if that is true vista will wipe the *ahem* mp3s or blabla,
then what is the point of using vista?
for ms word, excel, msn, surfing net and check mail only?

I had posted a question reragding this topic at officcial newsgroup of Microsoft.., no worries, i didn't meantion what type of tfiles or whatever.., see the one below:


"Ian" <Ian@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AD237949-A73F-4EF6-9DA8-DAAB0AC40FFA@microsoft.com...

I have heard alot of news that Vista can search and delete users files without being notice by the user., such as media files and etc?

Is it true??

There were few people claimed that their media files gone deleted by the OS..

As i far as i concern, this violates privacy rights regardless what type of files that the OS deleted.

I was very happy on planning to upgrade to Vista before this..

Thanks.

Ian

WTF? that's utter bullshit. I've been using Vista since Beta I and I never had it delete any of my MP3's, and I even use WMP11 as my default media player. And one thing I hate about In-Tech is that their articles are usually taken from LAT/WP, which supports Open Source more than they do on Microsoft, thus all their articles are always biased. If you ever compare any article they did with article done in house (ie: by InTech own reporters), they differs in opinion.

To those who is using the retail version of Vista Home/Business/Ultimate, please tell us the 'build' version of your Vista. Wonder if it is the same build (6000) as the Vista RTM?

Guys,

I just bought Windows Vista Ultimate FULL PACKAGE 64bit. Just install it yesterday.

I think i make a mistake la, should i be getting only the 32 bit?

oh man...you're sure in hot soup. Run back to your supplier and change it pronto!!

btw, all those crap about Vista deleting files are nonsense. All my ripped MP3 (from my originals CDs) are still there safe and sound.

What i'm really annoyed is Nvidia who has NO VISTA DRIVERS for the NFORCE 500 series platform yet!!!

So much for the VISTA Ready logo plastered all over their website!!!!

Well, at least it still can run, but maybe not optimize.

It's better to go for 32bit.
64bit wouldn't be stable until every other softwares are stadardize in 64bit.

BTW, i'm on vista ultimate 32bit. It runs fine. it's just that i can't install kaspersky antivirus. Any suggestion for alternative antivirus software?

my "ahem" version is 6.0.6000 which i think is retail and is on "unlimited" trial

and i don't think it will delete anything without asking permission first. even renaming a file need permission. stupid UAC

u can install kaspersky 6.0.2.614 .. NOD32 and Avast work well too

Try NOD32 v2.7.

u can disable the stupid UAC on ur own.

I thought Nvidia already released drivers for nForce 500 series, i might be wrong...try to check the official website again...

i using microsoft tools to test, it show that my old lappy can install Vista ? it's is Acer Travelmate 2308 (512mb ddr333, Pentium M 1.5ghz only.)

No ler. Now there's a bunch of users in US planning to sue Nvidia for failing to provide drivers!!

check here. already got nforce 5 and 6 series driver

u meant this?
