1. Comment - Handful of Vista Hotfixes Available

   (Feb 5, 2007 - 3:45 PM)

   I found Vista to be much faster on my system then XP was, but I am well with in the hardware requirements for Vista.
   
   So my question to you would be, what are your system specs? And what background stuff is running, Norton (Which I found really slows down your computer no matter which OS you have), spyware software, other stuff that was ment for XP?

2. Comment - iPod, iTunes Have Problems with Vista

   (Feb 5, 2007 - 2:22 PM)

   Man, reading some of this is like watching an afternoon talk show...
   
   I think it's neither Microsoft nor Apple's fault. I bet Apple had it working fine on a handful of test computers, but once the beast (Vista) got out into the real world all them I.D.10.T. errors showed up.
   
   It's not Microsoft's job to make sure all the 1000's of programs (shareware/freeware and what not) out there will still work.
   
   And just like other people I bet, I have had no problems with ANY software yet on my Vista box. (Games such as the Need For Speeds and FEAR and programs like Photoshop CS2, Dreamweaver, iTunes and so on) NO PROBLEMS!
   
   And I am not a FANBOY. It's just cheaper for me to buy parts at Fry's and keep upgrading my PC then it is to buy a MAC and Linux is not an answer for me.

   How often did you send error reports back to Microsoft? How many lines of code did you re-write? How many conversations did you have with Microsoft about changes that need to be made???
   
   Helped Build?

   I agree... The average user should leave it as is. The UAC is really a great tool for keeping out spyware and what nots. I don't even know how many computers I have had to reload for people over the years because they installed some free screen saver or a free game. I tell them and tell them, don't install all that free stuff and keep your kids off cheat code websites! They never listen...
   
   On the other side, UAC may not do any good at all. As soon as malware/spyware tries to run, the user is just going to allow it not knowing what they allowed... You and I both know that's what's going to happen. I have seen it on many XP computers with either Norton or McAfee installed, these programs will ask the user if they want to allow something to run and they just click OK. And next week they bring it to me saying "Somethings wrong with my computer, I don't get it, I have McAfee"
   
   Me on the other hand... LOL, well I like to try new software and tweaks all the time and that UAC is just in the way. But I'm sure you like me know what we are doing to a point when installing things and what to look for and don't just click AGREE, AGREE, AGREE when installing things. I can say that I have not had a virus or spy ware on my computers in several years (I learned the hard way about 5 years ago).
   
   My computer isn't called CRASH for nothing! The more I crash it, the more I learn. But I can say as far as Vista, I have only crashed it 2 times in 2 weeks (Blue screen and all). My first 2 weeks with XP, I think I had reloaded it 4 times by now... LOL
