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.

Direct X 10 is BS... can hardly tell the difference between 9 and 10. My only problem with Vista... very slow at basic copy/paste functions... along with folder access. AND... the way Vista handles sound with audiodg (windows audio) is crap crap crap. Randomly surges and takes up 99% cpu processing during gaming... which pretty much freezes the system for several seconds. Overall, I would rate 6.5 out of 10.

Windows 7 fixes a lot of that stuff.
Its all the benefits of Vista, with the speed of XP.

It's also worth pointing out that a lot of people HATED XP when it first came out. It was slower then 98se and had more compatibility problems. It wasn't until service pack2 came out that people accepted it.
