Windows Vista

Just say no. I bought a new desktop with Vista on it and I hate it. Everything I try to do it stops me and asks me for permissions. I can't get into a chat room. The photo download programs are terrible. Arrgh. If you are debating on Vista I say to stay away till they sort this POS out.

Last week you loved it and told me to get it!!

What next, are you going to warn us about Velcro shoes?

I loved how you can buy a cable and program that transfers all your old files etc from your old computer to the new one with one click... It has been downhill since.
Shouldn't you be writing a book or something ? Get back to work.

I've heard nothing but bad things about it. Wait a year or two until the service pack comes out.

I bought a new computer last week with Vista on it and I'd say stay away from it as well. It is just like any new software, it will have problems for awhile. It isn't that easy to navigate around and I can't find my files half the time. It also shuts down and reboots at will, that is frustrating when it happens in the middle of an email. It shuts down after a Microsoft update, which I don't even know is happening.

Thumbs down for now.

I have that problem with the latest upgrades to XP.

The IT guy here at work told me it would be at least two years before we upgrade to Vista. (Lots of compatibility issues.) Our Corporate IT wizards have absolutely nothing good to say about it.

It's hard to top the original.
