I don't have much problems with Vista. Okay, I sometimes have to clear the hibernation file to prevent some bluescreens when my laptop wakes up.
Everything works fine after some tweaking :D

Because there are plenty of advantages to go with the plenty of disadvantages. Not to mention as you said, I spent money on it!

Wutske, if I wanted to be downright mean I'd tell you to pull out your CMOS battery, laptop or not, and see what happens the next time you boot Vista. |D Booting Windows Vista with the incorrect BIOS clock will let you experience activation hell as a bonus feature that XP can't claim to have.

What advantages? Did I miss something about Vista?


And rationally, you shouldn't look at the money spent, because those are sunk costs.

it came preinstalled on this Acer laptop :/
and not all devices have drivers for XP

OEM Vista doesn't need activation :ws:

You wouldn't consider the money spent on a car a "sunk cost" and write it off... but that is quibbling over unrelated things. I already mentioned what I consider to be advantages to Vista in past posts.


Preinstalled OEM may not, but my OEM version of Ultimate certainly does. Repeatedly... :no:

I call it an upgrade to Windows XP Pro ;)
