I got a new laptop the other week with Vista on it and I’m not impressed with it - it’s really slow to boot and open some programs up (like FireFox).

And having to confirm that you want to run an installer every time is a pain in the butt, but a good security feature I suppose.

I’m still tempted to rollback to XP Pro though. I’m just not diggin’ Vista!

I’m totally not a Vista fan. My laptop is still in XP, and we got it before Vista came out, so we got an upgrade CD. I tried it for a few weeks and the darn thing kept crashing, certain programs wouldn’t work, etc. Granted, this was when Vista was still pretty new. Hopefully they’ve sorted the kinks out by now!

Yay for a new ‘puter! As for Vista I think those who complain the most are those who don’t understand computers much. It’s a brand new OS that unless it’s tested by millions of users, is going to have some bugs, XP was the demon from hell when it was first released but almost a decade with going on 3 service packs soon has made it “superior” for the PC side of things (not including linux lol)

Only Vista “issues” old hardware means you manually need to find the driver and old software may not work, and that has to do with THOSE companies rather than Microsoft.

Am I rambling? Still the majority of computers I repair are due to infections (limewire is a gateway to hell!) rather than true OS issues (that are unrelated to infection).

My husband’s laptop has Vista. When I use it, I like it. But I only use it for simple things like the internet or writing. I never use it for any sort of in depth program. But I actually enjoy it.

When you get your laptop let me know how you like Vista. I’ve heard mixed things about it as well.

The laptop I want comes with Vista so I’m hoping when that time comes it’ll be a smooth transition for me and there won’t be any issues with vista itself.

my roomy at school uses vista and loves it, she also just got her computer and the only issue she had was connecting to wireless internet, but other then that it ran great.

I run Vista on my laptop and have been quite happy with it, actually. *nods*

I’ve heard of people having problems with Vista when they tried to upgrade. Mostly that it used too much memory. But I bought a new computer after the New Year with Vista and haven’t had any problems.
