(MoC) Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well, post your opinion and vote. I think that vista sucks because of its poor RAM management, driver man, UAC, and n00b centered UI. I don't know, I'm scared of 7.0! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72340-who-thinks-vista-sucks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollcage Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 n00b centered UI I thought OSX's UI was supposed to be more simple than even Vista's. When most people want to complain about Vista's UI, they usually shoot for the high hardware requirements and complexity... And BTW, don't we have enough of these types of topics? If people have a complaint about Vista, they should just post in any of the other available topics. It's getting to the point of needing a "Vista Blows" sub-forum Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72340-who-thinks-vista-sucks/#findComment-512163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I don't like Vista, it is a well known fact. But haven't we had too many Vista debates already?

macgirl Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I like the visuals of vista, but the slowness is intolerable, it is slugish, a lot of programs shows "not responding", disconnection problems, high virus and spyware risks. It SUCKS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72340-who-thinks-vista-sucks/#findComment-512206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboldinu Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I think vista is extremely underrated, I've only tried it on a powerful system though....It used something like 40% of 2GB RAM idle. It's the only operating system I'd consider using besides OS X.

Oss-Seven-Point-Six Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Vista sucks, since a lot of the "new" features can already be copied or implimented in Windows XP. The Vista Expose clone, for example, has already been copied for XP, and it is even better than the Vista implimentation.

macgirl Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Just today 2 more annoyances, I was paying my phone bill online, the WiFi was disconnected just before I click on the pay button, and I don't know if the transaction was applied, just until tomorrow I will know. Then I tried to pay a credit card bill online, I opened several times the Internet Explorer (because the damn banks only accept IE as browser ) and crashed every time I open the bank site. Tired of that I started as Mac and ran the XP in Fusion, everithing was ok. Damn Vista I hate you.

thefinalprophecy Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 It's a ram hog. It would use up 1 gig of my 2 gigs of memory IDLE. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72340-who-thinks-vista-sucks/#findComment-513137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sipheren Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Vista is fine, I used it from day one and I never had any problems. I use OSX now simply because I like UNIX type OS's more then anything Microsoft has.

Azurael Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've installed XP alongside 10.5 and Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop, which came with VHP. Let's say I'm not regretting it, to say the least The machine is responsive under Windows again. Huzzah! Anyway, Alessandro17 is right, there's so many OS vs. OS threads in this forum we could drown in them. Why don't we talk about something else for once?

Numberzz Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Yeah, it takes up all of my 4 GB IDLE. When it's idle the processor is at 100%, BOTH OF THEM. When I move a window with the Aero UI, my computer explosdes.

Azurael Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 It's not at all fine if you're computer literate. It's one of the most illogical OSes I've ever encountered in operation... Most of the 'change for the sake of change' which seems to have gone on in Vista's UI makes functions far less obvious than their XP counterparts. About the only thing that's easier for n00bs with Vista is installing it.

A Nonny Moose Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I like it from a teacher's POV, in that I can lock out students from installing useless {censored} (i.e. the smiley pack that contains a virus) from the systems via their user accounts. To be fair, this is something OS X has had for a long time.

sandmanfvrga Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Wow Robotskip hasn't thrown down in here yet..... Azureal is right. It not logical in some ways the OS is layed out, buggy, resource hog..... hell, I am not going to list it all out. I think it does suck and sad that SP1 is still a ways off and from the reports, the speed of the OS isn't increased.

Paranoid Marvin Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Vista is a marginal improvement on XP. Buuut, that doesn't say much The 32bit version is ok, if a little dodgey with some games. The x64 version uses so much RAM, but I think it's a little faster. However, both versions lose me about 15fps on Sim City 4, which makes a lot of difference on a GMA950. I would say it crashes a lot with my games, but XP does that too Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/72340-who-thinks-vista-sucks/#findComment-513918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 I just wanted to verify if i was crazy or something.

~pcwiz Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I don't like Vista (I used to absolutely hate it but that was probably because I used an annoying Release Candidate version for a while) For many reasons. The few things that are good about it: 1) Nice interface (although RAM hogging) 2) Good for newbie users to start with 3) Compatible with lots of hardware 4) Lots of data loss prevention techniques 5) Good start up time (atleast in my opinion) The final release version is much better than the Release Candidate version (which is what I have) but its still not exactly as stable as XP. I still haven't tried Vista SP1 so maybe that has some improvements in store.

robotskip Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 No, I'm a Vista FanboyWow, that's quite an unbiased poll you have there. Are you guys finished with your circle jerk? Can we move on now? Let me know when you guys are finished with your repititive "LOL VIST ASUCKS" threads, maybe than a decent, objective discussion will happen without things like M$, winblowz, and so on appearing. But hey, if you guys are content with your silly threads like this, fair enough. Each to his own, kind of like how you have that small group of people who are in to bestiality and child pornography.
