:mad: No good sound drivers, Firefox crashes, every little software has weird colors, hickups or some quirky behavior... I hate it!!! :mad:
I suggest you avoid it like the plague for at least 6 months!!!!

pretty much. I remeber when windows xp was like that....
Wow. I'm surprised Vista recognized your approval to post that...
I got a free Vista upgrade when I bought my new Dell computer, and it came with this Dell Upgrade Companion disc, which pretty much fixed most all of the bugs associated with the Dell programs. And there is an option to run programs in an XP SP 2 compatibility, which fixed the bugs in Diablo 2 and WoW (Final Fantasy XI is surprisingly doing fine). There was finally a fix for this program that was causing a stacking dump issue, or whatever the hell was going on. So as soon as Creative gets off of their butts and makes a Vista compatible version of their software so I can have 3-D sound again (not that I'm missing it all that much) I'll be set.
I like my XP 64 bit edition thx.
MY WINDOWS 95 OWNZ ALL.
Thanks for being a sheep.
Mmm, luckily I isn't getting it.
From the experience I have had with it, I see it as a move in the right direction. However, I'll definitely be waiting a year or two before switching to it - most likely until I get a version with a new computer.
Hear hear. The betas were even worse.
Time to install a real operating system? :p
Yeah, I'm glad I'm never going to have to use it XD

I hate it with a passion but it came with my new PC so I'm leery of downgrading it to XP. But it is so bad a lot of people on the HP forum have already downgraded their laptops.
The worst part is the sound. My sound card has no good driver for Vista and I'm forced to use the new Windows Sound Mixer which reeks! It mixes all sounds with the mike input, making anything that plays on the laptop garbled with dog barks, kids runing around, etc... In echo!!! When I disable the mike - get this - it disables all sound.
Grrrrr!!!! :mad:
I won't be buying it for a good half year... I got a "customer preivew beta" disk, and tried it out. And 3/4 months later i am quite happy with XP...
But then again i suppose the best way to fix the bugs is to have consumer feedback.. But it still was too early to release... they should have stuck with beta for longer to make it less buggy.
