I've been using vista since January on my new Toshiba laptop and I have to admit I haven't had any of the problems you people are experiencing. I have no issue with the software but I will suggest making a wait before upgrading to vista oh and Firefox runs perfectly fine for me no problems there at all. Only on some sites (namely Facebook when I try and create/edit a gallery) do I have problems.
I'll get Vista when XP becomes officially useless.

She loves it more then X!I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.
I only started using Windows XP a year ago and I love her to bits. I think I'll move to Vista in another few (five?) years or so.

Installing Vista seems to be the issue I'm having but I might just have a dodgy copy *considers reburning the iso his Uni gave him...*
Ohhh it just occurred to me;
The mac adverts will love this!
Wonder how well pre-OSX software runs on todays MACs. Just a thought.

Vista does have some issues, but it does have some major improvements over XP. I use Vista and the only thing that pisses me off is the sound drivers. Oh, and its kinda messed up the volume control, it does go from quiet to louder, but doesnt tell you how loud and how quiet, it just says its always on max. Other than that, It has never crashed my computer, its more efficient with programs. I mean, say when I try to convert files, or convert files on DVD etc. It takes only half the time on Vista that it would take on XP, big bonus points there. Vista's layout is alot better than XP, even if it copied Mac. Oh, and it looks puuuurrrty.
Im still not fond of Vista......or XP......or any Windows computer. Im getting a Macbook Pro as soon as I get the money. I have 2 Mac's in my house, a G4 and a G5. Both superior to Windows in almost every way, apart from gaming, which isnt important people!
it is when you only own a N64
I guess, but it funny that the only argument against the Mac is gaming. Not everyone is a gamer, people....oops I mean kids should realise this by now.
See? Windows at least tries to be backwards compatible.It doesn't. 8.6 was the last system to run all the old shizzle. Thank god my imac is 8.6 :p

I thought OSX ran OS* apps in Classic mode.
Two pains: GRUB and LILO.

[QUOTE=Loony BoB;2156829]Read: They're improving, and will more than likely continue to do so.
Why didn't they do the improvements before release?
You mean like with Rosetta?See? Windows at least tries to be backwards compatible.It doesn't. 8.6 was the last system to run all the old shizzle. Thank god my imac is 8.6
Backwards compatability is what makes windows the giant piece of bloated hackware that it is.
It sounds wonderful, you can keep your software forever! but it applies stagnation to the OS. After five years, it's usually time to reinvent the wheel, or at least refine it and make it roll better.
needing to repurchase the software is a silly idea anyways. People turn to open source for what they can't or aren't willing to pirate (at least in the public)
