Windows Vista Complaints Thread

[alienationware]

My complaints about Win Vista SP1:

(1) Sound crashes. This is the first OS where I've ever experienced the sound system crashing, or doing an infinite mini-loop.
(2) First time I get "Warning: Write delay, data lost" when transferring a very large file from inside a VirtualPC HD to the outside via the VirtualPC.
(3) The first OS (since Win98) where if I don't reboot every 24 hours (I tend to leave my laptop on all the time), something goes awry.
(4) Looks and feels too much like Linux... Urghh...

My ONLY praise for Win Vista SP1:

(1) Regardless of which partition you install the OS, that partition will always be assigned the drive letter C: when you boot into that partition.

Isn't this a bit too late? Vista was released 2 years ago.

My Vista complaints is not related to the operating system, but its to the people who can't move forwards in life, and brings everyone down because they don't like technology.

I've been using Vista since July 2007 and have no complaints with it. At first it had a few issues, but those were all mostly 3rd party stuff that was quickly sorted out. I can boot to Vista, XP or Ubuntu and 80-90% of the time I'm using Vista.

Never had any problems with it. You'll only receive problems if you have rubbish specs or running software in a company which isn't compatible which is the last of my worries IMO.

I kinda agree with that..

I've never had any issue like the ones in this thread or ones that others have mentioned..

Vista doesn't crash or throw up errors for me, at all..never has really..

Yeah, same here. I've forgotten about crashes actually, they seem to be a thing of the past now.

I agree never had problems period with Vista...only issue I had was PG2 wont load unless I disable driver enforcement each boot up.

Not Vista's fault its PG2 fault because they didn't buy a license.
