hey everyone check out this link some dude is putting together a big list of faults with vista and its ui http://www.istartedsomething.com/taskforce/?p=1
Why don't Vista bashers just die... Great, we all know every software has problems and bugs. Now give it a rest will ya?
Im all for these ejits to die but I think they should reconsider with what they're saying. Since now it looks exactly like, "it works but you've not done much else" - Why change something that works eh?
i agree, some of those supposid faults are some of the dumbest complaints ive ever heard. like how the icons are jaggy when enlarged,.and system property windows that look out of style, or dont entirely change color to match aero. people are so f*kin sissy-fied these days. its like i was reading the "sex and the city" list of vista complaints as far as im concerned vista itself is fine for the most part ,honestly for media center alone its kinda worth it,especially for htpc's vista is perfect. x86/x64 compatibility needs a bit more work and some driver/software issues,but most of those problems can be avoided by the user's choice.
Roflmao. They just don't know how to use computers. ;-) I personally like Vista. The UI was a little quirky at first, but that's because we've been using XP forever and a day. But really it's just XP at it's core bad habits and all, with some more features, some of which I guess are available in XP now & a nicer UI (Imo). I like media center too, it's way cooler than apples front row bull crap.
Vista UI is way easier to use then office 2007 which I got to use at work for a few months after which I HAD to move back The ''ribbon thing'' in office is an annoyance at first but you get used to it Vista, everything works fine from the start, everything you look for is there Even better I love how the address bar works in vista, so much easier to browser around your folders on your HD
Those complaints entirely retarted.... Its like saying, The Steering Wheel is outdated, its in the same spot.... or...Why do cars still have wheels??
Sure most of the complaints are stupid, but they all raise a valid point. That point is that Vista is underdeveloped and thrown together. Nothing is unified. I remember reading about how different development teams working on Vista could barely communicate with other teams, and this really shows it. It seems like every part was made by a completely independent team and they didn't even bother finding out what the other teams are doing. It also shows Microsoft's use of completely outdated code and how each version of windows was pretty much an update of the previous.
most complaints are GUI from what I can see no one is saying vista is shart that I can see just general complaints for GUI errors. Some complaints are pointless though like how a Window Does not use Win VISTA like GUI. But auto complaining about it and getting mad ain't an answer to this site now is it. I Don't see people bashing vista in it just reporting qwerks. Seriously why go so offensive if someone states a negative of VISTA. Every OS should get complaints and they do otherwise there would be no Progression if there was never complaints since then it would be perfect no?? Hell you want to Bash XP/Vista/Other OS go ahead as long as you don't attack someone else because they don't support your view. That also goes for over defensive people. My view on vista is that its not a worthwhile OS compared to Existing OS that I use oh yea and its not XP. And the OS i use just shows u I don't use the Complaint that vista costs too much. Why well Vista hampers Certain Software I use as well as increases the work time for some of the Work I do. And for the record i do own VISTA Ultimate, Vista Premium even installed on the computer I have now on a secondary HDD just doesn't get used much at all.
Same here. And I was running Vista on an Athlon 64 3400, Xpress200, and not even 1 gb of ram just fine.
Wow. So these people don't understand the meaning of consistency. If you completely change an operating system for the last iteration then you're going to alienate alot of users, and fewer people will uses it. I think Vista is great and it runs fantastically, in all honestly I've never had a smoother computing experience. I run Vista x64 as a computer science student, so I do alot of work on programming assignements / group projects and it's just fantastic.
when vista first released, most here hated it or bashed it to varying degrees. still a few out there but overall vista has warmed over as i predicted over one year ago. but then again, OSX and Linux has its huge plate of problems as well...so whats the point? W7 will have problems too
is Linux any better? is OSX any better? apparantly not since most of us are using Vista. and games is mostly why and mostly why the other OS's suck but doesnt mean we wouldnt be complaining about the others if games were made excuslively for them instead especially Linux cause its so varied and nonstandard
vista has improved alot since its orriginal release the main thing i found anoying about it was the volitile storage alot of my old programs needed to be recoded as i was unaware of how the enviroment was going to change in vista but now i have vis studio 2008 on vist 64 programing for it is getting alot better My view on this blog is it is a good idea for the developers to see bits that they missed when updating bits of graphics and ui from xp to the new style that vista uses and at the end of the day no amount of bug testing will eliminate all bugs and most the bugs that are found would'nt be notice till its in the hands of the end user anyway so this is a positive thing it not a means of bashing vista, like i say i really like it now and never have any major problems that cant be fixed feedback is good on an os its how later os's develope without feedback where would the computer industry be right now we'd still be limited to 640 k of memory and strugling to remember all the syntax to load a custom level in a game while making sure you had your vesa compliant driver loaded
90% nitpicking and ignorance. And the Safely Remove Hardware dialog? I've found it completely useless in any Windows release newer than Win2k.
