I disagree

HOLYCRACK'O'MOLYSHITFUCK

Yeah, new laptop is new... couldn't wait until October for Windows7 (or Windows Vienna?) because I need it 100% by 6am tomorrow.

Let me guess. You've been an XP user for ages and you just got Vista? It grows on you eventually although I do get the odd bug. Good thing I can reset my PC to the way it was before. Can't say the same for others. Poor saps.

Vista Home Premium's alright. No Aero/visual crud, just the useful technical updates like indexing, etc. Runs Hammer 3.5 too.

I got Home Premium, but I can't install a damn thing, I don't have previlages.
EDIT: Got it. figured out how to get into admin without too much hassle.

Anyone who says vista doesn't blow is wrong. reasons why vista blows:

Vista is too stupid to remember my folder view settings. Hell, i would make my settings for EVERY folder the same if vista would let me: NAME>TYPE>DATE MODIFIED, but apparently, this is too much for it to handle and there is no permanent fix. (xp was smart enough to remember my folder settings i don't get it)

Vista is a horrible system hog that brings nothing new to the table that i even remotely care about.

When i "mute all" some of my applications still spit out sound even though everything is supposed to be muted. The idea of having seperate volumes for each application is cool, and it actually would be cool if it worked right.

There are other reasons why vista sucks but i just can't think of any atm.

Some games/apps that don't work for me (windows home premium x64)
battlefield2142 doens't work
gta san andreas doens't work
virtual drive doesn't work
avs video converter doesn't work
lots of other games/apps STILL don't work. I should keep a log.

Rim, do a seperate journal showcasing your laptop i want to see too1 = )

By the way, vista was just a failure guys, And don't give me that "everybody hates the new stuff", i love windows 7, the latest, and still hate vista. Vista was just plain crap.

lul windows 7 is out you are beta tester?

Those apps you list must not be 64bit compatable, which is not vista's fault, Captain Terror.

I regularly play 2142, and used to play San Andreas.

aww sorry you're right. I actually found some people that got it to San Andreas to work on their x64 too but i haven't been able to make it happen..

I'm still downgrading to xp as soon as i get around to imaging my drive...

Im with you Rim, VISTA on my laptop now since november, and it really doesnt cut it compared to the flow in XP and doesnt add a bit. Definitely thinking about getting back to XP when/if i can get all the drivers.

look up your model number at notebookreview.com

2 weeks after my computer came out, i found a thread for my model number--gateway p-7811--that contained all the xp32 drivers! = )

Vista never ceases to amaze me. all the things i fucked with to get working... now don't work entirely. >;U

I had Vista on my laptop for 6 months, until I finally had time to install XP on it, and get the necessary drivers.

Running Vista on 1,5 Gb RAM was like running XP on 256 Mb. God, I hated it.

But now I have a nice XP working on it <3

Nice, i tried installing the ubuntu releases, but those werent supported either. Captain terror, il look it up, thanks!
