anyone have windows vista?
 
...cause it sucks. i just uploaded the upgrade cause i was bored and this thing is so hard to use. i am yet to see any benefits, only programs that don't work and much slower performance. are there any useful benefits?

btw- itunes does not work on this system. nor does my antivirus.

useful benefits? no. Only program incompatibility.

i have it, and overall its OK. its pretty buggy and i can tell that it was rushed. if you want to get it, wait about a year or so.

windows sucks big time. vista is another windows 98. except they fixed the usb support but you have to give up your programs working.

mac is the way to go :)

Vista has the instant search and 3D flip. those are about the only cool things in it. btw im a PC user and yes macs are much more stable and there faster. ever try to open 100 internet explorers? cause i can open 100 Safari and still use every other function on the computer

:shrug: not me

qwikz28 05-22-2007 05:07 PM

forget stability, macs are freakin too expensive for me to be carting around in school. besides, mac's customer support blows...

i agree that mac's are better, but they are just not worth it for me. vista is just extra suckage

shane27 05-22-2007 05:54 PM

all i know is im getting the Geforce 8600GTS and with vista its gunna be saaa weeeeeeeet!!! :D

qwikz28 05-22-2007 05:59 PM

ok... i figured out why vista was so slow for me. there is a switch for Normal, power saver, and high performance on teh bottom. i took it off power saver and problem solved :)

Frosty 05-23-2007 06:05 AM

The upper echelon Macs are definitely more expensive, but not much else comes close in terms of reliability and performance. The more consumer oriented Macs are priced in line (maybe slightly higher in some cases) with comparible PCs. But even still, you get the same software across the board, not 5 watered-down options. As far as customer support goes, who needs it with a Mac? :shrug: I've been a Mac user for close to 20 years, and have been managing prepress and creative depts. for at least the last 10+, and have never had to call customer support once.
