Ever notice fanboys NEVER have any real answers why Vista is bug
riddled?


You didn't answer the question.
Name a more stable OS.

That's called changing the topic. The issue isn't how buggy some
other OS might be, rather how buggy Vista is, a fact you and other
fanboys always attempt to deny.

Since you believe you are so smart...why is it that you use Vista ?

I explained why many times. I'll repeat my reasons again. The only
reason I suffer along with Vista's clumsy behavior is became of my
choice in Video Editors, Sony's outstanding Vegas which requires
Windows to run. If Vegas was supported on another platform (it
isn't, I looked) I would dump Vista in a heartbeat.

So I have two choices, either accept the torture I put up with daily
with Vista or switch to a Mac and use the equally excellent Final
Cut Pro. Since that costs almost four times the price of Vegas and
while equal in most areas, better in a couple that would require
buying a Mac, a foolish waste of money since all my current
software, a very sizeable investment adding up to many thousands of
dollars would become useless.

There's also Gamma issues (illustrated in below link) when viewing
images or video in Mac and Windows platforms.

While I naturally use a NTSC calibrated monitor when doing color
correction with Vegas capable of displaying real time changes, Mac's
are more clumsy.

Must be because it is the best thing out there.

Why aren't you using a Mac ?
You do all that video editing...and Macs are supposedly soo good at
that.

Supposedly. Not in reality. Mac users are mainly a cult following.
While Macs are "good" for video editing, the pro grade software
(Final Cut Pro) is excessively expensive compared to Vegas. Also
using either product at it's full potential requires a steep
learning curve that in some areas exceeds mastering Photoshop for
maximum benefit for still images. I already mastered Vegas, used it
for years, again, a huge time waste to repeat the process to become
expert at Final Cut Pro.

In all honestly neither Vegas or Final Cut Pro are the absolute
best. If money is no object AVID products are the de facto
"standard" for feature film editing of the Hollywood crowd, many TV
programs and commercials.

Yet you use Vista.

You say far more than you intend.

You don't use logic in your arguments. I'm noticed.


So Vista is the best bang for the buck. You choose it over other
availiable options...then gripe about it's inability to be perfect.

I've yet to see any software, hardware, conceived idea of man, to be
perfect.

The technology is what it is.
Millions of lines of code running with millions of lines of unknown
code running on thousands of combinations of hardware...run by
millions of people fiddling with different things. No general purpose
PC software will EVER be bug free. It is in all probablity
mathmatically impossible.

So you and others might as well accept it. It is the fault of the
Uncertainty Priciple applied at the human scale.

Oh...and in your last sentence...you typed "I'm noticed"....lol.

Before it gets pointed out...I misspelled probability and Principle.

And Vista's spell checker doesn't catch it ... POS software...LOL


You also misspelled "mathematically" and "available". Try Thunderbird.

Alias


LOL

Something must be wrong with Vista's spell checker.
I think this happened before ... forget how to fix it.

Pan works !
