Righty Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 So far so good. The only problem I'm having is the user account control. Keeps asking me if I'm really sure that I'm sure that I'm positive that I'm sure I think I might want to be sure to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Righty Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I spent an hour today trying to validate someone else's Vista installation. Also tried to use my memory stick as extra memory, but it isn't fast enough. That's my fault though, I bought a cheap one. Luckily for me, I'll be installing another 512mb of memory.

Alistair Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Can anybody actually justify why I (or anyone else for that matter), as a happy XP user, should run out today and spend £160 whatever on Vista? As far as I can tell, ALL it offers is DX10 built-in, which is useless at the mo, and other than that a lot of side-effects that I don't want. Why don't they make an OS that approaches it completely differently - so take "ports" on the internet, being treated way differently so as to completely eliminate hackers, and no funny background-programs, nothing can run without you double-clicking it, nothing can wire itself into any startup thing, only what is read-only by the OS originally, if you know what I mean. I wish they'd think of that......but then again if they did, MCafee, Norton, and the rest would be out of business, so maybe they make the OS's unstable for a reason?

Pandora Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 What's wrong with double clicking? BTW, Vista's first Service Pack is going to have a beta release this month. It's going to solve some bugs and do something so shutting down and starting up won't take you your whole afternoon brake. Some other things too, but I forgot, and the source has been taken off-line.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Alistair - Thank you, full point. I remember hearing (around '90 or '91) viruses were invented by a couple of guys that wanted to make money fixing computers. If anyone has more on that, put it in the appropriate thread or start one for it. chris82 - Show everybody your card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Vista just fools people; it seems that you need a Cray supercomputer just to run this crappy OS... If it had more practical stuff than cosmetic knick-knacks and stolen technology... Does Niko Bellic advocate Vista? No way, Jose...

Pandora Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Uh, dude. Just swith of Aero and you can run it with a 3 GHz P4, and that isn't really super.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Uh, dude. Just swith of Aero and you can run it with a 3 GHz P4, and that isn't really super.. OK, but what if a total noob is using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yeah.. They don't realise how much that Aero interface consumes.. And you don't even need it, it's useless. IMO Vista looks great with everything switched off except that diffused glass stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
