Author Topic: Blockland + Vista =...  (Read 3155 times)

I am truly annoyed by n00bs who think Vista is screwing up there Blockland, I reckon its because of handicaps saying XP is better then Vista, True in some cases but Vista is the future if you like it or not, I don't see some of the new better features on Vista on XP. As Blockland pretty much runs exactly the same on Vista as it does on XP there is no problem with Vista just your handicapped computer skills. If you cannot portforward don't blame it on Vista, if Blockland isn't working don't blame it on Vista.

The ONLY problem that I HAD with Vista (Other then the commen problem of Crashes etc like XP) was the UAC (User Account Control) It screws up allot so I simply turned it off then my Vista problems where fixed. The only really type of difference for me was the theme and layout change, but I got used to it.

With vista being new, graphics card companies and what not haven't yet made drivers for vista's new system of whatever, it's not vista's fault that games don't run on it. But it does suck, for reasons I can't be bothered looking up, google it.

It isn't a horrible OS, most of the people who say that it is garbage are using Windows 98 & XP.

Very ture.

One thing making it slow is the fact they had to create a system that constantly checks to make sure any HD video your watching on it isn't pirated. It does it, supposedly, several times a second and you can't turn it off because it's embedded in the kernel.

making it slow
My computer goes as fast as it says and no slower :3

What kind of Vista do you have and is your computer powerful?

I'm pretty sure that's only used when you have a media player open, to do elsewhere would be pointless.

Vista is Microsoft's latest offensive on PC gaming.  They're trying to kill off pc gaming so more cigarettes will buy xboxes.

Do you have anything to backup these claims? I know Vista sucks for gaming but that just sounds outrageous.
