| 698911 | 2008-08-22 01:59:00 | I think MS have only got themselves to blame for the Vista hate seattlepi.nwsource.com During the hearing two weeks ago, Jeffrey Tilden, another plaintiff attorney, quoted extensively from internal Microsoft e-mails that appeared to show that employees within Microsoft had misgivings about the "Windows Vista Capable" campaign. They should have made realistic minimum spec, & have vista not install on PC's that didnt meet that spec. I think they were hoping the masses would want to upgrade their OS on existing PC's. There are still laptops with 512m SHARED ram & slow 4200 HD's being sold with vista. The amount of bloatware preinstalled (& running in background) by HP Toshiba etc also makes these machines pretty sluggish. |

| 698913 | 2008-08-22 02:34:00 | I can 100% prove that Vista problems are related to cheap ****ty sub $1000 laptops. I have done my research with focus groups and testers.Then prove it to us. (I don't doubt you, but would really like to read the evidence). | Greg (193) | ||
| 698914 | 2008-08-22 04:26:00 | Ahah ! I see it all. When you are dead, Vista is the OS of choice? In that case, Vista = gold. :p |

| 698915 | 2008-08-22 04:54:00 | I can 100% prove that Vista problems are related to cheap ****ty sub $1000 laptops. I have done my research with focus groups and testers. Vista pre SP1 had some nasty issues . Ive collated a folder on these. Poor network (non domain) file transfer speeds, poor file copy speeds. Issues with USB storage devices be assigned drive letters that were also a mapped network drive letter. DHCP issues with some internet routers (even new ones). MMCSS issues. UAC issues. However, many Vista issues were from Software/hardware Companies not coming out with compatible software/drivers even though they had plenty of time to do so (in the Vista beta phase). |
