Also I'm willing to address a serious mistake Microsoft made with it's 'superior' security in Vista. Because all that security is reduced to millions of regular confirmation screens "Do you really want to do this or that?". Do you really think this should stop user from doing particular operation? It's a fact that it gets very annoying and useless (not to mention the fact that these confirmation prompts can be disabled).
I never heard Microsoft or any OS claim complete 'superiority' of their security. All OS's will always have a vulnerability to worry about if they're connected to the internet.
And UAC is only really annoying the first few days as you're settling into Windows, installing new programs and stuff. It's not like it asks to confirm everything. :)
I'm thinking most people can read, and it doesn't take more than a quick glance to see if I should confirm something I'm certain about.

I have on mine PC Vista HP x64-and only problem I have is some software in x86 architecture. On my 2nd PC I have XP, and everytime, when I work on old PC I can't stand XP. Maybe Vista need much more memory and is not compatibile with some software, but it's much better version of Windows XP... Why? Advanced search button, new(better) versions of software(try save image in MS Paint in XP and Vista as JPG), UAC and many more.
And stop talking about Vista only bad opinions, if you never used it.
im using Vista on my pc right now... agree, IE sucks... Vista is full of bugs and many features is not working corect... maybe after some months, maybe years, they will release some service pack for vista :) ... for now Vista is unusable OS ...
I use Vista on my notebook everyday, and I think VISTA is the best OS ever. I did not experience any bugs...I have pre-installed OS, so it works better than self-installed. It is fully compatible with, safer and more pretty than previous version. It is safe like Linux, designed like MacOSX, and compatible like Windows...
I don't why everyone hates Vista so much. It's really fast and everything is easy to find. Go on, play with your little macs, I don't care. Then again, seeing how I have no friends on this site, do you care?
Lol all you mac fan boys make me laugh, you hate M$ with such a passion but yet I bet that secretly at home you boot up xp or vista to play games among other things.
No one cares about your childish comments.... go home your mummy is calling for you

