Well, I think this is why many people have issues with Windows, and one reason that Mac's don't have that much problems.

No, Everyones wrong. How can you complain about Vista?
I mean, its just means you have a bad computer, and get a new one!

Top 5 Reasons I see that people dislike Vista:

1. You need a new computer built within the two years to run it properly (within the last year for laptops).
2. Most PCs come with Home Premium, which, tbh, is like a kick in the face. When you're paying $1000 for a PC (Or more) you want Ultimate.
3. UAC is f***ing annoying.
4. Programs may require tweaking to work with Vista, which people believe is too much of a hassle.
5. XP runs lighter, faster, and as of SP3, almost as secure as Vista, and it's cheap, and familiar.



Now, I'm not saying people are right but I agree with those reasons, which is why I RARELY use Vista.

Well, I'm sure Windows 98 is faster than XP, so why not use Window 98 or 2000?

As for ultimate, I think they need to lower the price of it.

And, this laptop is 3 years old, came out a year before Vista, and has a Windows Vista Capable logo on it, and runs it better than some new laptops.

I also never needed to tweak any apps for vista, and I got a Windows 3.11 screensaver, Johnny Castaway.

98 would run faster than XP, as would 95, or 3.11.... The issue is; What hardware is supported by those old operating systems? All the Vista supported hardware is still working in XP. Until they have something that I really NEED to have, that XP doesn't support, I, and millions upon millions of others, have no reason to switch.

Well then Kyle, Disable UAC. And Vista Home Premium is actually very good for the money. Where i live it costs the same as XP Pro. And Home Premium has everything what I would need. No *New* (Notice the keyword *new*) Programs I use have trouble with Vista. As because all the old stuff is crap compared to new stuff.

I don't buy, so money isn't an issue. I've had Ultimate x86 and x64 running, and I see no reason to run them over XP, even with annoyances disables as much as possible.

Those reasons I posted are not my personal reasons, but the ones I've heard the most, either directly or indirectly.

Most issues in Vista re Hardwares and incompatible drivers, about softwares it runs fine in Vista, my old time fav Earth 2150: Lost Souls still working fine as good as I use in XP...Some softwares might not run in Vista but in my own use, I don't use old softwares much...

Vista SP1 looks like they fixed some probs in Vista before...about XP SP3 which I haven't tried yet, it's still not much as secure as Vista and it just almost reach the non-SP1 Vista security...
