Coreper Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 of course vista is crap > you should onyl buy it after like 2 years , then its bug-free and safebut, why would you even get Windows Vista?you can get the Windows Flip 3D effect and the Aero/Vista look on Windows XP too, and XP is much safer [unlimited security; and no MS crap]the only good thing about windows vista is that is has got fully supported 64-bit computing...

nellie2 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 There is a lot more to Vista than just the Aero visual effects. Saying Vista is crap is a very wide and strong statement. It is a lot more secure than XP, it has been built with security in mind, it only becomes less secure than it is meant to be when users disable the security features.The voice recognition problem is one that can be worked out, along with other bugs and foibles that will no doubt be discovered. Vista is new and exciting... lets give it a chance to bed in before we totally dismiss it out of hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I certainly wouldn't dismiss it out of hand for a new computer, but will forecast that as people upgrade from XP, there will be a raft of problems. As I have said before, I would only have it on a computer built for it. Mine was built for XP and does all that I want of it, and I can see little sense in making an upgrade that I could well regret. Upgrade at your peril. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Moving to Vista IMO is like trying out a Linux system, it is different.Yes there will be bugs, but no OS comes out without faults.As Nellie says it is certainly more secure, but the UAC will drive people mad.

cozofdeath Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Not really very much of a security hole in my opinion. Maybe a low grade type of hole. I don't think there has been one critical hole yet to be found in Vista, but I don't think that will last very long. I agree UAC may send certain people to madness but it can be disabled and by default the built-in administer does not have it enabled. This seems to be how Vista is going to be. Another example is the built-in administer which acts the same, disabled by default but can be enabled. It seems they have security at mind. The no password accounts have heightened security as in later versions of XP. Most settings in Vista can be changed but its tightened down for security reasons.
