Originally by: Leon Caedo I honestly don't understand why people feel 'cool' by bashing vista. No, you don't get to join the cool kids club just by bashing vista.
I got vista after SP1, and I've never had any problems with it at all.
<snipped>
If you have a computer that can run Vista smoothly, and your hardware has proper drivers (which is rarer than you'd think), then Vista isn't that bad. And of course it has more refined features than XP... new versions always do.
What ticks most people of is that they re-arranged a lot of the UI (people hate changes... even good changes), and the added security features, which add a few hoops for people to jump through. Although, as has been mentioned earlier, a lot of the problems relating the the UAC was not really M$s fault, but rather incompetent programmers creating annoying applications. (Triggering useless security prompts)
And, of course, being Micro$oft, they released it way to early, before they had a chance to refine it and streamline some of the performance issues... so early versions were just horrible in that respect. (SP1 helped a lot tho) Not to mention the defective (and ultimately pointless) genuine validation thing... they never learn, do they
I like to think of the entire Vista thing as a Windows 7 public alpha program... after all, Windows 7 is what Vista should have been.

This joke is older than you are. But by my calculations that's not hard to achieve.
lol, that made me laugh. I love the posts that begin with "hi cat here".

Edited by: Threv Echandari on 27/04/2009 17:00:35 Edited by: Threv Echandari on 27/04/2009 16:59:50 I have the r7000 build and Eve runs OK as good as my XP build though there may be one or 2 hiccups. (e6600 4GB ram, Zotac 8800GTS) I have not loaded it down with all the stuff that I did my XP Machine. But that is by design. I had too much crap on my XP box and it was developing issues. (after several years of abuse). However Eve runs well with In-space FPW consistently above 126. However I have had some strange Stuttering effects that I'm not sure waht to make of. (avg FPSon the XP machin was 85 FPS and I was running the Cache file from a RAM Drive). I have yet to to do the RAM Drive Trick on Windows 7.
as on OS even the Beta is superior to Vista. But that is expected. Waht most people realized that Vista is actully a subset of WIN 7 (as WIN 7 tech has been well underway). Pressure to release the Next Gen prompted MS to release a "Vista" version. (There are many difference that are under the hood and not noticable by the user).
Though UAC was one thing they went over board with and Thankfully streamlined it in win7. (How come no one complains bitterly when Linux asks you to login as an admin to do some thing that requires Admin rights eve if you are logged in as root?? oh right Market share...lol)
Anyways Vista is like Windows ME or NT.. It will be quickly forgotten and buried when 7 goes live.

Yay for you, here's a cookie, but you're experience is not the norm. My system always has some of the best hardware and I always use the latest drivers and still see crashes with every configuration I've used. I've had Vista not even recognize a hard drive, ever and I'm still seeing crashes today with some games. City of Heroes won't go 2 or 3 hours without at least one crash, as does Crysis, Supreme Commander and even Eve sometimes, and there are more.
I have none of those issues under XP, using the same installations of the games or new ones, it doesn't matter.
Your experience /= everyone elses. Making those types of assumptions makes you hella cool, too.
what the crap just happened? |

That's not even comparable to the UAC prompt spam that Vista users suffered. Not to mention that most Unix/Linux admins will probably appreciate the added security.
Unix systems have had proper user control for decades, and most Unix/Linux/OSX distributions have streamlined the GUI (and the CLI) extremely well. Now that Microsoft has finally decided to add a proper user system to Windows, they've got some catching up to do. (W7 being a big step in the right direction.)
And, by the way, if you are logged into a X session as root, your doing it wrong.

I've been running 3 box clients on a 2.4GHz laptop with Win7 Beta since it was released. I've had no problems with the OS - and I actually like it better than XP. I can't wait until the RC comes out on May 5th. I'll be purchasing a copy of Win7, pending some fluke found in the RC, along with a new Core i7 desktop.
Would highly recommend Win7 RC to people who still want to stick with XP.
