Sign petition to Bill Gates

Vista is a disaster. We all know it. I am upset and I want my money back or I
want a permanent fix. You do not have to be a geek to figure this game out.
How long do you think it should take reading all the tips and quips to get
all this vista crp to work smoothly. This is an outright rip off. Anybody
interested, I may need alittle input on writing this petetion.

You would probably get better results taking some computer classes at
your local community college.

Re: Sign petition to Bill Gates

Its crap, he is right..

Sure there are some that have had no problems, but this OS is released to
the world
and should work on all kinds of comptuers.

Dont think its a disaster? Google a bit. See what comes up...
if you still dont agree that means you are biased.

Re: Sign petition to Bill Gates

I've been running Vista for 6 months now and haven't had a single problem
with it. I think for the vast majority of us the system is far superior to
XP.

Re: Sign petition to Bill Gates

Nah, its you who need the classes, since you seem to not be able to grasp
the big picture of how bad vista really is and the global consequences of
such trash OS.

The more you learn about vista, the more mistakes you see it has.

Trying to pull that snobby "superiority complex" vista boy trick, just
backfired flat in your face!!!!

It shows how little you really know! LOL

Is this just for those who can't get it to work ?
What about the rest of us who are using the same product without
problems ?
What about those who just don't like the look of it ?
Have you asked your retailer/OEM for your money back ?

I think Mr G has moved on and is now in the business of giving money
away so you might be lucky :->

Not in my book. And I doubt all those that bought Vista on Vista-capable
machines feel as you do.

And if chewing up much more memory, some new but basically useless eye
candy, and a dysfunctional file manager is what you think is superior,
then I would agree that Vista is superior.

Re: Sign petition to Bill Gates

Woe woe woe. Obviously I am not asking for response or signature from the
people who are down with vista. Why are you even responding and nasty too. Go
back to your own business boys and girls. It should be obvious this one is
not for you.
To the folks that responded with the same thoughts in mind, do you think it
matters which computer manufacturer you have? If so please do tell which
system you have, and lets compare. We can prove those creeps are wrong.

I think he must be referring to his main productivity application, 3D Flip.

My biggest issue with Vista is the learning curve. It was easy to go from
Windows98 to WindowsNT and Windows2k to XP because they weren't all that
different. You just added to your store of knowledge with each one. Vista
has so many very different ways of doing things the way we became accustomed
to. I think for some users, this might be the first time it has been
necessary to make changes to the way they are working with an OS.

I very much prefer XP because that is what I know well and I am comfortable
with. I can count on one hand the number of blue screens I had with XP on
hundreds of installations over the years. In just a few months, I have had
dozens of blue screens on one laptop running Vista. I don't blame Vista for
that as much as I do the hardware and marginally compatible software. Every
blue screen is a learning opportunity.
