I have a friend who builds and services pcs etc and apparently vista is the modern version of windows millenium... a load of pants. He told me it is so bad that if you buy a new pc with it on you can actually buy a copy of xp from microsoft for £20.00 and install it on your new pc. It must be bad if microsoft even recognise and admit problems with it.
Rubbish, Windows Vista is the most reliable windows ever, XP was swiss cheese the moment it got out, only now that all the holes have been plugged it's fine. I've been running 64bit Vista since the beginning, and it's much faster then XP, and more reliable. It has actually gotten better and better with every update.
Now Windows ME, was really....I mean reaaaally bad.
Yes you do need a faster PC, thank goodness for technological advance, otherwise we'd still be stuck with Pentium 1's. People who think Vista sucks simply have no clue. I've been in IT a long time, and this was the same when XP came out, or when '98 came out for that matter. Everyone stuck to win2000 saying it was faster, sure it was in the beginning, but then XP got better and better. Vista is already miles ahead then XP was in the beginning. Vista is fine. People don't like change, or don't like to buy a faster PC, that is the problem.
