Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / October 2008vista couldnt have it worse!!!!
1) First of all its expensive, in some countries vista ulitmate costs 700 us dollars! 2) it needs a new fast computer for it to run well enough to use 3) you often need to throw away perfectly functioning peripherals because stupid vista cant use the XP drivers and then you have to buy new ones 4) you often need to throw away perfectly functioning software because vista-crapista is no longer compatible with them. 5) you lost valuable time and energy just to get stupid vista to work 6) it then takes up more energy for it to function thrashing the disks all the time, needing 3d accelerated graphic cards for aero that gobble up the watts and making the cpus work harder (yes the more the cpu works the more energy it uses). The PSU (power supply units) have jumped from 250-350 watts to 500 watts or more for a stupid computer than can run vista. 7) Having all that crap in an era where people are out of jobs, the economy is in a crisis and credit is harder to get.... having all that vista-energy waste when global warming threatens to destroy civilization is a crime to humanity. Vista is a dinosaur product. It should be canceled and buried and forgotten. Its also incredibly stupid design and made and loved by retarded monkeys ONLY! > 1) First of all its expensive, in some countries vista ulitmate costs 700 us > dollars!

Since stupid people complain about something like Vista, instead of oil speculators, market speculators, not asking how much a war is going to cost before engaging in it, inflating currency, watching TV instead discussing politics, economics, and religion. It's more your fault than Vista's. > Vista is a dinosaur product. It should be canceled and buried and forgotten. Its > also incredibly stupid design and made and loved by retarded monkeys ONLY!

I bought it for $40 and it's the worst software I ever used. The scanner works but the photo editing software is almost useless. We would have to burn the scanned pics to RW-CDs and download them to the old XP machine to use AdobePhotoDeluxe. We moved the scanner back to the back office and kissed the $40 goodbye - thanks to Vista.

Speaking for myself this OS is a scam. My perfectly good scanner wont work with Vista and Epson has no drivers so it can. My photo printing and photo editing software wont work with Vista either. No fix for them either. Vista is as unstable as W98. Lockups and freezes are common and sometimes on Forums the cursor disappears. So far two friends have bought new PCs from Dell who will add XP if you want it instead of the bloated aggravating Vista OS. All the secutiry crap is driving me crazy and I can't find anywhere to turn it off. I'm so sorry I didn't listen to my neighbor and call Dell for a new PC with XP installed. > No one I know is happy with Vista.

Why do people like you assume everyone is experienced computer users? I have no interest in Apple PCs. You are so dumb that you now qualify for stooge number 4!

That's most likely because they work for MS in some capacity or they assume everyone is as computer literate as they are. They can't imagine that anyone is new to PCs as they once were. After all, they didn't exit their mother's body with a PC in their hands. > Vista is crap and he is right, go outside .. (you know what outside is > don't you?

Hey moron, I think vista should have a WARNING ribbon on it when it comes as retail or preinstalled on new computers saying: WARNING- DANGER: THIS CRAP PRODUCT MAY BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE YOU OWN! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! >>> 1) First of all its expensive, in some countries vista ulitmate costs >>> 700 us dollars!

The warning should at least state that "This operating system my necessitate you purchase all new peripherals." It really pisses me off that I have to purchase a new scanner and printer to use with this PC because there are no fixes/drivers for the Epson 1200u scanner, AdobePhotoDeluxe software or for the photo printing feature of my my HP printer. All these things worked perfectly on the old XP machine. And some people here think we shouldn't mind having to pull out another few hundred bucks and just throw out or give away perfectly good printers and scanners. >>>> 1) First of all its expensive, in some countries vista ulitmate costs >>>> 700 us dollars!

Thus on your screen you will see 2 operating systems. You start the virtual machine application and install xp inside it exactly as if it was a real computer. you can install vmware server that is free to do this www.vmware.com After making the first settings for the virtual machine, then go and "add" a USB connection to it.

[quoted text clipped - 65 lines] >>>>> So why didn't you check first to see if your current hardware/software >>>>> was compatible with Vista? 1) First of all its expensive, in some countries vista ulitmate costs 700 us dollars! 2) it needs a new fast computer for it to run well enough to use . . . Hmmmm. . . You don't need a new "fast" computer, you need a new computer, even bottom line. Vista, to run smoothly, needs 1GB of RAM, every computer now-a-days, new, has that standard. 3) you often need to throw away perfectly functioning peripherals because stupid vista cant use the XP drivers and then you have to buy new ones That would be because of the hardware manufacturers, not Windows Vista. Microsoft has many universal drivers that will work with most hardware, although they may not be made by the manfacturer. 4) you often need to throw away perfectly functioning software because vista-crapista is no longer compatible with them. See, I think you're using the wrong version on this issue. for your software to work, you need to make sure you have Windows Vista SP1 installed, and that should work with all MODERN software. 5) you lost valuable time and energy just to get stupid vista to work If you managed to get XP to work, I'm pretty sure Vista is no harder in my experience. 6) it then takes up more energy for it to function thrashing the disks all the time, needing 3d accelerated graphic cards for aero that gobble up the watts and making the cpus work harder (yes the more the cpu works the more energy it uses). The PSU (power supply units) have jumped from 250-350 watts to 500 watts or more for a stupid computer than can run vista. So turn 3d accelerated graphics off. Then you'll have the same type of desktop as XP and you'll save energy. Microsoft has more services added to Vista, so all the new tools and gadgets work. To get rid of these extra CPU spikes, you need to disable all the services that you don't need and fix the startup items. Also, power management needs to be configured. 7) Having all that crap in an era where people are out of jobs, the economy is in a crisis and credit is harder to get.... having all that vista-energy waste when global warming threatens to destroy civilization is a crime to humanity. Computers have always costed the same, if anything, dropped in price over the years. Without computers, you wouldn't know squat about global warming, which has to evident proof of existence. Vista is a dinosaur product. It should be canceled and buried and forgotten. Its also incredibly stupid design and made and loved by retarded monkeys ONLY! It doesn't have a stupid design, it's design is cutting edge. It's sleeker, more user friendly and safe than XP. Signaturewind0ws_g33k > It doesn't have a stupid design, it's design is cutting edge. It's > sleeker, more user friendly and safe than XP. Nice little icons and transparent windows does not substitute good design. Toolbars that cannot be configured, bread crumbs that are non intuitive for the layman, recycle bins that can me deleted, windows that forget the size of their columns and general settings, a search that cant search zit, personal options with choices instead of tabs leading you to more and more widows making everything non centralized, bad way to control the system restore points, totally destroyed interface (or lack of) defragmenter, UAC that is so annoying that people end up either turning it off or pressing OK each time without reading the message, the turn off button that is just an arrow with an idiotic pop up menu (for crying out loud!), Hidden menu toolbars, the inability to add a delete button and up button right on the toolbar, the FOLDER PANE of Windows explorer that moves right and left on its own with no horizontal scroll bar (this is zuper duper stupid), only ONE theme, fonts and colors that look horrible on older CRT monitors straining the eyes and confusing people, complex network center with options here and there that a newbie will feel lost in... should I go on?????
