I have to point out that those experiencing issues with Vista are doing something terribly wrong. If performance is beyond acceptable or better than XP on my machine, with 2GB of RAM then there is no reason why those with 2GB or more RAM should be having the issues they are claiming to have.
If you're machine was purchased 3 years ago and you're sticking 2GB+ of RAM in that system, get a new machine. You don't expect your horse and carriage to take you to California in a day. Upgrade that SOB and get with the program or face reality. It's not Microsoft's fault you can't afford decent technology.
Anyone having performance issues with Vista is doing something wrong. I have 2GB of RAM on my machine and have absolutely no performance issues anywhere. I actually noticed an increase in the GUI's performance with Aero (and no noticeable difference in gaming).
I hear a lot of crap (and that is just what it is - crap) from a lot of Vista users about their performance. Some of which have more RAM than I do, but as I said it is crap. I have not change anything that would hinder nor increase performance in Vista. Everything is default from the initial install and I'm loving the performance.
So essential what you are saying is that a Microsoft OS turned AV into a way to create major profit, because Microsoft creates any and all that malware you encounter online and "allows" malware to "happen". Is that what you're saying? I seriously hope not, because that would make your comment yet another asinine incorrect misinformed comment which is the status quo of posters at Slashdot and the many other forums across the Internet.
That's right. Microsoft is behind all spam and malware. They fund it and everything as a way to create problems for themselves and make money with their, uh, free malware prevention (included with the OS or as an update).
Yeaaaa that's it. Damn Microsoft.
I really don't know where these idiots get their information of what seriously sorry computer they are running, but to say that Windows Vista needs 4GB to run optimal is crap. Anyone that makes that claim needs to stick with a calculator and leave computers to the experts, or at least those of us with an IQ higher than 40.
Windows Vista runs perfectly on my system with 2GB. Change the compatibility mode to Windows XP for a few games such as Oblivion and they run fine and dandy too.
Unfortunately the day will never come when idiots stop writing articles.
You're the only one that thinks level scaling is a good thing. Not many Oblivion players like this change in the RPG system. I know I didn't. Any real RPG player that doesn't spend most of his time on a Wii playing Tennis or gets his kicks playing old style Pacman likes the way the traditional RPG system works. It's fun starting off as a loser, that is what makes it interesting.
If you want to be a God from the start, turn on God-mode and STFU.

There are no errors whatsoever in my English. You may want to get a tutor. If you are referring to the word "virii", it is a known word. Not to dictionaries, no, but it is used frequently.
It sounds to me that you're the one crying wolf. Quit whining. Vista doesn't do as much to annoy you as you just claimed.
I have absolutely no issues whatsoever with Vista Ultimate at the current time. Then again, I am the one that ran XP with absolutely no virii, malware, performance issues or other problems whatsoever, unlike most people who can't seem to grasp how to use a computer correctly.
We download music online, because it is easily accessible and free. I personally would not pay for 95% of the music I have in MP3 form, so they would never have gotten any money from me in the first place. If I like the music enough, I will buy the CD, but most likely not for $20 a CD, unless it's one of my favorite 2-3 bands. If I had to pay for the rest of the music in my collection, I would do without. Period.
Outrageous. They obviously don't understand the feature Google provides.
Google is only providing a part of the article. They get free exposure from it.
People will bitch about anything. Including getting free money obviously.
Well, I mean, what do you expect really?
It's not that I don't agree with us going to Iraq or any of those things. I have no opinion in the matter. What really urks me about our President's and leaders are these things:
1. We pay taxes on a product every time it moves. When it is shipped from a factory it is taxed. It is also taxed when it is sold by the factory/maker to a wholesaler or other party that it is shipped to. The same thing happens again when the product is moved to a store. Then it is taxed yet again when it is purchased by us.
2. Lots of states have even higher taxes than others. I live in North Carolina where the fuel tax is what, 30%? It's something like 5% in some states.
3. We have billions, maybe trillions in tax money every year, yet kids in schools are forced to sit on rock hard chairs and use Windows 95 computers?
I say fuck this country. We would rather wage war than take car of our own. I'm all for taking care of everyone else, but were first in line.
When we have a candidate that can convince me that he will use all this tax money for something other than his personal yacht I will vote.
You must not know much about how the system works if you think voting makes any difference. I have never voted and never plan to. My ballot would not count, nor would I want to vote for too many candidates that are as human as I. They would have to be an exceptional human being before I would touch a ballot.
I could perhaps vote for one of these far less than perfect candidates, but I would need a reason to believe they did not have hidden agendas or pathetic ideas of how this country should be run. As far as I know we have not had a candidate like that since who, George Washington? That was back when things were far more simple and a President wasn't tempted by so much to corrupt him. Then again, there may be plenty about the first few "good" President's we wouldn't like to know about that might blacken their names.
Everyone has a dark past and a secret agenda.
And just how do you propose we 'stop our government' from doing anything? I vote that you make a visit to the USA and do it yourself if you're so eager to make changes and know how to convince an entire government to do things you way.
Steve Jobs is a tool with a few good ideas and an over sized ego, that just happens to know how to bullshit the public into thinking his products are something special.

Gadgets don't save configurations? That is a lie.
