Vista - Problem after problem

[Adam01]

Who here also hates vista?
If I updated mine, it woud'nt find an internet connection.
I recently updated to the new messenger, that dont work now - doesnt connect. Yes I tried all those obvious diagnostics.

It seems you are newbie to vista. VIsta is fine nowadays. All softwares are being "vistaficated". The problem may depend on the vista version..What's yours? I recommend you to use "Vista Ultimate".
To start to use Vista you need
1) A good computer...
2) Patience (this for learning the vista - e.g. sometimes you will meet problem to findout where is network connection folder...)
3) Don't install other programs, not compatible with Vista.

BUT there is an acronym for vista,
V-Virus,
I-Intruders,
S-Spyware,
T- Trojan,
A- Annoyance

i've had Vista for months and have never had any problems with it, ever. I don't know what your problem may be with Vista, sorry.

Hey,

I like Vista. It works just fine.

You probably did something wrong and as the majority of my customers

immediately blamed Vista/XP. You have to know what you are doing.

Maybe you disabled it. Messenger isn't working because you have no

internet connection.

Medphoenix - That is not true. If you are protected then you are fine.

For example, would you try gain access to 10000 People or

1000000000? I am thinking 1 Billion!

Medphoenix - That is not true. If you are protected then you are fine.

I told there is acronym, but I didn't tell that is true.
I also like vista!

I think its home premium, and yes, internet does work. One of the updates stops vista from finding the internet, I cant even ping from cmd, but msn did work.
Now, messenger dont work - new update caused it. the older version worked fine.

There's been a lot of crap slung about Vista. Hopefully it's not true, because my new PC comes with Vista Premium. Are there any Service Packs out yet?

Yes i think they have released a sp1 for vista. but now sure of it.

And Adam01 you might be using a beta or some other early versions. The new versions are updated and runs fine i suppose.

 

[Adam01]

They have released sp1, just for technet users.
Im not sure my one is a early beta, surely pc-world woudnt sell you a beta OS.

 

[CoolFinalFan]

dunno what the problem could be! It could be a number of things!!
Also, heard and read that Microsoft is lowering the price of Vista from 28-48% FOR BOXED VERSIONS!

 

[alexandgruntz]

Vista SP1 will be released mid-March I think.

 

[intenex]

Alright that's good so I won't be behind when I install my new PC . What's the difference between Premium, Basic, Business, and Ultimate, by the way?

I don't exactly know. If you do get vista, get some type of dual core. Mine is an AMD somthing, and its really slow.

 

[bklynken]

I haven't had problems with Vista either.

 

[master257]

ahh to me vista looks awsome... but running wise.. it only conserves battery life on laptops and etc... for games i would suggest XP and for programming its Linux all the way =]

 

[Kremen]

XP is way better - get rid of it

 

[alexandgruntz]

XP will soon be obsolete - get rid of XP when you can. I am.

Which is why they will stop selling XP sometime this June. If you seriously want XP, get it but you'll miss out in a few years when it comes down to updates. Vista has worked without a problem with me ever since I got it 6 months ago on my gaming computer, and I couldn't be happier with it. And then there's Linux once XP stops selling if Vista isn't working out for you.
