Why does Windows Vista suck so much????

I don't know why it sucks. But I have it on my laptop. Not the desktop though. I use the desktop to type everything up. I hate the new microsoft program that came with the laptop as well. And if you email an attachment to someone who doesn't have the newer word, they cannot open it.

Have you checked your internet connection settings and configuration. You can call your ISP helpdesk and check if there is something you missed out on your connection settings. From what you have described I think there is something amiss there. Something is telling me you have not setup correctly.

Windows Vista is very different from the previous operating systems that Microsoft have released, which is why so many people find it difficult to use. Vista is actually a very good system, but you need to spend the time to become familiar with the differences between Vista and Windows XP.

I've had Vista since last May and it does take some getting used to. I'm very disappointed in it, but have managed to make it work. Your problems can both be fixed if you keep trying and don't get impatient. I had both those problems too, and I got them fixed but I can't remember how I did it. My main complaint is that Vista Basic is very slow especially when your starting up.

I remember vista didn't recognize my Ipod and I need to install some driver to be able to install it.. I spent months to find that driver thank God it worked.. =)

Ic, i also heard rumors of windows vista not being good as windows xp...so i stick with windows xp...conclusion before we buy or install another OS we should check out what other users commented about it. we must not just listen to people in Microsoft when they release a product, coz they will sugar coat it...if you eat it...you will get tooth decay ^_^ lolz

No I don't have Vista and at the sounds of things I do not want it I have heard a lot of People complaining about it I don't know why they have to keep updating it is so stupid I hope you will get it sorted

Well, it's a habit that Microsoft finds hard to give up.It's a repeat of what happened when XP was released the first time and they had to work on it to clear the bugs.Thankfully, I read the tech forums before deciding to make the switch from XP to Vista.There's a service pack arriving today that people can download from Microsoft's website .Here's the news piece :http://www.mylot.com/w/newsarticle/686820.aspx

This happened to me all the time when I first got my laptop with Vista too. I don't know what my husband did to it but it doesn't do it anymore. I hated the fact that a lot of the programs online and off are not compatible with Windows Vista yet. I liked XP much better but I have been using Vista for a year now. I hated it when I first started using it and I don't love it now but I am used to it.

I agree with you. Vista does suck. It gives more problems than an active six year old child.

I hate my Vista too. I dont know why they suck but they are horrible. My printer used to work fine with the Windows XP, all of sudden my printer had an error and was not working. My DSL line stop working too I had to delete all files and reload my disc for the internet lines all over again. It is too complicated that it wipes or blocks others too.

I have Windows Vista on my desktop and it works fine. I did however have to install XP onto the laptop because I did have the the recommended 2Gb of Ram. It was crap on the laptop. But like I said my desktop works fine, it has 2Gb Ram and a dual core processor. The reason it is not working in some instances is becasue its a new OS. When I say new I mean alot has changed between XP and Vista. XP was just a nicer looking Windows 98 with a few extra addons. With Vista Windows is trying to make the OS more secure by using some of the ideas from the Linux OS. Vista will get better. I think MS makes an OS then send it out, makes Dell sell the OS and thats how they troubleshoot the OS. I don't think they spend much money or time doing that in office.

I upgraded to Vista few months ago and had nothing but problems. The security features blocked me from doing everything and my computer went really slow. I think it looks more modern than XP, but at least XP works well. I wish I hadn't upgraded.

you have to go into settings and select do not use a dail up connection. I think it is set up that way by defalt

I am in contact with general public who use both xp and vista as OS and they come to me for getting their files printed in laser printer. I always encounter a lot of problems when the files are edited for some fine tuning display of the text. I was told by most users that vista is not a good OS compared to XP. I have not installed vista and hence only heresays.

I have Vista on my computer and so far (knock on wood) I haven't had any problems with it. But if I ever do, I have a friend that works on computers and he said he would put XP on here for me. I hope the problems you are having go away soon!
