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 fixed most of my problems now with running a Virtual Machine within Vista. Pretty much XP inside Vista. So far I had to download a registry cleaner to get rid of junk that Vista collected. Seems like Vista likes to hog junk and keep it in one pile. This HP laptop does indeed not allow you to install XP and even if you found a way there is no drivers to support it. I bought it at BestBuy because they offered a 18Month interest free on it. Specs:
4.5lbs 6 cell Battery for 4 hrs Geforce 9300GS 512 mb video card 4gb ram 300Gb Hdd fingerprint,DVD,remote. Centrino 2.0 Ghz I bought it mostly to carry around and use for gaming during the free time from class. |
