Re: VISTA with downgrade option to XP


To all of those that say try Vista first- I say- by all means do so but
not on your operational PC/Laptop since if you do not like it you will
pay a steep price in time lost and money wasted. I Have tried Vista, and
like some things, specifically its improved UI, BUT:

1. It's performance is simply unacceptable on my Lenovo 3000 N200 with
2GB ram. This is a dual core machine with enough ram!
2. I CANNOT get my N95 cellphone to work effectively via Nokia PC Suite
over Bluetooth- it is simply unusably slow (like 3 bytes a second! -
that is not a typo- not KBytes, just Bytes)- I have to use the USB cable
option (This was not a problem in XP)
3. I have MANY problems with networking
4. I get mysterious "Your system unexpectibly crashed, check the
problem next time you go online", but no answers are found.

BTW: I have all needed virus/firewall/anti-spyware apps in place and my
system is clean.

In summary- from my point of view this OS is simply not ready yet
:mad:... Unless there is a major problem with my laptop model, which
does not see to be the case from its technical specs point of view.

I am really frustrated because I have bought a laptop with good money,
only to find it less useful and less productive than what I was working
on a year ago, BUT I cannot downgrade without paying a handful to lenovo
support (buy XP Pro, bring it to them, and then pay them $100 for the
process which can take up to 5 business days!). I can do it myself, but
am too busy to do so. I am seriously considering moving to the Mac. (and
no- I am not a Mac gurilla warrior :) ), but I am so angry that if I had
the time and money I would take lenovo to court on this.
