i run (ran) may operating systems until now.

and none are as upsetting as VISTA...

i am selling the current copy i bought and will never try it again.
what a waste of money.omg!!!

it actually FORCES updating or else it banners "this copy is NOT genuine" ....ON THE DESKTOP !!!

i cannot support anything like it. ever again.
that is too "big brother" for anyone.

let alone the whole reason i bought it was for the ideal of its 3d desktop, (by the time vista came out, i have been running a linux environment in full 3D)
and on the vista install...

reported my laptop / video card was not powerful enough to run a 3d desktop...(yet for 6 months have been doing just that in Fedora)...



save your money.
or buy a MAC...

windows is a waste of time/ money and even blank cds its written on.

and with Mandrake (finally got wifi to be flawless), even after a massive crash, (left on battery power / and shutdown, then, removed runlevel5 (graphical) was able to resque it all seamlessly and wifi did not even need another config...

so much happier than w/vista..omy.

Thats a crazy screen what is it?

I wont go beyond XP, as I know how to fix it when it does/will break.

Next computer will run linux with a windows shell.
