Some systems are better suited than others. Older computers also *tend* to
have more problems.

First to start tell the truth about your computer and not lie. A lot of
people do have trouble with their computers. My brand new Vista Based
Computer loses internet connection all the time and all I have to do is run
Diagnose and Repair to fix the problem and the problem is not my service
provider it is Vista so tell the truth. A lot of people have trouble with
screensavers not working and power options I know for a fact because last
night I did a reformat for a client and screensavers do not work and does
not go to sleep. I had to change some settings and turn off the Allow this
device to wake the computer in the Device Manager under Network Adapter
Properties to get the sleep options to work and the screensavers to work. So
where is the problem it is the manufactures and windows vista. Vista is a
good operating system and I like it better than Windows XP but once again it
does have problems and that is why almost a year later when Vista Service
Pack 1 came out they are going to release Service Pack 2. So do not worry
about other peoples problems with vista and mind your own business.

So there was some problem(s).

> Vista is working fine......

Same here. Almost two years, and it's been totally rock solid. Not a
single blue screen, not a single freeze. It runs 24/7 and the only time it
gets a reboot is when a Windows update requires it.

It's in heavy use every day, including the full suite of Office 2007 apps;
software development using Delphi and Visual Studio; video editing; audio
editing; graphics editing; technical drawing; Web development; plus all the
usual browsing, emails, and stuff.

Some of the applications have crashed occasionally (I can crash Word 2007
almost on demand), but not once has an application crash rippled through the
OS or any other apps.

Network file copying was abysmal in the early days, but that seems to have
been sorted out (though I use Directory Opus, so it was never a real problem
anyway).

To be fair, I was meticulous about making sure all the hardware was Vista
compatible before building the system. I think that was probably the best
thing I did.

I prefer the UI to XP, although there was undoubtedly some "change for the
sake of change".

If W7 will be as good or better, I'm really looking forward to it.

You are bang out of order there, buddy, and you owe the OP an apology.

He was reporting his own experiences, which are very similar to mine. You
have no grounds to accuse him of lying.

I would have to say my experience has been about the same with Vista
Ultimate 64 bit.
Installed in late Feb of this year - no blue screens, no crashes, no
apparent issues for me at all.

I do have fairly good hardware and made sure I had device drivers available
for all my needed periphs.

I set up my system to dual boot with XP Pro - did not take long getting used
to Vista and I was no longer booting into XP.

I have been very pleased.

From the little information you've provided, I can't tell you what the
problem is, but I can tell you that it's certainly not Vista. I have
two computers here, and have worked with many others; none of them
*ever* loses its internet connection.

You don't know something like that for a *fact* simply because it's
your personal experience. Once again, on my computers and the others
I've worked with, I've never seen such problems.


You say "a lot of people do have trouble with their computers." That's
certainly true, but it's by no means necessarily true that the reason
they have trouble is that they are running Vista. The single most
common reason people are having problems these days is that they are
infected with malware.

I haven't had any problems that I couldn't resolve.
After using it through BETA and into SP1, I just plain do not like the
interface.
MOST of the changes were just for the sake of change. I see no logical
reason for them other than to make it look different.
They claim better security & stability.
I didn't have (don't have) problems with either in XP amyway.
Those that like it are entitled to their opinion, but that won't make ME
like it.
Some people swore their Corvair/Edsel/Chevette/Cimmaron/Kcar was the best
car they ever had...
