I have Windows Vista
« on: January 02, 2011, 11:18:09 AM »
and my computer has never crashed. It is still amazingly fast and Vista is probably the most consumer-friendly OS available.
I saw a slight haze in the hotel bathroom this morning after I took a shower, have I discovered a new planet?

Don't provoke Parsifal, please. That is called trolling. Very unbecoming for a mod.
How dare you have the audacity to demand my deposition. I've never even heard of you.

Posting anything computer related provokes Parsifal.

I used Windows Vista when it was in RC.  I had very few problems, if any, with it.  Also, as annoying as the security pop-up requiring root access for running programs is, disabling it is pretty easy.

Disabling UAC is not that great of an idea, even if you're a pretty responsible computer user.  Still, it's not anywhere near as annoying as having to input your password even ten seconds in something like Ubuntu.

Vista is not as good as Windows 7 and is quite unreliable in my experience (certainly compared to XP). Not bad, but not good.
Always check your tackle- Caerphilly school of Health. If I see an innuendo in my post, I'll be sure to whip it out.

It's a resource hog, though, and without any reasonable justification for being one.

Many would say the same about you.

Please stop with personal spats. Back to Vista talk.

Vista will never be as bad as Windows ME.

I hated it.

Vista is generally fine if you have the resources for it. I prefer 7.
You don't want to make an enemy of me. I'm very powerful.

>implying anyone but noobs actually does that
>implying you can't easily disable it if you really want to (but just as with UAC, it's a pretty bad idea)
I'm going to side with the white supremacists.

Also, in Windows, the default way to set up the OS is to make the user an administrator, making the OS vulnerable if you disable something like UAC. In most Unix-based OSs, the normal user account is set up next to a superuser account.

how long have you had it configured that way? how can you justify your claims? why should we take your word for it?
