Re: stupid vista
I know Vista-bashing seems to be pretty common, but I haven't had much experience with it. The only ones I've had was fixing my dad's Vista laptop (was his first computer, not a good starter OS) and using some owned by friends. Has the service pack improved it any?
I might throw it on my next computer just because eventually I'll need to upgrade to it and should probably learn what has changed, but at the same time I'm very comfortable and satisfied with XP. It does everything I want and I know how to get to everything I want without having to go through convoluted menus and settings.
Downgrade to XP.

I've been running Vista SP1 for a while now, works perfectly. You just can't run it on an old *** system and expect it to perform that well.

I'm looking forward to Windows 7. Hopefully they won't make the same mistakes as they did with Vista.
I think a majority of the problems stem from hardware incompatibility as well as user-error and being "lost" with such a different OS. All the preceding operating systems went through the same "phase" and ultimately ended up being "great" (with the exception of ME).
I know when XP came out, everyone was bitching, and I stuck with 98 for a year or two. Now everyone is bitching about Vista and sticking with XP. Probably in a few years when everyone has become comfortable with Vista, and Windows 7 comes out, they'll be bitching about Windows 7 and sticking to Vista.
XP is great though
