Then it won't work for you. If you don't have time to learn to use a
computer, don't use one, same as if you don't have time to learn to
drive, don't drive, if you don't have time to learn to use a chainsaw,
join all the other one legged folks who didn't have time to learn.

Sorry, no sympathy here.
 
By your description Windows Vista is not right for you at this time
You do not have the time to do the necessary homework and yet that is
what must be done before an upgrade.

How many more times are going to try to sell that line of slop?
I told you... I bought a Vista certified motherboard that supposedly
passed Microsoft testing and it still didn't support SATA drives
correctly until 3 BIOS upgrades later. You must enjoy me painting you
as just another babbling MVP fool.
 
Luck probably had very little to do with it.
More likely your roommate knew how to control his computer.

Those that rely on luck for anything are setting themselves up for
failure.

Luck has nothing to do with it. It depends WHAT you use your computer
for. Many problems only show up under certain hardware/software
combinations. The chances of running into problems increases the more
advanced things you add. Thanks for proving MVPs are mostly clueless
Microsoft apologists that seem to enjoy cackling nonsense.

You shouldn't have to "learn" how to use a OS. Good ones stay in the
background and simply work. That so many people have questions about
how to use Vista is a sure sign it isn't very well designed.

You may need to learn how to use applications. Especially more
advanced ones the typical fanboy crown haven't even heard of.

Can't control your temper nor your foolish mouth can you?
This is exactly what we're talking about.
This type of insane, abhorrent behavior on your part.

Wrong! Like many knowledgeable users have said, Vista is not
XP+eye-candy. It is a new OS and things are not where they were in XP.
There is a learning curve.

You clueless putz, there is no we, your feeble attempts to police this

Damn, you're some world class idiot. The whole concept behind Windows
is you learn it once, you should be able to run any Windows
application or understand any version of Windows. What trips up
dummies like you is you general intelligence is so low you haven't
learned how to use Windows and you still don't know how. I learned how
back in the 80's. Sure, Vista moved a few things around, renamed
others and added a few useless things like UAC. Still, it's the same
old Windows and works like it always has. There isn't anything to re
learn, just a few things you need to relocate or learn the new name
of. Big deal. Took me five minutes. As you said Frank it took you six
months and you still don't get it. So who's the real dummy?

Your concept of what makes an "knowledgeable" user and my concept is
obviously very different.

Only for idiots. Thanks for confirming that's what you are.

"supposedly passed Microsoft testing" Do you think the manufacture sent it
to Microsoft and Microsoft tested it?
Sounds to me like the manufacture just stuck that sticker on the box.

Exactly! It is supposed to be built to the "tested and pre-approved
specifications".
Adams to dumb to comprehend just how manufacturing actually works. Also
he hates MS and takes any opportunity to slam them...right or wrong
makes no difference to him.
He also fancies himself a "genius" with an iq of 170. Only problem is he
heard them wrong. What they actually said was..."we've got one with an
iq of 70, not iq of 170".
But we've all figured all of the out long ago. His problem is that he
has yet to figure it out.

With all due respect, sympathy from you or anyone is about the very last
thing I need or care about.

I simply don't have time with something that asks me FIVE friggin times
via various prompts at random times if I want to install my application!!
YES!!! I Clicked YES the FIRST TIME!!! I was *NOT* kidding!!! I don't need
to be asked 4 more times....(UAC being beyond annoying).

Not to mention that crap like that makes it impossible for me to just
start an install and walk away....I actually have to babysit it. I wonder
how royally things would get ****ed up if I said "no" to one of its random
prompts in the middle of the install process.

Seeing how the buttons are next to each other with not even a single pixel
border in between them, accidentally clicking the wrong one wouldn't be
all that hard....

Throw in hardware incompatibility with high end up to date hardware,
some of which is Microsofts own hardware...

Throw in software incompatibility primarily with Microsofts own software
(the only software I got incompatibility warnings from Vista about was
literally MS' own software).

Taking minutes to *move* a file on the same disk which should not take
more than a few milliseconds.

That has little to do with homework. It has everything to do with a piss
poor product that isn't worth the DVD it comes on.

The UI changes, while annoying...I don't really care about. I don't really
care where I need to click as long as the thing I need to click on is to
be found.

And before anyone comes with their "Check hardware first comment", the
only thing I could possibly upgrade on my system is my processor from a
dual core to a quad core. Anything else on my system I could pretty much
only downgrade....and I sure am not about to do that to make an OS happy.
Especially not when there are other operating systems which can work with
all my hardware out of the box without me needing to resort to beta
drivers...

I suppose Vista is fine for those who get it spoon fed to them on a
pre-installed system with no needs beyond windows mail, minesweeper, and
MS office with it's little ribbon!

But beyond that....

I still have ME running fine on a couple of machines.
Properly prepared & maintained, ME worked fine.
Too bad Vista has what I consider to be the 'defects' programmed in on
purpose.

I think he's trying to suggest that users who "Did" have trouble with XP
must be somehow deficient themselves. Also there seems to be a
suggestion that users having problems the much publicized new OS are not
smart enough to learn how to use it and therefore shouldn't have bought
it. I don't personally remember any TV ads saying "Vista is only for
geeks", or "Don't buy Vista unless you have many hours to spare". In
fact "Wow" seems to suggest quite the opposite.

Strange...

Be careful what you assume.
Because if that is what you think I meant, you are wrong.

Indeed and that bugs me. It is ALWAYS the same suspects making the
same kind of wisecracks.

1. You didn't do research.
2. Nobody forced you to upgrade.
3. Go back to XP.
4. That's a driver issue.
5. I don't need to (fill in the blank) because I'm smarter.

And my personal favorite, Vista isn't XP+ you need to learn it.

For a newsgroup who's primary purpose is to help people with problems
and for customers to discuss issues and even vent if they want there
are way too many prima donna types trying to tell us how clever they
think they are and they seem to enjoy starting pissing contests. Well,
bring it on, I got a bigger hose and it seems a few fanboys in
particular love to keep getting wet. Especially one named Frank.

Google clearly shows you are indeed a Putz. Nothing more needs to be
said since anyone not already familiar with you endless ranting can
check for themselves.

Hell man, you don't even have the smarts to trim the portion of the
post you are no longer addressing. Justin never did either. In fact
everything that Putz did, you do. How interesting.
Try harder mr genius.

Nobody has to try harder to make you look like an ass. You do all the
heavy lifting yourself.
