Windows Vista, Yes it sucks ass Options

[soulshadow]

I recently bought a HP Laptop at Best buy and it came with Vista. Well all I can say is that Vista really sucks ass. I have a USB to serial adapter to run my MegaSquirt and apparently the dumb ass OS Does not know how to reconigze the device even when the drivers are made for Vista. It keeps saying Drivers not found. Thanks microsoft for making one of the dumbest and 5hittest OS on the market today. I even tried to install Windows XP only to find out that HP blocked out any window OS below Vista.
Gosh I hate this freakin Laptop and I can't return it too since I need it for school.

I have Vista Ultimate and I had problems connecting to Manny's e-Manage Ultimate (that's why I didn't get it) and I read somewhere about downloading some drivers so windows would recognize certain USB devices and I tried a few things but nothing seemed to work, but I'm not great with computers so maybe that's my problem.

I did read that some people have absolutely no problems with Vista, some people can only connect to certain things, and some people have problems connecting everything without finding the drivers elsewhere. I couldn't connect to the e-Manage but my AEM F/IC and Innovate wideband connect just fine so I guess that's ok. I don't play games on my laptop so I really don't notice anything beings really slow.
