Windows Vista

Here you can talk about Vista.

Figures you would have to fix something related to Vista...

Lol, yeah, we both have Windows Vista...

IMO vista sucks. i'll stick with my good'ole XP. the only thing i like about vista is the look. which i have applied a converter kit to my xp to make it look like vista so.... yeah....

the looks are cool and it has SOME new features, which is good for microsoft

can you list me some other than video games?

Video games???

1. Microsoft Speech recognition
2. UAC (Long story since people hate it, but Viruses cant do anything without permission)
3. Windows Movie Maker (Updated, cooler etc)
4. Windows Sidebar (Useful, sometimes irritating though...)
5. Internet Explorer 7
6. Windows Media Player 11
7. New better start menu
8. More efficient document search
9. Smoother interface
10. New (And better) Media center

you diden't even mention the theme!
it also loads faster.

-lol i am making good points for microsoft!

but also on a brand new system, Vista is running over 70 processes compared to XP's 40 or so... give or take. Now for the gaming view it is better than xp (grphx and such) but ya... i just like the look of vista. i do however have a gaming computer with Vista on it for fun but whatever.

Hmm, i have 256MB ram and all those processes.
Well, Vista is still faster than XP

Vista is faster than XP i have done 6 tests comparing 3 sets of same computers and doing 2 tests on each set.

but how they made it faster i don't know / i would like to know

Same here...
When i have tweaked my XP it still runs slower than Vista non tweaked on SAME computer...
When i tweak my XP i usually

1. Run a script i created to disable several services
2. Disable the Theme service
3. Change to Windows Classic theme
4. Disable Screen Saver
5. Remove Auto-start programs using Easy Cleaner
6. Disable Auto Searching for printers when entering a folder
7. Disabling Automatic Updates
8. Freeing space
9. Defragmenting

And it is still faster than XP WITH Basic theme on.
I have read on Microsoft that the Aero Engine also make the computer faster, not only does it give those borders...
And i DONT have Aero...

oh i have aero on mine.

I know, lol...
I never really liked Aero, maybe it is because it looks sort of ugly, but i never tried it since my computer cant run the Aero engine...

aeros not ugly.

Aero is awesome. i have the theme on my xp!

i think it's one of the best things microsoft has done, omg another compliment to microsoft i think theres something wrong with me!

Me too, usually i said Vista sucks, XP rules, since i started using Vista more seriously i hate XP...
My XP is slower than ever...

i prefer mac osx

way better.

screw u guys. GO LINUX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aww thedevilsjester has that as a tattoo!

I encountered a really strange fluke with Windows Vista yesterday.
It said that i have 30 days to activate it.
And then it said your copy of windows vista is not activated.
I had to reactivate it, it took some time since it didnt really like my key for some reason, and when it did, this text in the bottom right corner (This copy of windows is not genuine it said (It says so when windows is not activated, always)) wouldnt go away, even though i got a dialog that it was activated,

i like vista bc its better, but do you know how many times i have to press ctrl alt del in one day? it goes pretty fast the rest of the time though. i'm just waiting for the next opereating system, hopefully it will fix most of the bugs and run fast.

i have a top of the range computer and i have never had a problem until yesterday... when msn and internet explorer froze, i went ctrl alt delete and it said unable to open logon menu! so i tried again it said the same thing. then my screen went black so i had to reboot now it's fine lol.

i hate Vista, i'm gunna kill bill gates.
GIVE ME THE AWESOMENESS OF XP BACK!!
