Re: Have I mentioned I can't stand Vista?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Then use another operating system.

Okay, I really hope that there are some MS employees of some account reading this newsgroup, because I am going to vent my gripes so far after 60 days of use:

1. Networking: No can do at all on my Office network; Period, End of conversation! I have tried all the Troubleshooting suggestions and STILL cannot get the computers at my work to talk across platforms (XP to Vista and vice versa). Major impediment to our office upgrading any further.

2. File security: I have several games I transferred over from my XP system to my personal laptop, and some of the data directories are NOT in their proper place; instead they have been moved to a hidden directory that cannot be found by other elements of the respective games. The games running on my machine can find them just fine, the Computers that connect to my machine (when they can find my machine on the nonexistent network) cannot.

3. Admin Popups, even when I am already running as Administrator. Just another way MS can annoy the heck out of us.

And I thought Win98 was bad. I won't say this is the worse piece of C**P of software I have seen in 20 years of working with computers, but I would be hard pressed to think of anything that beats it. Microsoft should be paying us to run it on our computers, not the other way around. I finally got so fed up with it I haven't touched my brand new Vista computer in 2 weeks
