no no no....i will not "test" this buggy thing anymore. i am tired of
non-stop-hdd-activity, unknown devices, slow performance. who needs a sidebar
with a childish clock when your system hangs? and i am talking about an
athlon 3000+ 64 cpu, asus board with dual channel support and 1024mb ddr ram
400mhz.
i don´t want bluescreens any more just because of trying to install a
"standart game controller"... i had my win95 times.
as i said...try harder.
this is really disappointing.
 
I'm sorry to hear that. You were doing great finding and reporting problems
to MS. Please reconsider.
 
Your experience looks like my first try with vista. I threw it away and
tried suse10.0 for a few days....nuff said! On the second reincarnation of
vista I spent more time watching the various warnings about software
incompatibilities and reading about other peoples ideas and suggestions in
this news group. Vista is different to XP, do you remember the shock of
using win95 after win 3.11? Well, we all have to start finding our way
around this new operating system. I am beginning to do that , and yes, I
like it very much indeed.
 
That's too bad that you are having an unpleasant experience Olli. I am
having just the opposite.
Vista is quite stable and speedy here and I have an older machine. A few
quirks here and there but I am pleasantly surprised!
I did a clean install.

I overall think that Vista is on the right track, but I don't think it's
quite as fast as XP yet, and WMP11 is extremely slow. (Although WMP11 on XP
is fine.) To put it in comparison, when I'm using WMP11 on XP, it would
take 4% to 7% of my CPU, but in Vista with WMP11, it takes over half of my
CPU - WMP eats some, DWM eats some (DWM eats more when WMP11 is running) and
mfpmp.exe is also eating some of my CPU. (DRM) The DRM thing is something
that definitely is not headed in the right direction, especially if it's
going to eat 15% of my CPU when running WMP11.
 
i will continue...but the main problem is the performance (ms has to work it
out) and the drivers (the manufacturers has to work it out). as i heard every
alpha and beta of vista became better and better and so i think it is the
right way...
thanks for your postings :-)
 
The Vista Beta is not some "free-of-charge operating system for your
pleasure" scheme you know. It exists SOLELY so you can find these bugs and
report them to Microsoft. You did report them all, right? Also did you read
and understand the "beta" word that is mentioned a couple of times around
the download site?
