Why the rush? Vista sucks, need something people might want to buy.

Vista works fine, at least for me.

It’s about working out the bugs in the software. If they release it worldwide on one day, they will get hit with a gazillion complaints and make them look bad. By slow releasing it, they can get the kinks worked out before it goes out to everyone.

Vista works fine, at least for me. Same here. Of all the operating systems of Microsoft I've gone through, and I've been through them all now... Vista has NOT been a problem at all. Not once.

XP fine for me ... no Visduh ... no Visduh II

A big 10-4 on Vista, the most trouble free operating system I’ve ever used. Not one single problem, zero, zilch, nada, the best ever.

Windows 7 is running better in my VM than XP with the same resources allocated.

I agree with you two guys. I’ve been through all the Windows versions. Everything from playing video games, to downloading porn, watching FOX News, to using Photoshop and Dreamweaver at the same time— Vista has been the absolute best.

Is Vista really bad or good? I plan on buying a new computer within 2 weeks and I'm seriously debating whether to buy one with no-OS (I have a bootleg copy of XP Pro) or buy one with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
I've heard horror stories about Vista and then again I heard Vista was excellent for gaming and such.
To: donaldo
Vista, the most trouble free operating system Ive ever used. You are very lucky or Vista is your first operating system.

Works great for me as well. But then again I don’t follow the drive-by tech media, so I’ve haven’t received the memo that it supposedly sucks!
To: antiRepublicrat
Still on XP here. Gonna skip over Vista and go straight to Windows 7.

Have you seen that there will be SIX Win7 SKUs?
- Enterprise -- all features, for large companies
- Ultimate -- all features, for individuals
- Professional -- some features missing
- Home Premium -- more features missing
- Home Basic -- most features missing, no Aero, previous low-water mark for Vista
- Starter Edition -- nearly everything missing, can only launch 3 application MAX.
And the punchline is that Win7 is supposed to run on "netbooks", right? Well guess which SKU is targeted specifically at Netbooks?
You guessed it -- "Starter Edition". What a crock. "Cheap but useless."
By comparison, the one-and-only SKU, full-featured version of OS-X sells for $129, or $199 in 5-user family-packs. Even at $129, full-feature OS-X is less expensive than Win7 Home Basic.

Pretty much identical to the Vista versions.
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
It’s true I mean I’m sure a lot of us download porn and Vista allows me to do my work or watch Fox News while it downloads in the background. And I don’t get any viruses either, at least on the computer, so Vista’s ok with me.
