Just thought people with Vista might like to know.

Its not just Vista, it could be any Windows OS.

Vista is shit considering that it eats the fuck out of your cpu and ram for no reason.


I know that eventually the security issues will be ironed out like they did with XP and 2000 but you can't iron out a shitty idea like that.

Article says it could be, but Vista is the only confirmed target as of now.

As if hardware incompatibility and general glitchiness wasn't enough.

At times like these I'm glad I live an area where people still sacrifice their firstborns and participate in battles to the death. I could probably become king of the villagers if I showed them my magic box that can summon pornography at any given time.

Old, but still funny.

 Macintosh's Ardagent.app exploit is very similar to this, it's just alot easier to fix. Vista was cancerous from the start, I wouldn't count on a service pack making it the next XP.

And what I find funny is that although everybody's wailing and spluttering about how terrible Vista is, I've used it as a highly stable and enjoyable OS since the beginning, some quirks aside.

If it hated some of your hardware you would have a rather different experience.

Vista's been good to me, although a bit hard to navigate when you need to install/patch a program, and it making me much slower then to what my specs says it should be .

Was Windows Vista not a virus to begin with? You can't make a hole holey-er.

Windows is an anti-hole. The more shit you shovel in the deeper it gets.

Vista is slowly growing on me...

At first I wouldn't consider putting it on any PC of mine, but it is getting better with time.

My next machine that I'm building will be Vista Business ed, and I'll have VirtualBox installed with virtual machines for XP/Ubuntu/Backtrack 3/(Dare I say some Mac OS just so I can say I have it).

The main reason I'll be moving to Vista is to take full advantage of my hardware. XP cannot take advantage of the 8 Gigs of ram, for example.
