    "FRUSTERATING BEYOND BELIEF"

    by TANK3283 on February 13, 2007

    Pros: STILL LOOKING

    Cons: JUST TOO MANY

    Summary: FOR A NEW OS YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD MAKE IT EASIER. INSTEAD IT IS MORE DIFFICULT AND THE DARN THING DOES WHATEVER IT PLEASES. IF YOU MAKE CHANGES IT WON'T KEEP THEM. OUTLOOK DOES NOT WORK RIGHT, AND THEY ELIMINATED EXPRESS WITH SOMETHING NEW THAT IS A PAIN TO WORK WITH.
    I JUST DON'T GET IT, WHY SCREW WITH SOMETHING SO MUCH THAT IT CAUSES SO MANY PROBLEMS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO COMPLETELY CHANGE EVERYTHING TO MAKE SOMETHING BETTER, JUST WORK WITH THE PROBLEMS AND FIX THEM. NOT ONLY THAT NOW IT IS NOT EVEN COMPATIBLE WITH SO MANY PROGRAMS AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT IS ABOUT, ALLOWING US TO HAVE VERY FEW OPTIONS OR HAVE TO UPGRADE OTHER SOFTWARE TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA....THE TYPICAL SCAM!! I ASKED WHEN I BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER IF I COULD GET WINDOWS XP BECAUSE I WAS HAPPY WITH IT, BUT NNNOOOOOO WAY.

    I purchased a new HP PC with Vista three weeks ago and I could not be more pleased. Vista provided a driver for my HP printer. It is an all in one printer and will not scan from the scan button but it scans from within Vista. Vista also provided a driver for my NVidia graphics card while NVidia upgrades. I can make CDs and audio DVDs. I have everything in Vista I need including High Def TV on my digital monitor, a guide and a DVR that found and set up my cable companies signal. I have instant messaging and a built in spyware proigram. It came with a Norton Security 60 day trial that works flawlessly. What else does anyone need. If you are unhappy with Vista, format your HD and install a copy of XP but in my opinion one should move on and if the vendor does not upgrade then use the vendors that do. These complaints I hear are the same complaints I heard about XP and I was one of the complainers and look how well XP worked out. Paitence my friend. New technology comes with glitches but in the end Vista is sure better than the MS-Dos PC I once used!
