Well My experiance with vista showed it to have more problems than i worth the visual additions.Another addition to my hatred for Vista is the crappy voice recognition.I did EVERYTHING it says to do to improve its acc and it isnt worth crud.Anyways last but not least is the restricted account.You cant do CRAP without having to either disable the security thing and then disable the restriction on the administrator account.Then you have to edit its password and last but not least that account isnt even fully unrestricted you still have to escalate the privladges to be able to stuff you would be able to do in windows XP or linux.......

I also think it is the biggest technical flop in the computer history....I mean come on first of all the BSOD has came in full swing into vista to show up more often.....Second the computer seems alot slower because vistas effects take alot more cpu thant windows xp.
And third the security thing CANT be shut down on some versions of vista since it doesnt have the security section in the admin controls sectiona nd without that being off you CANNOT edit the registry or anything......

I really don't what's the advantage of vista except it's more colorful than xp.But vista makes your computer much much more slower than before.I like windows 2000 best.Actually what we do with the PC is almost the same as 10 years before,surf the net,watch movies,listen to music,type letters and so on.But a 10 year old computer can not be used any more now. Why? It's all beacuse of new edition of windows takes up all the resources of computer.We change our computer only for using windows!

Vista is the worte technical flop out of all time.LOL I can see how come everyone hates it because microsoft probably spent more time on making it look uber than actually fixing the bugs and security problems lol.

I totally agree. I recently bought a new laptop that has Windows Vista on it. I have to say other than the visual additions, I was not impressed. I am so tempted to install XP on my system instead. It is driving me crazy for some of the things it doesn't do. Not to mention I find it really hard to find files. It is not at all user friendly. They weren't kidding in those MAC commercials. You really do want to downgrade to XP.

When the windows vista news broke out, i always thought that it is still not developed and is in beta stage, so i didn't trust the software yet. Exactly like what happened in windows XP... they put it in the market full of bugs and undeveloped versions, but eventually they come out with a full, marketable version.
Vista is good, but i'll just wait until they publish a version that no one will have a problem at.

Yeah thats my opinion aswell.I think some of the security enhancements help out but they are also huge restrictions when you want to get things done quick.Because everytime its the same steps over and over ;(.Anyways vista will sooner of later be a new win xp but i dont see any hope for it in the near future ;)

I don't mind it so much but yes it's a pain when you need to edit a file and all of a sudden 'you need permission to do that!!!111 ... and I'm the administrator... Aside from the annoying security adviser the only problem I've ever actually had is I had to re-install vista because something was sending explorer.exe into an infinity loop. Re-installing is way more of a hassle than it should have to be, I'll just leave it at that. I wouldn't say I love it or hate it, I just tolerate it because I've heard horror stories about trying to put XP onto a machine that's had Vista on it, even after a complete reformatting of the drive.
