Is Vista Bad? - GoFuckYourself.com

DeanCapture · 07-11-2008, 08:52 PM

I bought a new laptop today - came with Vista. I've heard nothing but bad stuff about Vista lately - but this doesn't seem to be so bad. It'll take a little getting used to but overall, it seems fine. Can I expect issues?

Nicky · 07-11-2008, 08:59 PM

Upgrade RAM

I also bought a new laptop today it came with Vista. I've heard nothing but bad stuff about Vista lately but this doesn't seem to be so bad. It'll take a little getting used to but overall, it seems fine. Can I expect issues?

marketsmart · 07-11-2008, 09:02 PM

vista sucks.. i am running windows ME and its awesome...

Deej · 07-11-2008, 09:09 PM

i havent used it, GF has it and ive really only seen the different desktop...

What i have heard is... the issues lie in program compatibility... it dosnt always play well with programs...

other than that i do hear a lot of pleased people too...

preference i guess and what all you use your computer for...

mikesouth · 07-11-2008, 10:21 PM

for short term stuff it seems to run fine If I leave it running 24/7 it crashes....and I only use it on a media server.

It has a way to go before I would do anything mission critical with it....a LONG way to go

longbrick · 07-11-2008, 10:22 PM

Got a new laptop 2 days ago. Decided to give it a try because it turns out its a hassle reinstalling XP after Vista.

Spunky · 07-11-2008, 10:31 PM

It runs smooth for me although getting drivers for the older stuff is a pain

yahoo-xxx-girls.com · 07-11-2008, 11:02 PM

Since there are now proper drivers for vista you should not have much problems, but make sure you have 2-4 gigs of ram and ready boost pen drive being the max of 4 gb and you will have a good system. O and a dual core does help

NaughtyRob · 07-11-2008, 11:07 PM

I got a new laptop and made sure it DIDNT have Vista.

Rochard · 07-11-2008, 11:47 PM

Everyone gives way too much consideration to what o/s they are running. The truth is as long as it's stable I don't really care what my box is running.

I'm running Vista on my computer here and I'm doing fine with it.

foghead · 07-11-2008, 11:49 PM

Vista sucks fucking balls and is a nightmare trying to get your favorite programs to run.Stick with XP.

Steve Awesome · 07-11-2008, 11:54 PM

Never had a problem with Vista, although I did try upgrading to Service Pack 1 a couple days ago and the fucker corrupted one of the start up files. The upgrade desk fixed the problem for me after a couple automated rounds, but still... fuck.

CyberHustler · 07-11-2008, 11:55 PM

I got Vista... No problems and all my favorite programs run on it just fine.

Amber Kelly · 07-11-2008, 11:57 PM

I have had no problems with Vista, but I have had my friends who work or trouble shoot problems with computers say that when someone is using a computer with Vista can be complicating.

This topic is covered twice a week here on gfy. Do a search. Vista is good. Best consumer OS from MS so far by far.
For some reason people follow the hype to say its bad. It comes from ignorance. Cant think of anything else.

Then youre doing something wrong. I can leave it on for weeks without crashing. If i can do that then you are clearly doing something wrong.

Funny you say that again after me and others showed that 90% of all your points were invalid. You were talking made up bs that were simply lies. I cant understand how you dare to say its crap again after you were pointed out for being totally fucking wrong. You just made shit up trying to make it look bad...why? Did Vista molest you as a baby or what? It looks as if youre very fucking angry at it if you have to make up stuff to make it look bad. I find it very ignorant that after we pointed out on how many points you were wrong you simply ignore it and continue with this shit. Really fucking ignorant. Its as if because you know other people like me can run it without problems it pisses you off or something.

Funny, in 10 months or so i had maybe 1 program not run on it. What exactly are your favourite programs?

Dirty F · 07-12-2008, 12:47 AM

Sorry that was Krosh, not you Vrocks. Still you are ignorant if you say its shit.

Dirty F · 07-12-2008, 12:49 AM

Its so funny how a great OS gets bashed by all the sheep because they either read stuff from other sheep or they were too stupid to configure it after the first install. Now theyre pissed off and feel better by calling it shit.

Matt 26z · 07-12-2008, 12:55 AM

I bought my laptop at the end of XP, so I got the free upgrade CD... Still haven't installed it. All I read about is how Vista requires more system resources, and I'm perfectly happy with XP. So I'm not sure why I should upgrade.

Deej · 07-12-2008, 01:01 AM

You dont see me promoting Vista all over the place but i cant ignore this thread because of all the bs theres written in it.

Voodoo · 07-12-2008, 01:11 AM

Running Vista on 1 laptop and 1 PC. XP on 1 laptop and the other PC. I like Vista after getting used to it. XP seems "Clunky" now, if that makes sense?

Beanz · 07-12-2008, 01:49 AM

The only issue I have with vista is sometimes Adobe Bridge will crash if I have multiple apps running (usually just iTunes, PS, Illustrator and Dreamweaver). Other than that, it works like a champ for me.

Emil · 07-12-2008, 01:51 AM

I like Vista, it's nothing wrong with it and most applications work.
The only issue I've had was when I tried to run Visual Basic 6 projects. Now I have to do it from a Virtual XP installation.

raven1083 · 07-12-2008, 01:55 AM

Vista was just fine but I like microsoft more

Vista is dead already. Wait for Windows 7.

brandonstills · 07-12-2008, 02:55 AM

I got a laptop with Vista as well. I wiped it and installed XP. It was less power user friendly it seems. I couldn't use a lot of hot keys for windows explorer.

Scott McD · 07-12-2008, 03:00 AM

Been on Vista for a few months now, and had no real problems at all with it...

Ace_luffy · 07-12-2008, 07:50 AM

vista requirement memory is 1gb

i dunno why....

stickyfingerz · 07-12-2008, 08:11 AM

Ive had 0 issues with vista on any of my machines. End of story lol. Doesn't crash, doesn't have program compatibility issues, isn't a resource hog. People are sheep.

The whole "its cool to hate vista" thing.

Who else remembers the same shit when XP came out. "Ill stick with 98 fuck xp"

I'm a Mac user mostly, but have Vista installed in a few places. I've never had an issue. No crashing, No issues with old software or hardware. Nothing. We have an OEM install disc of Vista Ultimate with none of the bloatware the PC manufacturers install, so that helps I'm sure.
