Vista Circles of Life and Death

    Is anyone as tired as I am of staring at the Vista Spinning Circle of
    Microsoft Incompetence?
    From boot-up to shut-down and everything in between I am utterly tired of
    staring at this spinning circle. Vista, SP1, SP2: nothing changes.
    The best anyone can say about Vista is that at least it works, sort of.
    The computer I write this on boots to XP, Vista and Win 7: only the middle
    OS spins and spins and spins waiting to do anything while the hard drive
    thrashes like a an out of balance clothes dryer.
    Vista apologists need not respond. If you only run Vista on a machine you
    cannot see how utterly lousy it really is and what you are missing in
    performance from your hardware.
    Linux propeller heads can sit in a corner and spin their beanies. Some of us
    have to accomplish real work instead of endless futzing with an OS.
    On this machine Win7 has become my default OS and I will gladly pay for the
    final version when it goes on sale so I can recover the hard drive space
    wasted on Vista. The performance of the XP virtualized OS in Win7 is nearly
    as fast as Vista on its own.
    If Microsoft had any honor (or business acumen) they would offer Win7 for a
    limited time as the free service pack it should be for users stuck with the
    utter kludge that is Vista.
    However Microsoft has demonstrated it would prefer to pay billions to the EU
    in fines rather than treat its customers fairly.
    It is indisputable that dead and buried General Motors executives from the
    60s and 70s psychically control Steve Balmer. There is no other rational
    explanation for the performance of Microsoft under his direction.

    Perhaps everyone prefers MAC's merry go round color circle...talk about

    Is there anyway to get the hourglass back? This should actually be a

    Well he/she did ask a question; don't think he/she got the answer that
    he/she thought that he/she would.

    Too much work to be politically correct, never again.

    I think that incompetent children who can't learn enough about
    a computer to make even a canned Microsoft operating system run properly
    should find a Linux head and beg her to give him her beanie so he can
    amuse himself with it instead of wasting bandwidth whining about how he
    can't get any REAL work done because Vista sucks boo hoo hoo.

    99% of Vista problems is hardware that is too old or not powerful enough to
    run it! I suppose you were misinformed enough to think xp was the best!.
    Then you were probably not around when it came out and MILLIONS of people
    had problems with it as well. Xp became a half decent op system only after
    sp2 but by then it was so bogged down with patches and updates that it was a
    pig compared to when it first came out! I personally have a problem with
    people who seem to have the intelligence to come here to get help but then
    rant about something without posting a specific problem they are having nor
    posting any specs as to what they have equipment wise. How on earth is
    someone supposed to help if one does that and besides that was probably the
    10th post in a row I read that was almost identical in ranting but no
    question involved! I always do what I can to help with my somewhat limited
    knowledge of some of the problems but I cannot help always, when that
    happens I try and direct them to someone who can. Mostly I read these
    questions to learn answers and have a better understanding of why they
    occur. Now why are YOU here? I personally do not care what you think but
    know this, as I have stated many times in other posts and or forums. Vista
    is and has been rock solid on this machine since day 1 of the rtm. I ran the
    beta as well as the rc and I did have problems then but not since

    I don't think that's true. XP was pretty good from the start
    although at the beginning 2000 was far more stable.

    Sir.. I do not necessarily believe that is true. If you tried to run xp on
    inferior hardware it was slow and it crashed a lot.. I remember the posts
    and everyone screaming "Give me back 98!" or "Why should I have to upgrade
    to this operating system that is so much trouble!" Granted xp ran better
    out of the box with slower hardware but running it on "minimal" was just as
    dangerous as running vista on a gig or less. (see last line in this post)
    Vista was pretty good from the start on this box but I run a quad core and
    4gigs of fast ram and a good graphics card.. From all the research I am
    reading I get that win 7 is more or less xp with vista's flashy gui and
    security which granted is not perfect but a lot more secure than xp. One
    does get tired of posters saying that it is crap when there is a substantial
    amount of people that are not having problems. I got xp when it was first
    released and experienced the same thing. It ran quite well on my machine at
    that time (1 gig processor and 1 gig of ram and pretty good dedicated
    graphics card) but others were not so lucky. They tried to run it on
    machines that were barely strong enough for win 95. I have always believed
    that when a new and more thirsty operating system comes out then you need to
    start fresh with a machine that will "comfortably" run it but only if you
    must have the latest op system. We could get into the discussion of vista
    capable but we all know that was a crock as well!

    No, it wasn't that good. XP really only 'came alive" with SP2.

    Only for idiots like you it did...

    XP was a great OS from the start.... vista was a dead OS from the
    start,and win7 will seal its grave, while there is still GREAT DEMAND
    for XP...

    how do you explain that you bastard?

    No reply needed.. rhetorical question.. I will tell you why

    XP was good, vista was crap.

    The hardware requirements are designed to accomodate Bloated code which is
    bloated to suit children, home users, housewives, etc people with low IQ so
    that they would not get lost in straightforward simplistic menus. These
    people require multimedia and they believe that computers were invented to
    watch porn, play retarded hiphom music and otherwise kill none of which is
    of any use to a busienss user.

    Therefore as hardware requirements rise, so do revenues of hardware
    companies which in turn demands shinier, sleekier OS & Software which in
    turns feeds the cycle of hard-software dependency which just feeds endless
    cycle of SPENDING.
    Which is not bad. The alternative is a Communist system where government
    decides what industrial goods and needs people should have, rather than wild
    market. I was born/raised in Soviet Union, and it has shown tobe a killer
    of technological progress.

    So the ideal is in between.
    There;s should be limite dgovernment regulation of these gigantic monopolies
    as Microsoft, and yet market freedom for self-destruction o ffailing,
    inferior products.

    Vista is a disatser in comparative terms... it's a good OS< problem is MS
    shot themselves in the foot when they polished WindowsXP.
    WindowsXP is too good a benchmark to which all are compared, and when
    compared Vista is a hcildish toy, not a busieness OS unless oyu aply all
    these updates, patches and plugins.

    DO oyu know how much time I spent before file xfer over the Network & ALSO
    to USB external drive was a tolerable 15029MBps ratez?
    Do you know how much time it took to fix Office2007 selected text -
    backgroudn color invisible, so when you search for text strings in Word docs
    you don't know what/where it found?

    Vista Search... don't even mention it, I was forced to download FileLocator
    Pro instead. And I had to pay.

    WindowsExplorer - Vista style, I want to smack somebody in the head for
    making it forget folder views and insist in dumba** media style layout.
    backgrou nd colors - why do WinXp apps OBEY system-wide colors but
    WIndowsLive and many Vista crapwares insists on WHITE background?
    I happen to use Black sicne 1992... 17 years. I've been doing computers
    long before, in the age of Gopher, Finger, BBS and online services which
    were self-contained.

    By comparison Vista is not a busienss-optimized OS, it's a toy. It's shiny,
    cute and... USELESS.

    I SAID MANY TIMES WHAT BUSINESS USER CARES FOR AERO TIPS, AERO PEAKS, AERO
    TRICKS??
    Who cares? People who need productivity immediately switch to Classic
    appearance, Classic Start menu, Classic Explorer behavior... so?
    SO why spend 3 year sdeveliping this piece of a... toy lets say softly?
