That pretty much ends this thread. Great answer.Since Apple's hardware isn't years ahead of the market, on an Apple [Mac] XP will run much faster as Vista also. People who want to install Windows on their Mac usually do it so they can use a few specific programs. So why bother with a slower OS, when there's a fast an stable one?
thats like calling an Olympic athlete too resource hungry, of course the athlete will eat more, he is more functional and agile! Also, in a world of expanding CPU's , cheaper RAM and HD's this is becoming non issue, esp for those who have the newest equipment to run their new os.
I don't hate Vista, but i dislike it:
Too resource hungry.
Ridiculous silly effects get in the way of productivity.
Too many versions, too pricey
Way too long to install, get running smoothly
Games don't run as fast (by all accounts, no exp. here)
It represents a whole five years of work, achieving quite little.
Feels like a beta->
-> Practically WAS a Beta when first released, terrible first few months
Shiny black and transparency can appear gaudy
For the record, i use OS X, Ubuntu Linux (occasionally the odd bit of Gentoo, etc.) and Xp/Vista regularly. I prefer OS X out of my own choice, not out of some closed minded stubbornness. OS X just rocks.
People, please stop posting. He hasn't posted a thing on this site since yesterday evening. Just let it go.
I am sorry my friend but I don't get it. Why should we stop posting? I was just answering to the original question...
you cant do that in any version of windows. im asking specifically whats flawed with vista...
Because just about every post provided a valid answer. The guy stuck a soft spot and has left. We're talking to ourselves.
And I hope you don't wasn't directing my comments at you personally - I was just noticing that there have been about 20 posts in this thread since the guy last responded. If my tone cause you to feel otherwise, I apologize.
I have not left, I am well alive and have read all of the responses. I haven't responded because I feel I said all that needed to be said thus far and there hasnt been much that really elicited a response that would contain anything new.
I'm pretty offended though that people have taken such a negative tone in answering me... I asked an honest question and did not expect such negativite, loathful, and defeatist responses. Yes, there were a few well thought out and rational responses, but for the most part, people kept repeating the same platitudinal and unrelated arguments. For the sake of objectivity here, lets try to leave our abberant emotions aside, and try to communicate in a more coherent manner. I know, it may be hard, as many here just naturally have lots of rage when it comes to anything microsoft...but please, don't take your microsoft hatred out on me...![]()
