| 508534 | 2006-12-22 06:32:00 | Well put there about Linux / Windows Im having problems just getting my damn Ti4200 working in Vista (Open to help), forget about my TV Tuner Card from DSE, or my SB!Live soundcard... The popups drive you crazy and I found myself monotonously clicking "Yes" every single time until I realized they could be turned off, defeating the entire purpose of having them there in the first place! The Volume Control is about the only cool thing about Vista that Ive found so far :( Chill you havnt heard I take it then, this should stop the my os is the best argument (rjdohnert.wordpress.com) :lol: |

The Volume Control is about the only cool thing about Vista that Ive found so far :( I am sure Microsoft will get it right in the end. It might just take a bit longer for the OS developments from MS R&D south to filter through. It is probably just a matter of being patient and to let them get a few service pack updates out the door before anyone actually seriously considers buying a copy in say, late 2007-2008. I guess if Windows XP is sufficient for most peoples needs then stick with what works (most of the time). |

It's funny how Windows users always seem to say "Maybe with future releases it will get better", I thought Vista was supposed to be the answer to, er, *everything* - well that's how it's marketed. |

Don't forget that as I mentioned in an earlier post on this topic that many of the features that were originally promised but dropped by Microsoft such as improved (read "instant") filesearch (meaning they were going to develop a new method) and improved security (with out all the frustrating pop ups), and greater stability as well as a more user friendly GUI have actually been in use by the general public for the last year or so (for instant file search and the last 5 years for greater security) and are continuing to be developed in gradual steps. The general public who have been using these features also have access to a large range of standard 3rd party apps. |

| 508542 | 2006-12-24 02:21:00 | Wow... I actually didn't think there'd be anyone willing to run Vista. I do actually remember saying this about WinXP a few years ago. I guess windows gets more and more ludicrous with every release. Ahhh the dummy PC user that only uses the computer for surfing and emails.... they are the easiest to switch to linux (as long as they have broadband). Show me someone that doesn't use any specialised software (MS Money for instance) and has broadband and I could switch em to linux in no time! I can even get a few windows games working for them easily. People think linux is hard, its only hard if you like to play around. A dummy user would be fine with linux! SO ANYWAY, who would agree with me when I say Vista is just like a flashy version of XP? You would probably be better off running XP with a Vista theme and running 3D looking glass which is basically what this version of windows is ripping off. Hell, project looking glass is available on linux, couple that with XGL and Compiz and you may need a vista capable machine to run all that ROFL! www.google.co.nz www.google.co.nz |
