I don't agree with you. Windows XP loads slow too, not just Vista. In fact, since SP1, Vista loads *a lot* faster.

Haha yeah. That is why their sales are very low coz why pay extra money to get a slower OS? LOL
Vista suxxx.. Nuff said.

I just started to use Vista 3 weeks ago, and I still thinks Vista is cool.
Although Mac could be better, but most of the programs, games, etc are compatible more with Microsoft than Apple Mac.

hhmmm..

ill give my 20 cents...

i remember BACK in the day when i was using winME and my housemate just installed winXP...remember this is when XP just came out like when VISTA did.winXP was like crap compared to winME back then,mostly XP had a lot of compatability issues with software and hardwares back then...if ure old skool, ull DEFINATELY REMEMBER.

then reason why vista fails is simple...compatability issues.EXACTLY the same with winXP when it FIRST came out.

come on,i know some people will still continue to use win98.no one does nowadays, the reason behind this, COMPATABILITY issues and no support. who in the world wants to install a driver to plug in your thumbdrive?come on...even monkeys can deduce this...
if MS had implemented service packs to all its windows, like win98 will be service pack 8 or something..im sure there will be users out there still using older versions of windows if they fix all the issues.

agreed. I loathed vista when i 1st using it, but after about 1 week usage i started to love it. It requires some internal tweaking though (at least for me) like disabling some unwanted services like superfetch...etc... It's very fast in my PC, faster than XP which is my previous OS.

But i believe win 7 is faster, if u hate vista, wait for 7~

Here's a bit statistic on OS usage.

It seems that since it's released, Vista didn't accelerate that much.
Still no. 1 is XP..

So? Slow acceleration of Vista doesn't mean that the product sucks. Scroll down to the bottom, what do you see? Statistics Are Often Misleading. Just seeing OS sucks by it's pure bloatiness and slowness on your crap PC doesn't cut it, see from the features side, compare it to what it have to offer than Windows XP and see if it's really sucks, your action of accusing Vista sucks by providing usage statistics alone just shows that how immature you are.

At least I can provide some information on why it has failed.
What about you? Can you provide information and statistic on why Vista a successful?

I didn't say Windows Vista was a successful release, however, here's a Softpedia 30 reasons to change to Windows Vista and Softpedia Windows Vista SP1 Infection Rate is 48.8% less than Windows XP SP3 statistic.

Great post FarCry!
Informative and independent.

No problem, just sharing what others should know, so their judgment won't biased toward one side opinion only.

Well telling you guys what, I use Vista Ultimate *ahem* (now updated to SP1) and it runs faster then using XP (SP2) on my PC. Seriously, no tipu tipu . More stable sumore, now I can leave my on PC for 2,3 weeks without a glitch compared to XP need restart after 2,3 days unless I want a laggy PC (yeah, I am kinda 27/7). And this Vista of mine is making record as it doesn't need any reformatting&reinstalling for a very long time (almost a year now) unlike XP (because of corrupted system file, virus, etc... Sometime I reformat XP after like 5,6 months only. Well, so far my vista never stop rockin') well thats for stability.

Security issue also Vista would win easily. For me those User Account Control doesn't bother me as I know now I can have more control on my system and do not have to hand over security holes to hackers/viruses for the sake of convenience. This is the only example though, I don't go more deeper

Whats more? Yeah obviously the lovely GUI. Now I see XP having obsolete GUI and Vista have more good looking up-to-date GUI (with Windows Aero enabled that is). More suitable for my year 2008 rig, yes. More 'high tech' looking, absolutely.

As for software environment, yes, I did got some complication getting used to Vista and all that program compatibility issue. But for me, it is still manageable and after sometime using Vista, my PC is up and rocketing. Very few problematic software and I myself quickly adjusted to Vista without any major problem. All I do is just exploring with curiosity

Well maybe that is all I want to type (long already). So my conclusion is, I very much agreed with FarCry3r, blame your PC, not the Vista. Any1 accusing Vista is just another eye-sore-ing comment for us satisfied Vista users! If you don't believe me then you are most welcome to see my PC and look how great is Vista is doing.
