REM2000 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Vista on launch did have some bugs that really hampered it launch and put me off using it. File copying bug and the network / audio bug. Also memory usage was very high. Vista was pretty much fixed by SP1. Windows 7 was a much better release and is really what Windows Vista should have been, i know that Vista was built on new technology but first impressions last for a lot of people especially when a lot of people use their computers for work.

Renshaw Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 If i'm honest, I never had a issue with vista but i've not had it long really so i think they've fixed all the issues, Yet i remember XP when it first came out, It died about every three daysish and had to reinstall about every two months for first year. Untill its became a little bit more stable. Although i've taken advantage of the free upgrade offer for 7 so at somepoint it should turn up at my house so then i'd have more of an opinion andeemac2006 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andeemac2006 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I was one of the Unlucky people with a HP PC with OEM everything,, my Seagate 7200.11 drive got the Firmware "go to sleep affect" and didnt have a PC for a month,,, and I have to say Seagate gave me eventually a new 500 gig drive,, I got the Vista Premium 64 Re-Install disks from HP with some sort of Supplementary disk along with the 3 normal disks:: and after Installation of Vista sp1 I Immediately installed Vista Sp2 ,, and my PC is working better than when I got it new !!!!!!!!!!!,( I wonder what is on the Supplementary disk ) If anything I prefer Vista Premium than Win 7 ,, I have read and read about the new Features in win7, but I for one havent found any new Feature that makes me go "WoW " really not One. Vista had the Aero skin from the get go nothing new there, if you went from XP directly to Win7 you might have a false opinion on Vista ,,,, 80% of Win 7 is Vista::::: Load up Commodo Firewall and Avast 5.0 Anti- Virus ( both free) and all is well,, and remember the saying "If it isnt Broke dont fix It " By the way love your forum format one of the best I have encountered .. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
