Rofl, same with me!
I think I'll buy one in 3-4 months when I get to need a laptop for school.
Personally I think Vista is just perfect, all you need is a great computer:P
 
i'm too scared to even try vista...had some look at it. it's really good for playing spider solitaire and making my mum's migraine go really bad. Vista will do for some basic stuff but considering that you can get better(matter of opinion, of course...) for free (Ubuntu or other linux distros, 98SE, Windows 3.11...) *maybe* you shouldn't bother.
 
Lol, you better stay on that 'personal opinnion'. Because Vista just needs a good configuration and it'll do just fine. It's a great memory hog, it takes all the memory you have, so the more you have, the more will Vista take, but it will run smoother and faster with more RAM!

My point, which I think you've helped illustrate (though I'm not sure quite what the above comment was supposed to mean exactly), is that MS has put out an operating system that 90% of consumers will not be happy with. In comparison to XP, without expensive hardware upgrades, their user experience will suck. And even with those upgrades (if they can afford it), the changes that have been made to the OS don't make sense to anyone outside Microsoft's PR team, and leaves end users confused.

Most people on this forum, whether they like Vista or not, could probably get by with it because we are little more technically inclined than your average Joe/Jane. But we're not the main target MS is selling this mistake to. I work in a computer store and I see how many people have bought a new computer with Vista on it, and they are coming back confused, unhappy about the speed, and shaking their heads at what a horrible operating system it is. They want their XP back, and in the eyes of many (myself included), that makes it a failure.

But I guess in the end, it doesn't really matter what the end-user wants, because MS has already made their coin, and charges $60.00 a pop for tech support questions. Hmmm.

not everyone is dirt poor they can't upgrade their processor, or even their comp
 
I've been using Vista for only about 3 months and can't stand it. Slow, tempramental and VERY user un-friendly. In my opinion it's the biggest egg Microsoft has ever laid, the biggest mistake they ever made.
I'm running Vista 32 bit with 400GB hard drive, 3GB RAM and a 2.8 AMD64.
I'll take an P1 with XP or even Windows 98 any day over this.

I always wanted vista. Then i got it. Now i want to shove it up bill gates rich A*s.

Pros. Dx10.

Cons. everything
 
Pros : Faster than XP, more efficient on memory, dual/quad core optimized, nice interface, better compatibility over XP, non-intrusive Windows Sounds, looks nice.

Cons : The Vista haters who go around saying how bad it is with nothing to backup their statement, unable to defrag a certain drive, however, that is been changed for SP1.


The memory usage is dependent on your RAM, as it uses it for your swapfile, saving your hard disk and giving you a faster operating system. However, if the memory is needed, it is there. Now for prices, you can pick up a 1GB stick for $19.99... So just get 2 of those or even 1 of those and a 512MB stick for $9.00.....
