Vista doesn't have an oversized taskbar, Vista isn't as laggy as Windows 7, Vista doesn't have as much default programs, Vista isn't as complicated, and Vista is more user-friendly. Use XP or 2000 instead. They both pwn Windows Vista and 7 by a mile. Or, use Linux (specifically Ubuntu), it pwns all of them. --- End quote --- 1.Vista was OK. I just didn't like the compatibility 2.The new Windows 7 taskbar looks pretty damn lovey 3.Vista eats ram like black people eat watermelons. What are you on? 4.Windows 7 looks damn simple 5.Vista is TOO user friendly. I don't like pop-ups every 5 seconds saying ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO RUN THIS?!?!??! 6.XP was good I admit that but it was time for a change, like Rex said. 7.And I already have Ubuntu on a laptop made for 95. Ubuntu isn't enough to overwrite my gaming computer's OS though. |

It needs tons of RAM to run without being slow, it would take up nearly half of my laptop's HD space before you would have enough space to save anything on it while running it. That's not really the whole point, though. I don't want to use a computer that gets too confusing after 5 minutes of use. If Windows' future depends on as much complication and user un-friendly features as CLIs did, then Vista and everything after that can suck it. --- End quote --- It uses less than a GB of memory when idle, and that can lessened by disabling certain features like superfetch. Memory is dirt cheap now anyway. Maybe you need an upgrade? I've never found Vista that confusing. Sure, some of the networking options are buried under a couple of GUIs but generally it is built similarly to XP. If you are really having that much trouble with it, perhaps you should buy the Dummies guide to it? |
