Vista Ultimate 64 bit
I am running an Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83 GHz CPU with 4 GB DDR3 ram
with RAID 0 disks (2 ) .Whilst the speed of the machine is very impressive I am so disappointed with that junk operating system from MS (Vista Ultimate 64 bit). It is so buggy and stupid. I am going back to XP 32 bit. What a waste of money Vista is. Absolute crap |

It is so buggy and stupid. I am going back to XP 32 bit. What a waste of money Vista is. Absolute crap Can you be more specific about what is broken with Vista? The same programs that freeze and crash under Vista also freeze and crash under other versions of Windows. Firefox freezes and crashes in Linux as often as it does in Windows, except that, as always, it is easier to regain control of a Linux box without rebooting. The memory footprint of the OS doesn't seem like a big deal to me on a box with many gigabytes, which is why MIcrosoft apparently didn't worry about it. I wouldn't really recommend the XP downgrade to anyone because Microsoft says that XP is going to go away, and I believe them. My box has serious device driver problems with the graphics card. I gather that there are lots of device driver problems with Vista. The driver for the card is from last August and Device Manager insists that it is up to date. It's a new HP box, so, if I wanted to deal with clueless tech support, I have recourse that I don't intend to pursue, at least for now. Microsoft really blew it with Vista, I'll readily agree, but, as a practical matter, it seems like, either wait for Windows 7 (and any Service Pack 0 OS from Redmond seems like a bad bet to me) or live with Vista.

Of course it can't be that your hardware is crap, some drivers are crap, your software is crap or that any other of the thousands variables causes your problems. Who cares that Vista runs fine on lots of similar systems. It must be Vista. Benjamin |

Benjamin I have not liked Vista either, but yesterday I reinstalled the 64 bit home preimium version with service pack 1 and 2 and it seems now to run just fine. No problems encountered at all. But the original version right out of the box was just garbage for sure. |

Benjamin When I installed it it would not run word 2002 which was my chosen wordprocessor. It would run out of memory and crash. |

Vista Ultimate 64 bit
I got vista 64 running office xp Pro. no problem with word or any part
thereof. The only problem I have is with a tablet which the vendor did not make the proper vista driver for. I have usb drives, scanner all plug and play, also NVIDIA graphic card works like charm for dual display. I can even unplug one display when vista is running without hassle as long as I power off the display first before unplugging. Otherwise I would just have to put vista to sleep, wait for a second or two, wake it up and restore the dual display setting With Vista 64 I can run a lot more processes, application for longer duration for stability. The only thing I don't like at times is the uac thing but I got around some of that by adding permission before some of the changes "Lee Waun" wrote in message news:8bd_l.32526$PH1.16299@edtnps82...
