I still think that Vista sux.
« on: 25 October 2007, 21:33:39 »
New laptop, not cheap, try to print boarding passes, doesn't work even with Vista drivers from manufacturer, now won't let us print boarding passes from another computer because you're only allowed 2 tries, POS.

Try to copy files off onto USB stick, doesn't work.

Useless brick.  >:(

I'm dreading HAVING to upgrade, as we all surely will.

And what about the likes of schools? How will that work when they're all supposed to be able to network, some on XP, some on Vista :-/

I thought they networked together OK?  My issues have been USB drivers, lots of USB drivers.

Yeah. Sure, Theo. I'd have thought USB drivers would be OK too. That's what they tell you, innit?

I'm starting to like the look of MACs. I wish I had the confidence to just go out and buy one. :(

Well no, because the drivers aren't Microsoft.  Microsoft is incredibly blind to the fact that although most people use Microsoft they also use a lot of devices and programs from other companies so when they do a change that causes incompatability issues on a massive scale and then force you to buy Vista instead of XP they make computers running Microsoft severely handicapped.  Funny, Macs now do everything and Microsoft has the restrictions that Macs used to have.  :-?

I've had an Intel Mac Mini for almost 18 months.  It works quite well.  Pain to reboot to do Windows stuff, but still it does it in one computer.  From tomorrow Macs will work much more like Microsoft and be easier to convert over to using.  That, FF3, and Open Office and I might not need to reboot into XP very often!  :y

Macs are specifically for people that aren't computer geeks.  Watch this, although it is a bit boring.

i have been running vista ultimate from when it first came out. Never had a problem!

Runs much better than xp imo and yeah its memory hungry but just add an extra 1gb over what you would run xp on and thats it.

Macs are good , just not as software ready as windows.

Thanx Theo. That looks like it might take a while. I'll have a good look later. :y
