Vista was actually a good OS. I had it for 4 years on a Gateway PC that was made to handle it before I got my HP envy in 2014 for Christmas.
I lol'd.

That comment about Piss-ta made me think of something funny. What if Microsoft actually made a OS and actually named it Piss-ta ?

It was a case of hardware not being prepped for software really. WinME on the other hand was a real stinker...I also had Vista and it was perfectly fine.

I ran it too and it was actually decent after SP1 and solid after SP2. It looked beautiful too and easily the best looking interface I've seen on a Microsoft OS, with that black glossy wow factor look. I miss it.
Unfortunately performance was never really that good, even after SP2.

How is that Microsoft's problem? I still remember how people were bitching over constant Vista BSOD's. And when I've requested photos of these BSOD's in 90% of cases it was nv*.sys driver that was causing them. How is that Microsoft problem when NVIDIA driver was pissing all over the OS?

Hey guy's I'm finally almost ready to go W10 waiting on 6700k chips... So I was just wondering has Microsoft changed/fixed this annoying Maintenance running in the background?
Happens all the time on my PC sends my Disk to 100%. slows everything down.

Did I say it was Microsoft's problem?
Either way, it was Microsoft's problem because the consumer perceived it to be. That's how these things work. It wasn't however, their FAULT.

I nearly spit my coffee out it was so funny!! And so true....it's the most non-intelligent messaging from an OS ever. Funny because it's true!- Retarded and very non-informative update messages, a-la "Windows is making some stuff - go eat a sammich", "We've installed some new cool features, which we won't name or list",
