Prescription Meds For Vista Sleep Disorder

Arnold O'Connor writes "NeoSmart Technologies has compiled a list of hotfixes and patches provided by Microsoft for Windows Vista that address a large number of issues related to waking/resuming a Vista PC (both x86 and x64) from sleep or hibernation. Sleep-related disorders have plagued Vista since its release, though they were not present in earlier betas. Most of these fixes are due to be included in Windows Vista SP1 — codenamed Fiji."

    There is no such thing as "x64." Please quit butchering the use of computer terminology. You might think slashdot editors could catch something like that.

  3. Vista fried my harddisk while suspending by EdSchouten · · Score: -1, Troll

    I haven't used Windows lot lately, but when Vista got released I (legally) downloaded it from my school's website and installed it on my machine. I tinkered around with it. When I was done, I pressed Start -> Shutdown, which caused the machine to suspend. The machine immediately woke up when it entered its sleep. After a few seconds, smoke came out of my system and my only ATA disk in the machine caught fire. I suspect that the on-board JMicron ATA controller can't properly handle suspend actions... Well, never mind. I bought a new S-ATA 300 disk and now everything is connected to Intel ICH-8 stuff. Too bad Vista doesn't handle AHCI properly, because now my disks run at S-ATA 150 when I boot Linux/FreeBSD/whatever.

  4. what hype? only hype is the /. vista-whining hype by boombaard · · Score: 0, Troll

    honestly, i hardly see any uncritical articles on vista anywhere.. where is this hype /. seems to feel the need to react against?

    Sure, Straw Men are nice and easily torched, and i don't doubt my responding to this nonsense won't do a bit of good either, since another 400 articles on vista's issues will necessarily be popping up after this one..

    But really, what's the point in writing hundreds of comments with exactly the same content over and over under every article uncritical /. editors let through, as long as it's critical of vista?
