Subject: Do NOT buy Vista

If you want peace, prepare for war.

Your wrong in some of your arguments. Yes operating systems are complex, but if you happen to have a "glich" its not the end of the world for your computer. And i have a laptop from before 2004 that runs vista business just fine, its a little slow only because it doesnt have a video card. Its a pentium 4 socket 478 2.3ghz, with 512MB ddr333 ram.

Eh, this is more about Vista itself than Halo 2 for Vista. I'll just move this over to the Flood.

As I have said before, I am not buying Vista for at least 5 years, just look at what happened to Windows 98.

That only applies if you don't know what you're doing. That also applies to any other OS you try to install. But considering how Vista has an incredibly user-friendly interface, the chance of that happening should be less apparent.

When I was younger and messing up with OS-installations and partitions, I really messed up some stuff and was like "OH CRAP? WTF DID I JUST DO?!". And whenever I start-up my comp, nothing pops up, or I get an error. But I eventually found a way around it all.


But alas, everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.

I havent had any problems at all with vista, probably because im not downloading -blam!- all day long. Change your internet habits and it wont be a problem for you.

well really it would be better to buy a computer with vista on it already, so you wouldnt have to deal with the downloading glitches.

Yes Vista is still glitchy. All new operating systems are. XP was like that at one time or another but if you wait a year or two it will be nice and solid I'm sure. I had Vista for about 5 months then got sick of all the software incompatibilities and switched back to XP. I would recommend not getting it until everything is completely ironed out.

Who downloads operating systems besides Linux and expects them to work well?

He's right, thats why I downloaded the vista skin, it's legal, makes it look like you have vista, and is free.

Vista Skin 1.

Vista Skin 2.

Why would M$ make it so confusing? *crys*

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

You must really be stupid to screw up the instalation of an OS. I heard Linux has some qwerky install settings but windows is basically a "click next, enter serial number, click next" proccess.

So... we're told "DO NOT BUY VISTA" and then in the main text, we're better off buying a new pc that....comes with Vista on it?

Oh and as to the person who cant copy his dvd to the pc... its perfectly possible in Vista, Vista doesn't stop you. Mp3's DVD's etc... they can all be copied and ripped to disk etc.

I'm about to buy it... except I'll be installing it on my secondary hard drive, where the Vista beta currently is. I'll be able to use either one, and switch whenever I need to.

omg LIES vista works just fine on my computer

I get all regular updates many of my games are now working unlike -blam!- MAC and xp was also a pile of crap untill ms fixed all the bugs and now its great but vista is very fastly becoming more and more complete recently the gave me new vista webcam drivers for my cam :D so i say if your computer is below vista specs sell/destroy it and buy a new one or just upgrade the components so you are up to date with todays technology :D

btw if your a apple lover i will kill you, not because you insult me but because your mind has been poisoned by pure stupidity, MAC IS CRAP NEVER BY A MAC THING (its not a p.c) only buy mac if your planning on doing nothing but make movies all your life lol

The copyright protection is actually embedded into the dvd/cd. Windows only recognizes that it is copyrighted material and won't let you copy it.

Just remember, for every line of code that was written for copyright protection, there is someone smarter that has written code that will get around it.
