[QUOTE="opamando"]Says the fella that just finished complaing about people bashing MAC's. Vista is just fine right now. I am going to get it myself soon, but everyone I know personally that has used it has liked it. And most of the people on this forum seem to agree.
I just hate how people "discrimate against Vista like white society was discriminating against blacks and hispanics wholesale even as late as the 1960s" Sorry, I could not resist.
To each his own!

Vista does not work. It is overly retarded in many of its design choices. And many of its "new features" were done earlier and better in various other OS's, API's, etc. I think it is completely unacceptable how even though my monitor does support DVI-HDCP, Vista refuses to even so much as give it a signal on DVI. And then while it does let me use native res on VGA, it then refuses to let me watch my HD-DVD movies because then it whines about not having HDCP compliance. Considering it's now been ONE YEAR and a service pack later, this is completely unacceptable from Windows Vista. Vista has done nothing but outright deserve all of its negative criticisms. There is no reason for a new version of an OS to take up 750% the install size of its prior edition (XP: 2GB install. Vista: 15GB install. What the **** for?!). There is no reason for Vista to drop OpenGL support altogether, since nearly everything that goes into being a "new feature" to rave about for a new update of DirectX was likely tested beforehand on OpenGL first. Vista's Aero was done earlier and better in OS X's Aqua and Core Extreme elements. There is no reason for Internet Explorer to be so inextricably integrated into Windows like Microsoft wants people to believe. There is no valid reason for DirectX 10 to have cut compatibility for DirectX 9.* the way it did. And nowadays, there is no technical reason anymore for why DX10 should be Vista-only. It's been proven time and again with every new computer game released on Windows that just about everything that has been harped on as a good thing of DX10 can be done in DX 9, and in many cases, with improved performance. And despite their Games for Windows initiative, I find it positively hilarious that there are many GfW titles that still do not work in Vista, either. And if you want to talk serious enterprise and corporate **** forget it. Vista's even more hated and demonized in the corporate space than ever with SP1 breaking many of the commercial apps that only finally started working with non-SP'd Vista. :| Oh, sure, your receptionists and clerks won't give a **** if they use Office all day, but anyone using Point-of-sale, 3dsmax/Maya3D, autoCAD, etc. hate Vista more than the enthusiasts who go about breaking overclocking world records, for instance. The amount of things that end up hobbled, lobotomized or broken by going to Vista go beyond absurd. Anyone who's not completely ****ing blind should see that Vista should have been scrapped and Microsoft should instead focus its efforts on Windows 7 to save face in the consumer and corporate worlds.A lot of people would say MACs are retatrded, but I am not gonna say that myself.
But I am tired of hearing your "my monitor won't work in Vista" argument. That is a problem with your monitor manufacturer, NOT Vista, no one else has had that problem, so talk to Gateway I believe.
What space did XP take over 98, not 2000 as that was basically XP? I mean that is horrible, I mean 15GB, holy crap, that almost takes up my entire 500GB HD :roll:
Who care about IE, most people that know the difference use FF or something else anyways.
Most bussniess just started using XP, Vista is for the home user now, IMHO.
I love how people bring up Windows 7. But I guess when it is getting ready to come out, you will be saying the exact same thing, just replace XP with Vista, and Vista with Windows 7. Windows is only good when it is way out over the horizon, or about to done away with, whatever.
