Vista

from Stardock Forums

I an so sorry many of you are screwed by Bill Gates and hus precious Vista software. I have a new computer and was forced to have vista as my OS. I found out how quickly how shity the OS was and had to spend $300 plus the loss of my in service wanrranty in the process. All told, it costed me $600 when you add that I am void of a warranty now. With that being said, it was well worth it because I don't have to deal with that piece of crap anymore. The really shity thing about it all is the Bill Gates saw how badly he f'd up and as if to stick it in our faces, he discontinued XP altogether on June the 30th.

There is some good news though: his stock has taken a bad tumble over the past 6 months and he has lost several billions of dollars over it because of his precious Vista program that he doesn't want to admit as being a bad project.

The other part of the good news is that Macintosh is laughing all the way to the bank for their stock has gone up 200% in the same 6 months.

I know that is not much in the consulation dep't for you, but he is taking a huge hit for this also. You can still get it on ebay, but it is getting expensive really fast now so I highly suggest you pick one up before it is too late. It is an expensive endeavor for the divers have to be completely refigured to comply back to XP. Gee, I guess that son of a bitch sure planned this one out very carefully. One more thing: there are many lawsuits pending right now including a class action one for his deliberate action of discontinuing XP with only 3 months notice. I don't have the exact information though. This is just something that I have heard from in other forums.

Vista is working fine for me and millions of other users and more people are switching to it every day.XP isn't going to be around forever, in a supported fashion anyway.You'll have to decide on a new OS sooner or later.

Now you have a shiny new system with no warranty and spent $$$ to void it.You must have money to throw away,I wish I did.Good luck.
Btw,my sister bought a brand new Dell three weeks ago with XP already installed with a warranty.I guess it depends on where you shop.
his deliberate action of discontinuing XP with only 3 months notice.

Where in the EULA does it set that timetable?

Vista is great, I have a 64-bit Ultimate myself. Seems like your new computer was a POS from the start. List your specs please and what brand of PC. Thanks.

Well, ok, I'm a died in the wool Linux user, but I just bought a new HP laptop that came with Vista Home Premium and it works just fine. No problems at all actually. I'm using it right now.

I will repartition and install Linux on it, because that's what I prefer, but Vista is working just fine for me at the moment. Perhaps it's a PEBKAC problem?

Just look at this picture, you can see how evil he is. Why else would you smile for a mug shot. ;) 
Also, make sure to look closely, I believe that's a "Zubaz" brand shirt. :LOL:

That's why it's a mug shot, Zubaz....He could only have stolen it from you. ;p

In truth? I got a hp with home premium on it and it works just fine. I wasn't too thrilled at the idea of switching to Vista, and had some fears about it and the bad press it was getting.

As the fella said to the folks on the 33rd floor on his way down, "So far so good!".

Have a really good weekend y'all!

Same here. I finally had the opportunity to try it out and I have to say I'm pleased with the performance so far. And I'm using it on a 3 year old Dimension 3100. No problems.

Right on Messiah1. I feel that not enough people are honest about admitting their own fears and shortcomings...which, in my case are many. I want to thank you for your honesty, especially considering your skills at skinning, and the respect so many here have for you.

hehe, I'm the first to admit my shortcomings...ask vStyler how many time I tell him I'm retarded for not knowing something.  :LOL:  If you can't laugh at yourself, you've got a serious problem. Ain't that right Zubaz?  :LOL:

Ain't that right Zubaz?
I beleive that laughing at you daily is good for everyone.  Further, I beileve that those of us who know Po' Smedley and count him as a friend have even more serious problems.



Lastly, vStyler is well aware of how retarded evreyone not him is.  Reinforcorcing it to him is redundant and wasteful of any energies exerted.
