows, this is just awesome. Hardly takes any system resources. You need Wine to run WindowsCrap.
CrewRite 2 years ago
no you shouldn't, Vista is designed for newer computers while your computer was designed to run XP.
the fact that you cant play the latest game it does not mean that the game sucks.
and yes Linux is better in many aspects but you cant use many programs on it. So if you want to have an OS that has little systems resource sure use Linux your system would realy if ever be run on it maximum capability.
if all u are going to do is use Open office and search the web any winnows can to that fine
Crazylalalalala 2 years ago
An Operating System is an Operating System, it should run on older and newer systems too.
You don't sound like an expert, because I've been able to run quite a few Windows Programs. The only time where I wasn't able to run something is if its a Program like a Windows-Based Anti-Infection. Either than that I can live without Windows.
Stupid Microsoft, Stupid Activation, Stupid Rep's.
Plus the fact that iMac gives you 5-licenses for 5-iMacs. Microsoft only gives you 1-license for 1 -Computer
CrewRite 2 years ago
no it does not have too.
Vista was designed knwing that newer computer are much more capable so they put alot of extra features to make it look good as well as safety features and others.
y would the average person need more than one license? all computer come with on or more.
the only time one would need more than one license is if they have build their machine. If you did that and Vista didnt ran well its because you didnt build it right to run vista.

im sorry are you fucking insane!!!!!!!
vista sucks fucking donkey dick i bought vista ultimate AND put it on a brand spanking new machine with 3 gbs of ram and a dual core with 256 mb graphics card. it still sucked fucking ass. i have used windows 95,98,me,2000,xp vista and am now on the release candidate of windows 7, and i must say vista is too bloated even with sp1, and it does not know how to utilize the full potentail of your graphics card. and constant use causes vista to sometimes fail.:(

i dont knw what your situation is but everyone that i knw likes it and i liked it too when i tried it. I still run xp cause i dont want to waste my money buying a new OS when mine is just fine.
y did you buy it? didnt ur computer come with an OS?
im not familiar with the GPU situation u r talking about but i knw Vista has a new better way to utilize ur ram.
Crazylalalalala 2 years ago
the pc came with home premium and i thought in upgrading it. and just because you didnt come across a problem dosnt mean that its fine. vista is one of the worst operating systems ever built. needing 2gbs of ram to make it run smooth is insane. and dont insult my intelligence by saying it utilizes ram better. Please.!!!!! Ive worked in I.T. for 9 years and its the most bloated piece of shit i ever seen. but on the plus side it looks pretty. lol.
richmeister4eva 2 years ago
given that most computers that would come with such an operating system would have more then 2 gigs its really no problem
and vista does infact have a better way of utilizing ur ram. It learns your habbits and pre loads data to the ram so that it wont need to do it later allowing for your applications to launch faster. it can also use any USB storage devices as ram.
yes it looks prety that is because windows wanted to be more competitive with the macs and linux which looked better the xp.
Crazylalalalala 2 years ago
if you didnt like it the first time why did you piss away the money of an upgrade knwing well that windows editions are pretty much the same and their differences are minute.
sounds like you are having buyers remorse and not a real problem.

Didn't like the foul language, but,
I'd have to say 2000 and XP were the best releases.
Linux a bit of a learning curve and depending on the Linux you choose. You should be a bit of a geek, if you want to use Linux.

He is slowly realizing the reality of a monopolist corporation.
A monopolist corporation doesn't care about giving you a good product, its only care is about the way to get the most money out of you, event if that means releasing a bad product.
But that is not minding Open Source. Open source is the only way to fight monopolist companies, by giving the users reliable and free alternatives.
It took Microsoft to release its worst product ever for the users to realize it. It's time to act.

3rd most of the computability have been solved after sp1 M$ os's work is this right no but at least they fix it so i give M$ some credit