I could take that same happy family and make this an ad for Viagra or Pennzoil or Crest or Doritos, or Cox Cable. Anyone who believes this ad for Vista is probably an AOL user.
FACT 1: 80% of all Mac users upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. 80% of all PC users downgraded from Vista to XP.
FACT 2: The market share of iPhone, a 4 month old device that uses Mac OS X is today almost twice the size of Windows Mobile devices. Note: Windows Mobile is a system 12 years on the market.
FACT 3: Is there twice more people using Leopard compared to Vista.
Ok, have you ever been in contact with a Mac for more than ten or five minutes?? By the way, check out all over the internet, PC World published the results of a test... Guess what was the fastest portable computer running Vista??
Yeah, sure thing... They couldn't have enough with Mac OS X (the best OS ever made) so they thought: why don't we give the choice to people to install a much crappier OS? And even more, why don't we give people the bonus of making it run faster than in any other computer?
Who posted these ads here? I'm sure Microsoft knew better than to post them on YouTube where people would post their honest opinions about Vista.
I bought a computer that came with vista and after a month I couldn't put up with it so I upgraded to Ubuntu Linux. Now I can do more, and everything is so much faster, not to mention the visual effects in Ubuntu are great.
Vista is just a terrible mistake. Sorry but it's true.
i wanna know what supercomputer they're running that demo on because no computer I've ever used has been that speedy with Vista...even my MacBoox Pro.
Are you kidding? It runs great on my MBP. I know some other Mac users and it's true. In fact, I read an article about how it even runs faster than OS X if you can believe that.
I heard Vista runs fine on any computer with decent specs. Stop making stuff up.
my new laptop came with Vista, it really ran faster (2GB of RAM xD)... but I only used to find the XP drivers and downgrade to it... but i didn't use it xD I use Ubuntu instead :P:P
It runs even faster than XP, with the same hardware :P :P :P
How about posting the real windows vista, and the issues that people REALLY HAVE WITH IT, not some perfect hollywood family with a perfect little dog, who I guess also owns a copy of windows vista....
Vista is slow - slower than XP, never mind OS X or Ubuntu, plus it crashes like 50% of the time if i try to run Photoshop 7. It won't run Acrobat Pro 7 at all for me. Forget about trying to run Aero and anything graphics-intensive without a graphics card that costs more than most computers. Get More Done? heh.
For the money you can buy Vista "Ultimate," you can buy like 5 copies of Leopard (I got mine for less than $100 @ Microcenter) which is exponentially more stable and usable than Vista.
i actually like vista, dont really understand what you people have against it. IF you have a not-complete-crap computer, vista runs fastr than XP and is easier to use, and is more secure and comes with better apps.
all benchmarking done by independent (ie not microsoft) proves otherwise, and sp1 rc1 doesn't seem to want to make it all to much better either, in fact the current xp will still be faster, and that isn't counting the supposed 10% speed boost it will get with sp3
Wow , huge ownage on this page!! Oh and with MS Office 07 I think its hiliarious when people struggle to find the File tool because they have no clue that the huge circle logo actually does something :P
It's quite sad how everyone comes here to rant about windows vista, shut the hell up, if you really don't like windows vista don't buy it, stop acting like kids and grow up
well that's the thing, people come here to rant because they 'did' buy it expecting it to be a good follow up OS. People did spend lots of money on it and they expect a good quality product.
I have to agree with you. Out of the 100.000000 people that use Vista, I think most of them are really disappointed with it. The new os should be free. MICROSOFT -> PLEASE GO UNIX OR BSD!
"if you really don't like windows vista don't buy it". You ofcourse never heard that almost all new laptops come with preinstalled Vista. I just cant buy new laptop without paying M$ tax.
Vista is pretty and all and they try to make it more user friendly, but it's really not worth the performance drop on the systems that ran XP perfectly fine. It demands so much more, for nothing really much to gain. Vista is just too buggy right now until they fix all the major problems. I'm not an apple fanboy...I'm just saying Vista isn't ready yet and XP SP3 is perfectly fine. Why change something that isn't broken?
get more done? funny stuff. i was fed up with the buggyness of vista (didn't like 4GB of ram without hacks) so i removed it today and am now living with XP64 and Debian64. Now those are good OS's. Not this steaming p.o.s named Vista
Here's an idea, lets create a company that markets substandard computer programs that don't live up to their hype, bloat my hard drive, steal data from me, cause endless hours of pain and suffering, cause me to change the would like to work, and steal features and designs from others, only not as well executed. oh wait... that company already exists.
In order to operate and provide the service, we collect certain information about you...
Certain information, like what? And how do you collect that? Unless this is clearly specified and I have an option to opt-out, MS Live is just a glorified piece of spyware, so no thanks. Until then, Picassa here I come.
vista is crap.. I love OSX and XP but I played around with Vista its horrible. Not innovative at all. Microsoft should learn a thing or two about Usability!
Let's See pay 130 dollars for a service pack or get them for free. I dont mind buying ultimate for 320 dollars if it means i dont have to pay for every service pack that comes out along with it.
Why do people keep comparing leopard to service Packs? It had significantly more then XP service pack 2 had. Not to mention, that OSX has free updates all the time. This is a baseless comparison.
if it was such a significant update in my opinion it should have been version 11 for 10.1 12 for 10.2 ect. That isnt the case and most will think of it as an update, service pack whatever.
People. Chill out, I think the reason a lot of you people hate Windows Vista is just because tons of other people hate it. I'm not a Vista Fan Boy (I don't even use Vista, I'm sticking to XP for a while).
I like all the stupid people posting comments about Vista just because either A.) they're too stupid to know how to use an operating system or B.) they don't realize Vista needs higher specs to run it. It's for higher end systems, you're asking for tech. support if you only install a gig of memory and a shitty onboard graphics card. Newbs.
Its called, Expose, dashboard, spotlight, and then IE.... oh, ie. I am a total web browser freak, (only 4 mac) and i have at total of 15 alternetives. camino, firefox, iCab, Flock, iPhony, Lightbrowser, Minibrowser,Opera,Safari, Shiira, Sunrise, Tominated browser, Maxthon, and the original Mozilla suite. (if i missed somthing, please tell me, as i said i am a total browser nerd) But instead of complaining/ ranting on how TERIBLE windows is, i have a soloution for everyone: Get a mac.
Dude. I understand that EVERY brower is not perfect. I know that icab, and safari suck. some are "specilty" and i only use them cuz i am a nerd. :D but if i where to make a cart of the worst browsers, i would have to include negitive numbers for IE......
Vista, does take more resources, but most PC's made during that time had low expectations at that time.
These days, you can buy the same specs at pretty much the same price as back then. And I have a 4 year old Sony Vaio that runs Vista fine. It depends on what hardware you buy. I bought something reliable, did you?
hey is this a video of OS X tiger? ohh i see its a rip off see the stickies app and the whole AQUA gui and widgets threw me off SORRY and the crude spin on spotlight
MS has a lot to learn from Google and Apple... the way I compare MS with Apple/Google is Dictatorship and Democracy... where obviously MS is more Dictatorship (just telling what their employees must do, all money focused and less customer focused). One simple thing I would ask MS is provide a feature in their OS that reports what functionalities are used most... I can bet that it will be a small percentage. This will truly represent why one would want to upgrade OS at all.
Ok, nice try, but every company has it's issues here.
Google - likes to tap into privacy for the 'sake of ads'. It's true, why don't you 'Google' it.
Apple likes to lock down it's users. Why else would OS X work on Macs only? iPhone still has issues with 3rd party apps. I work in software, and it's kind of strict to comply with Apple's standards.

What had all those thousands of high-paid PhDs been doing all those years?

Fix Vista already MS!!
Or better yet, make XP look sexier- now that would be a fix.

well that's the thing, people come here to rant because they 'did' buy it expecting it to be a good follow up OS. People did spend lots of money on it and they expect a good quality product.

I have to agree with you. Out of the 100.000000 people that use Vista, I think most of them are really disappointed with it. The new os should be free. MICROSOFT -> PLEASE GO UNIX OR BSD!

