Seriously... All this FUD-inducing babble from the most UN-trusted sources is actually conning people into believing Vista is as bad as windows Me.... Ok look, Vista has its problems, but it does NOT bluescreen every 30 mins like Me did.... therefore its at least better than Me. QUIT POSTING THESE FRIGGIN ARTICLES! They're all written by a bunch of techie wannabes who barely know how to get on the internet. Cnet, Paul Thurrott, INQUIRER, etc.... They're the LAST people we should be listening to about what's good and what's not in the tech world.

FTLOG people.... Vista is here to stay.... get over it.

No, I think he means the ones on other websites.

Gizmodo has a story on the GUI of Windows and Mac OS

and hey, I've been using Vista since March on my Desktop and still running Vista on my Laptop and it's great. I like it.

All you can do is switch to Linux or use XP.

I'm not, because I find them hilarious. An opinion piece gets posted, written by some random schmoe on the internet, which in turn gets linked by another random Neowin schmoe and posted as "backpage news", and all hell breaks loose. Mainly because every random schmoe posting in said thread thinks that the handful of people in his circle of friends represents the opinions of the world at large.

I've personally encountered three types of people when it comes to Vista;

Those that have used it and are indifferent or like it.

Those that have used it and dislike it.

Those that dislike it, but only thru word-of-mouth from crap editorial pieces that get posted all over the net as news, and have no personal experiences with Vista themselves.

By and large, the third group is the one I've most encountered. I give no opinion either way, but merely state that I use Vista, and that I don't think it's as bad as it's made out to be. THAT'S AS FAR AS I GO. They'll figure it out on their own if they want. I'm not placed on this planet to be a free spokesperson for a product or service...I just wish some of these children bickering in threads would realize that as well.

I do agree with what you're saying...I've been running Vista all year and have only just reformatted last week due to some codec issues and RAdmin software which was refusing to run (after having run for over 6 months). So apart from that, it's flawless on my pc.

IF you dont like, then why are you reading them? Simply move on with your life and pretend you never read them because all your doing is spamming for wasting your time...

You don't have to read them to see all the headlines... it's quite annoying.

I find Vista on older PC's useless, but on new systems its great.

I do get a little tired of systems bashing (check my ps3 bashing thread https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...=0&start=0)

vista just needs time

Why cant people just use whichever OS they like and not make news of it?

They need hits on their blog to justify their existence.

Like ColdGunner and many others have stated, it needs time. Looks like Apple's fabled Leopard needs some time as well, nobody is bashing that to death though. It would be interesting to see if the Vista bashers out there wrote some WinXP bashing articles when it came out.

Windows Vista is the greatest OS Microsoft ever made, it's not their fault if people use software and hardware from the 90s, technology evolution wont stop for them.

Vista isn't the problem the companies that make the drivers, they are sub-standard. I'm running vista on two laptops and they running great.

Vista has its flaws, as any OS does. The problem is that the beta got leaked to "joe public". teenage kids with the "I will upgrade top this beta because its new and thus makes me cool". All these people not knowing how the Beta testing system is meant to work, put out a negative feeling from the start.

Now when you read 80% of Vista articles, they STILL hark back to these negative issues. They are written by people who have jumped on the "Anti-vista badnwagon".

In fairness, nobody will read a blog that says "I run vista, and um, yeah - nothing to report really - it just sorta works!"

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,

      Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
