Aqua-Soft ForumsMy review of windows vista.
What a bunch of crap.
Looks like you gave yourself a bit of a hard time there Hobbes. Lighten up...drink some beer and start again.
yeah, sounds like hobbes has a p.o.s. pc and a stolen vista key. also, this is prolly a review of pre-rc1. seriously, i got like 2 paragraphs in and had to stop. there's always gonna be someone who has trouble with even the simplest things cuz their pc has been modded like crazy. i've installed vista rc1 on three different systems without any trouble. go figure...
Not sure what you mean by p.o.s, but it was the beta 2, and my pc wasn't modded like crazy. It was
a completely stock laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600, a 2.0 ghz Athlon-XP, 512 MB of ram,
and a 60 GB hard drive. Its not exactly the latest hardware but it should run any PC-compatible OS
that exists today without any problems whatsoever.
ah, well, right off the bat...yeah, beta 2 takes a while to install. find yerself a copy of rc1. it installs in 20 minutes (p4 2ghz, 503mb, 64mb intel graphics). everyone hated beta 2. try rc1, i think you'll be happy (or at least, less p1ssed).
I had to stop reading it about halfway through.
First, it was Beta 2... install sucked major on that one.
Second, your video card does not truely support DWM, hence your display issues.
Third... extremely biased and very childish approach to a review.
I had to stop reading it because of the total closed minded approach you took.
Fanboy is an understatement...
Its actually better than you think. I prefer it over XP, but still not mac. I like it though...I think I will still work on both mac and pc..not just on one computer type...in this day and age its hard to work on one computer type...windows is still the dominant OS...and I think it will remain to be that way for quite sometime..it will be too expensive for small and some larger companies to transition themselves from a pc to a mac...even if the mac mini is cheap..and the imac too.
Not sure what you mean by p.o.s, but it was the beta 2
Perhaps you can enlighten me as to why you'd choose to waste your time (and our time) writing a review about a build that is 4 months old? Seriously, why bother?
As everyone else has already said, you wrote a painfully slanted review about a very outdated build and therefore the entire review is just useless.
It was more of an all out b*tchfest than a review. Your opinion though, and thanks for sharing. I couldnt get beta 2 installed on my box (P4 2Ghz, 500 MB, 128 MB Graphics) either. Maybe i'll try RC1 one of these days.
Someone is not up to date. Why didn't you write a review of Win 3.1?
