Vista 3000

Now THAT’S funny! 

Did you do that yourself, or which site did you get it from?

Amusing. 
However, let me be a buzzkill by stating I had a total or maybe 10 or 15 bluescreens in W2K and XP combined, and have had none in Vista.
Ask a Machead about how well OSX ran.  Heh.

What timing!

I’m ordering a new Dell (probably today) and am trying to decide if I should get Vista Ultimate this time.

I’ve never had the blue screen of death with Vista, either.

I switched from Vista back to XP Professional. Vista never gave me any blue screens, but it’s done a whole host of other problems and I just got tired of dealing with them. And I had Vista Ultimate, though it doesn’t matter. It’s the same Vista no matter what version you have. They just uunlock features depending on the serial number.

John,

I got it from some Image site, like Photobucket, but I forget the URL

Ah, gotcha!

Funny that Toren didn’t have any problems with it, though.  I wonder how that is.

The problems with Vista is its an incredible resource hog, it runs slower, it doesn’t allow youto do a lot of things you could do with XP, which I need to do as a developer. And as a system admin. For example, it will often tell you you don’t have permission to delete or use a file or program. I’m the only user on my computers! I am the sys admin. Yet in Vista you have to run some programs as admin, even if you are signed in as one already, you have to go through an extra step.

It is incredibly anal and it takes away a lot of freedoms and it runs slow. Plus, it’s a big DRM monster. It’s also incompatible with a lot of hardware and software to this day. When it came out it was incompatible with a lot of MICROSOFT programs!

I decided to just drop it. I still have it installed on a separate hard drive, so I can switch back if I need to, by changing the boot order. But they make it so if you want to uninstall it, you have to reformat th hard drive and start from scratch. It’s absurd.

I find the whole thing offensive. I can get all the eye candy from free programs that make my system look like Vista.
