Is it crap hardware, or crap OS?

There is no reason an OS needs more than a GeForce2 to run... even that is pretty obscene when you think about it.

Now I won't call vista crap, but I still can't see why I'd switch from winXP to Vista? What do I get for the switch? A new interface some like, some don't? "Better security?" Sorry - I have no problems with XP security when it is used properly.

XP is a good OS, dont get me wrong. Even OS X needs more resources than its previous versions. Only reason to upgrade is when your PC craps out or M$ stops supporting XP.

As a semi literate computer user i dont like vista so far. The wife went and got a new lappy at best buy a few weeks ago. They asked her if she would like to spend another like $200 for them to "clean it up" before she brought it home. Well she smartly said no and figured i could do it. I know my way around a pc moderatly well i like to think, but far from a geek. Man i spent forever getting rid of all the crap that comes with Vista, i was really amazed. Now i dont doubt some of you could make fast work of what took me a day. But as my first experience with it, i found it to be a pain in the *** . Im glad i still have my tower and windows xp.
I think the crap your refer to is more the branded BS that comes on brandname PCs. The shyt that needs disabled in Vista can be turned off etc by a novice in just minutes. I refuse ti buy brandname crap, with the exception of laptops that you cant just pick the part ya want n build one. I build all my desktops n buld em for others as well. Then again maybe thats why I dont have no issues with Vista. I dont try running it on crap hardware. And yet again, it runs fine on this pos laptop I am on atm, it cant even run aero lol.
My goodness mate ....... ???

TK954RR sounds like a very average PC user .... and you think they are spouting crap??.... they are talking ground level PC user stuff...

The shyt that needs disabled in Vista can be turned off etc by a novice in just minutes. I refuse ti buy brandname crap,
Do you repair PC's for clients ?? well I do mate ..
Only this week a guy who has been a user ( ground level ) for 2 years, had me clean his windows Vista and give him a basic 2 hr run down on how to deal with bloody truck !!!! of a thing....

Relativity .... have you ever hear of it ? Everything is relative... most are not as smart as you maybee .. ? has this ever occured to you ?

I have been giving online PC help for over ten years , and I tell you , most are not willing nor able to deal with much more than notepad ....

You seem to hang shyte on anything that below you ... ?
That is not the way any PC support service world wide work mate ...

The assumption is that most know less than us and Vista is maybee is ok for you and me ... but its a shyte for most newer users .. thats a fact !!!!!!!!

I refuse ti buy brandname crap,
Yer ... you again mate !!
Most have to buy brand name crap as you put it... and yer , PC techs and tutors have to go about the business of helping these poor people through the nightmare of using them ...


I was referring to the bloatware HP, Dell etc install on their machines then the likes of Best Buy want to charge $200 to clean it all off. I do IT as well, not as long as you and I deal with the PC savvy to those who barely can turn a PC on, to the worst that think they know it all and dont know shyt. I dont mean to talk down about any user, but in my experience it more laziness than the OS bein crap. I heard all the same ranting when XP first came out, and still know a few who run win98BSOD n refuse to upgrade. I just upgraded my mom n step-dad to XP Pro from winy2k pro. I'm no guru of the pc world, plenty of peeps including yourself prolly know tons more than me, but I have learn one thing tho, a techs most powerful tool is.....

GOOGLE!!

All very well my friend ..
but do you think you can possibly entertain the thoughts of the new user's issues as being relative to them ?? no matter how dumb they may seem to be ?

I think perhaps you do not give much PC support ? am I right ?

With support , patients and an ability to communicate without sounding like we are hanging shyte is a definate advantage mate ...

Hope you take my small piece of advise how it is meant ... and that is to help ... not hang shyte on you
Do quite a bit actually, and my demeanor is completely diff when dealing with clients or just users online. And yes I know your mean well by you comments lol. But this is where I get to vent n rant n proclaim FreeBSD rewlz!!!

Yer fair enough ...
Me , I think in any public forum , we should promote a balanced view mate , no matter what ..
It is our responsibility that I take seriously... ( yours and mine )

This place is supposed to be a professionally run forum and a very well respected forum amoung CBR bike riders..

You may laugh ... that's your right ... but I recon its good practice to assume that most are intelligent without qualification..

I do not think the majority in here are dick heads mate and I will not treat them like they are, so unless provoked ....

Hey...just incase you think I am just an old square twitt or something? ... you are very wrong ...

I love nine inch nails ...Poison Nevana ... and all the older rock stuff and have 3 boys , all over 25 that think of me as a brother rather than a dad...

I have taken a small beating from rider0033 to night, over me taking a dislike to his friggin dick head 2 word replies that he gives seemingly to only boost his post numbers ??
( but thats another story)

Look at my banner mate .. the pics are days old... .. not that pics mean much , but I am no fat old twitt...
I am very fit 185lbs ,educated , strong, in spirit and body, the typical Aussie out doors type that if had the chance, would deal with that little ***** rider0033 face to face.....
He would not last 10 friggin minutes in Aus with his mouth.
( yer , not relavant to our post ..sorry mate )

Anyway , my point is that the perception given in text alone is sometimes off the mark ...

I hope you take this again how it is meant ....

180 myself n no spring chicken lol. If you read around, I am very blunt, I dont candy coat shyt. ANd no most here are not ********* n those who are either dont last long or get treated as such lol. You're good thus far mate!!

No, CBRClassic, it is no surprise why people hate Microsoft...but after 4 pages of this bickering, it's safe to come to the conclusion that we are not going come to any sort of agreement here....I'm retiring from this thread.
