Is expensive if you want ultimate version (over 5000-6000 kr? Jesus that sucks hard time)
OEM. Ultimate costs, what, 160€ OEM, 20€ more for 64-bit version. Although you're "supposed to be a prebuilt computer bulider", it's still legal.

And what's your problem with voice recognition? It doesn't make Vista shit just cause it is. Get better argument points.

5000-6000 kr is enough exspensive in sweden.

Voice recognition? Who wants that anyway?


Life has been a fucking hell recently, including accepting what has happened to me in the past. Dunno if life will ever get better but at the least I'm still hanging on. Lol.

Okay that would be the only good point.

Discriminating? Gtfo.

You still fail to provide valid points beside the price: everything else you've mentioned just doesn't cut it. Voice recognition might be useless to the normal person, but that doesn't make Vista bad.

I have to say, the general universal incompatability with many things would put me off. Though Hayden makes a valid point that the tweaking would fix many bugs, the fact that such tweaking is required is generally not acceptable. XP ships perfectly usable, and any tweaking you do is a bonus, not a necessity.

I'm sorry, but I'm paying more for XP than I would for Vista with this PC, so I'm thinking that I'm pretty sure on this.  :)

"weaking you do is a bonus, not a necessity." Yea, i did it, cause some things made me mad, cause it slowed my 'speed' down.
I hate anything that slows my PC down, i like to do everything at lightspeed (look at me drive in SA:MP  :banana: )

The only thing that is 'bad, or makes vista totally shit because im a dumbshit and dont understand the apsect of vista's very useful security' - is the ignorant user.

I thought Vista would be cool until I saw negative reviews. XP for life.

yeh, don't some games need that to run?


umm.. no, there is no such thing as a game only using DX10, until June of this year all games have to be usable with DX9 (Windows XP will not be sold after June 1, 2008) Only Vista can use DX10

Some people, read idiots. Bought new laptops. But imediatly after opening it, they unistaled Vista and installed XP.

DON'T BE THIS STUPID!!! Or you will have lots of drivers problems that you will only be able to solve if you are an expert.

I only say this because 5 guys with a computer like mine add me on msn to ask me how to solve their problem with drivers.
Lucky for them, the LG E500 comes with a reboot DVD that resets your pc to factory default.

This reminds me, back on other forums, there were two boys, they were both fanboys of Xbox 360 - the other, PS3.

Fanboy for the 360 said xbox 360 was the best, and PS3 sucked all the way.
Fanboy for the PS3 said PS3 was the best, and PS3 sucked all the way.

I went an asked them two a question.  Do either of you have both 360 and PS3?
Wanna know what they said?

Nope, i dont own a PS3
Nope, i dont own a xbox 360.

then i said, Well why shit on them, if you have never played/owned/worked with one?

Gird3r, you never answered Iceboy's question.
"How long have you tried/used Vista?"

My question,
Gird3r, have you ever had Vista?

I got it on this PC, and guess what.
No problems after tinkering with compatibility with ANY of my Programs.
So, you need to like, go somewhere else with the 'Vista isnt compatible with anything' and the 'Vista sucks, XP all the way'
Im guessing you need to change your mindstate from

"XP all the way, vista sucks"
to
"XP all the way, cause i cant sit down and learn how vista works, and i am very lazy, so thats why vista sucks and XP pawns"

Go read what Gandalf posted.
Go read what Iceboy posted.
Go read what I posted.
Do the math.
:ps: that guy is a dumbass cause he cant install anything properly and he cant configure his 'brand new' PC.

Gird3r, just because YOU dont know how YOUR PC works, its not Window Vista's fault, its YOU'RE FAULT

Quoted for the truth.
And my post wraps this subject up.