DavieWestmacott 4 years ago
Vista is pretty and all and they try to make it more user friendly, but it's really not worth the performance drop on the systems that ran XP perfectly fine. It demands so much more, for nothing really much to gain. Vista is just too buggy right now until they fix all the major problems. I'm not an apple fanboy...I'm just saying Vista isn't ready yet and XP SP3 is perfectly fine. Why change something that isn't broken?
lilaznpanda 4 years ago
get more done? funny stuff. i was fed up with the buggyness of vista (didn't like 4GB of ram without hacks) so i removed it today and am now living with XP64 and Debian64. Now those are good OS's. Not this steaming p.o.s named Vista

Why do people keep comparing leopard to service Packs? It had significantly more then XP service pack 2 had. Not to mention, that OSX has free updates all the time. This is a baseless comparison.

if it was such a significant update in my opinion it should have been version 11 for 10.1 12 for 10.2 ect. That isnt the case and most will think of it as an update, service pack whatever.

I like all the stupid people posting comments about Vista just because either A.) they're too stupid to know how to use an operating system or B.) they don't realize Vista needs higher specs to run it. It's for higher end systems, you're asking for tech. support if you only install a gig of memory and a shitty onboard graphics card. Newbs.

this video said "get it done faster with vista"
is this a joke?
XP SP3 is 3X faster then vista,
you REALLY know your new OS is good when you still have to realese major updates for the old os because everyone likes it better.

if you have a dual core chip you will notice huge increase in speeds cause they didn't have that code their unlike vista.

Microsoft are talking about those features as if they are "new". maybe new for Windows users, Macs have had these for a long time.

Mac OS 10.4 owned vista, now look at leopard, no contest.
We will been on aprox. Mac OS 10.9 or later, by the time "Windows 7" comes out.
I wonder what OS will still be innovating not imitating?
any guesses?

Its called, Expose, dashboard, spotlight, and then IE.... oh, ie. I am a total web browser freak, (only 4 mac) and i have at total of 15 alternetives. camino, firefox, iCab, Flock, iPhony, Lightbrowser, Minibrowser,Opera,Safari, Shiira, Sunrise, Tominated browser, Maxthon, and the original Mozilla suite. (if i missed somthing, please tell me, as i said i am a total browser nerd) But instead of complaining/ ranting on how TERIBLE windows is, i have a soloution for everyone: Get a mac.
nikonluva959 4 years ago
Ok, now while IE7 may not be perfect, neither are these other so-called browsers.
Firefox - memory leaks, issues with embedded Google code, etc.
Safari - it's crap on Windows, and even OS X users (myself) don't even use it.
iCab - non-CSS compliant
iPhony - first it's MOBILE, and only works for Palm
Maxthon - takes up a ton of screen real estate
Like I said, all these browser have their own flaws, and IE7 isn't that bad. There's ton of add-ons if you don't like the defaults.
quikboy2 4 years ago
Dude. I understand that EVERY brower is not perfect. I know that icab, and safari suck. some are "specilty" and i only use them cuz i am a nerd. :D but if i where to make a cart of the worst browsers, i would have to include negitive numbers for IE......

tpiom 4 years ago
If you have that many problems, you must be tech illiterate yourself.
Ok, BSOD's are hardware related. There may be bugs for some people, but it's mostly fixed by the update by now.
Incompatibility - just put run in XP compatibility mode. Vista's a whole NEW OS, so it's not surprising about this small issue.
If it's slow, you got a crap computer. Sorry, but a computer with good specs, has Vista running fine on it. Nice try, but you're wrong.
hornyrhino2 4 years ago
"Vista's a whole NEW OS" does that mean I should get a whole new computer to run it on ?
XP works just blazingly fast on what i have now. Why should I spend loads of cash on an upgrade just so I can run Vista ?
As an end user I don't care what's under the hood.
I just want something that works well (fast and reliable) on my hardware. Vista does not do that.
snigel4321 4 years ago
Vista, does take more resources, but most PC's made during that time had low expectations at that time.
These days, you can buy the same specs at pretty much the same price as back then. And I have a 4 year old Sony Vaio that runs Vista fine. It depends on what hardware you buy. I bought something reliable, did you?
hornyrhino2 4 years ago 2
Nah, I did update frequently and I've a AMD athlon 3800+ (2.4 ghz), 2GB Ram and Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT.
If you are asking for more.. then this OS will never be on the market.

MS has a lot to learn from Google and Apple... the way I compare MS with Apple/Google is Dictatorship and Democracy... where obviously MS is more Dictatorship (just telling what their employees must do, all money focused and less customer focused). One simple thing I would ask MS is provide a feature in their OS that reports what functionalities are used most... I can bet that it will be a small percentage. This will truly represent why one would want to upgrade OS at all.
clrvynt 4 years ago
Ok, nice try, but every company has it's issues here.
Google - likes to tap into privacy for the 'sake of ads'. It's true, why don't you 'Google' it.
Apple likes to lock down it's users. Why else would OS X work on Macs only? iPhone still has issues with 3rd party apps. I work in software, and it's kind of strict to comply with Apple's standards.
No company is by all means perfect.
