    Vista is gay

    I cant use Photoshop! (In case you dont know this is like chopping off my..)

    Vista is now taking up 99% of my physical memory. (1GB) And for some reason wont recognize my ReadyBoost Cache drives. I.E PSP(4GB) PNY Attache Flash Drive (2GB).

    It used to recognize em before and now Vista went all gay. Probably should have taken this to the bitching thread....

    I got to the end of like 5 sigs today all of which I ended up losing at the end either due to complete Operating System freeze up cause my physical memorys all the way up past 99% or I simply cant save due to lack of memory. Pissing me offZ!
    Don't believe in yourself, believe in me, who believes in you.

    I highly suggest reverting back to Windows XP until you can get a major memory upgrade. Vista was released way too early. You have to have a top of the line machine for it to work properly (even then it sometimes doesn't work). Bleh.. I'm getting a mac when I have the money. My sympathies about your computer problem.

    I suggest reverting back like Sasori said, but to not upgrade back to vista for several years... I do that every new windows.

    currently I use a hack called win xp lite.

    Well... aside of being free of most crap I never used on XP Pro... I only have 256 RAM and my machine never passes half the RAM used.

    Windows XP Lite only occupies 1GB of my HDD.

    Although I haven't really pushed the machine to its limits, like Lucifus for example, it has worked very nicely ever since I got this hack from a friend. I formatted and he gave me the disc to install this version.

    Do you think you could give me a summary of what it doesn't have compared to Windows XP?

    Sadly no. I never kept track of what the original XP had... I just noticed the great decrease in use of system recourses, and that it only occupied 1GB.

    You can also run a bunch a tweaks to the reg to get XP running great on any system. Some changes are surprising simple that most just never do

    I have the edits on my jump drive that use for cilent's computers at work, If anyone wants it give me a PM and I'll see what I can do

    I've tested vista enterprise edition on two fairly high-end machines. Very displeased. Numerous bugs in place, numerous misfeatures, a lot of very bad choices, and it's a freaking pig.

    I, too, advise you to reinstall xp and go back to some sort of sanity.

    I havn't actually tested vista myself yet, will get to do that soonish through work. However I've yet to hear anything really positive about it (Other than it looks good - which doesn't count).

    Personally I don't intend to move to it unless forced to (I'm a PC gamer and windows has the lions share of the market as far as games built for PCs go).

    And for anyone with a spare 2 hours here's an interesting article on the antipiracy measures built into vista:
    Article

    Makes me like the prospect of moving to vista even less.

    What kinds of tweaks? I don't really need it, but I have about 512 megabytes of RAM if I'm not mistaken. It's fine, but anything to make my computer run faster could be useful.

    I have Vista on my laptop (C2D, 1 GB, GMA950) and no problems so far. Everything I use work fine (including Photoshop). Even Aero is perfectly fine even though I'm using really crappy integrated graphics. So no, it doens't take a super high-end machine to run Vista in all its glory.

    Also, it's not a memory hog. It's just SuperFetch precaching your programs. If it was really the OS taking up all your memory then you'd experience severe slowdowns whenever you open new programs, but I'm sure that's not the case, right? And don't even both with ReadyBoost, it doesn't do much unless you're starving for memory (256/512).

    Vista rocks. I finally reinstalled it today. Everything is so much smoother than XP.

    my first impression of vista was not very good. I got it installed on my media center computer in my room (vista-lite) its alot more streamlined than xp and i like the way it looks.

    however, i cant really talk about the whole vista is gay topic because i'm not trying to do anything extreme on this computer, its only used to view anime / movies so i haven't run into any problems at all; aside from needing to activate / crack sometime in the next 4 weeks :X

    OK... I installed this morning and had to wait until i got home to play with it. Have been on the computer for little over 2 hours and i dont think im going back to xp. Vista seems to be flying through everything, some of the layout is going to take adjustment but its awesome. I ordered a new vid card today which hopefully will complement vista nicely. i will note though, that right now my ram is at 38% and all i'm running is firefox but no biggy.

    Recently installed Vista with my new comp too, felt a bit lost at first but i've started to get used to it and it's getting better and better. There's still some things that annoys me though, so far the biggest downsides has been Vista not accepting my overclocking for some reason, some programs are still malfunctioning and my 3dmark06 score dropped with over 1k from windows xp : <

    I read an article saying that lots of proffessional do not want to swithc to Vista after trying it, even large companies.
    This article was also stating that Vista was a sort of remake of Windows ME...
    Oh, and next gen M$ OS is due in 3 years, which seems to give credit to the Windows ME like OS for vista...
