The other thing that really gets me is they KNOW there is a major problem with this release but yet it's still there to download so some other poor sap can waste hours of their time when the computer craps out.

Nice MS, very nice.:nope:

Makes Vista look good ... I have Vista on three machines, plays games, surfs the web, even makes a nice way to make a living from writting.

But no way am I going to trust Vista Sp1 or Win XP Sp3 till the waves of negativity stop rolling in. :yep:

Ok so wait directly for Windows 7.
Vista is already tainted, nothing will save its reputation. :p

vista is useless,XP Sp3 is a waste of time come on MS

Bill gates sould get FIRED...NOW!:down:

Ok so wait directly for Windows 7. what if its crap too?

Hold on to Xp even beyond windows 7 ? :rotfl:
And then choose Apple or Linux/Unix :yep:
Really as far as I'm concerned I stop being a windows customer with XP.
Each successive release is crappier (not because of the ui though), has more draconian copy protection etc... I'm fed up and since I have no problem using open source software the jump to the other side won't be as traumatic as many people seem to think it is.

Edit : and here is another example why DRM infested Vista is just plain wrong : http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...rm-stinks.html

They must be kiding me :down: . It must be a bad joke. Testing service pack 3 on two pc`s. No Lan connection (transfer files from one pc to other) wtf ? I know very well how to do it on service pack 2 but its seems sp3 had a huge problem with itself, god damn it! I became angry and i just made a format on both comuters. However i search on the web about thise problem and guess what. According to some users information i only can made a lan connect if the two pc have a same configuration. I don`t know if thise is true thince i stick with sp2 now, but if it is - its idiotism for my opinion :down:. Sorry for thise long post and possible writing mistakes on the way.

Vista's Sp1 is fine. I think with winxp sp3 the devs just got lazy, winxp support is nearly over maybe they left sp3 with holes in it on purpose so users would get fed up and move to vista ;)

Sorry for the interuption. Sp1 fine, sp2 is also fine affter turning off all the unnesasery elements aspesially windows security senter wich is as useles as a uboat in 1945, no joke:down: .

How exactly? I don't have Vista yet.

Mysterious. Luckily, I didn't download it! Gates, Gates, Gates... what have we done to our OS empire, now? Can you not conceive and execute these simple processes without causing the entire bottom to fall out?:nope:

does anyone know how to tell what SP you are running in vista.thanks:huh:

If it's anything like XP, right click on My Computer and select Properties. It should be at the top under System.

Maybe MS is messing up Windows XP in order to make Vista look better? Would that increase their sales and prompt people to go out and buy Vista when they have to completely reformat their Hard drives?
