It took a month or so for me to get used to it but once I learned all the added features and creature comforts I just fell in love with it....

I honestly cannot understand why you would have such a problem with it.. I truly believe it is a problem with your system, drivers, hardware or some software you have. If it runs slower than xp something is wrong and it is not Vista.... Vista is way faster than xp on both of my systems and I have tested it using various programs... It manages memory better and power too..

I would go over your system and try again. Format the harddrive and start clean. trust me, it is not Vista. Once you have it working correctly I bet you that you will not want to use any system without it... Man it is so awesome... networking, security..... everything....

Good luck though.. must be some incompatability somewhere...

Well Vista is great, but if you don't have plenty of cpu power and ram, then I wouldn't suggest using the Aero transparencies. On my machine everything runs great. The only problem I had at first was restricted download speeds. I'm not paying what I do on high-speed internet to have restricted and slowed downloads. Anyways, this was easily fixed with a patch I found highly recommended on the net. I have all the same great features of XP and then some. If any of you have tons of software installed on your computer than you might like the new organization of the start menu. It's uncluttered now.

I also haven't had any problems with games either. I have been able to play most games with max graphics and game performance.

I guess I'll wrap up and say Vista has been good to me so far, but who knows what will happen. It's new!

Microsoft is going to need some ice for that burn...

I'm waiting another 12 months then I will buy a new system with Vista pre-installed. That way I can take it back if I am unhappy with the speed.

Don't jump on the amd vs intel bandwagon either, I installed it on another AMD system last week and still, slow as hell.

Hail to MACS

So you're letting Leopard to age for a year before you "jump" and yet Vista has been out for less than 6 months and you're judging it before it really matures? Sounds kind of hypocritical.

On another note, I too think vista sucks. I have a 8800gtx, 2gb ram, but a celley (until the q6600 drops in price) and it's no where as smooth/responsive as XP, with and without aero (tried windows classic theme too).

Not to be a complete prick here, but first you declare:

So, I consider myself a computer expert and in this case, pretty much a Windows Expert, a definite POWER USER of computers.

Then you make statements such as:

I reverted BACK to Windows XP Pro. Going backwards sucked hardcore and was very difficult to do, took me hours.

Quote:

Intel Quad Core CPU (FOUR processors in one), not 2 but 4, there isn't a faster computer available right now.

.. which completely undermine your previous declaration of being "a computer expert". There's much more to building PC's than putting pieces together in a lego fashion. There's firmware upgrades, BIOS configurations, RAM timings, etc.

This is by no means a pro-Vista post, as I know better than to migrate to a pre-SP1 Microsoft OS and then complain about it. In the end, your post comes off as nothing more than pro-Macintosh propaganda.

Then I guess you're better than I am. LOL

Just to let YOU know, I don't own any MAC or APPLE products, only PC based systems.
