Microsoft Windows Vista

[Zannies]

hey cannabis.com,

i was just wondering if any of you had windows vista. i'm getting a new computer with it tomorrow and i was wondering if its any good.

im not sure if this is the right section..

[slipknotpsycho]

i have it, and no it sucks.... very buggy.

[Kalmah]

My family bought 2 new computers in the past 2 days and both have Windows Vista

It's good so far, almost everything has been redone on it, it's fast and easy to use and looks good imo

[Zannies]

do you think it will get better?

[not_the_kitty]

If your getting a new computer I would recomend a mac, I got one 2 years ago and it was the best descision I ever made and it barely has lost any speed. It is as easy as windows with NONE of the problems or bs warnings and errors.

[slipknotpsycho]

after they get a service pack out, yeah...

service packs usually take awhile to come out, but it's been out awhile, could come at any time..

it's a nice OS, looks clean... it' sjust cuz it's new it sucks, all the bugs are annoying

[Zannies]

its a very cheap computer im getting. the nice thing is its very customizable as in hardware. the computer im using now isn't.

i dont want to get XP again and have vista fix all the bugs. then i'll want to get vista again and waste a bunch of money.

i don't really like macs

[Zannies]

i only really use the computer for listening to music and going on the internet too, maybe a few games here and there

if you have compatability issues with games right click on the shortcut go to the compatability tab check "run compatible with xp sp2" and save it.

then always open the game by right clicking and selecting "run as administrator"

[Zannies]

thank you for that.

is vista like...manageably annoying or unbearable

[rebgirl420]

I got it and I love it. It hasn't gave me problems yet. The only bad thing was it was expensive.

[Zannies]

yeah the computer im getting is 500 bucks, but thers no monitor or anything with it.

reb what games did you say you played on the comp?

[rebgirl420]

DOOM, sims (on and off), scrabble, oregon trail (kicking it old school), zoo tycoon, and a few hunting games

[Zannies]

aww i have cs and guild wars...never played guild wars once tho. is doom online

[rebgirl420]

Yeah all the doom games are online. I used to play against people but I havent played in a long time. Though I find it fun sometimes to hunt online for wads for the programs.

[Zannies]

oo well hopefully this computer turns out good. i havent had a new computer for 7 years.

[rebgirl420]

Yeah mines about 3-4 years old. But its freaking amazing. Its an HP. My fave. I finally have it working like clockwork and I havent had any problems in a long time. I invested a shit load of cash on that thing too. But the other computer thats at Johns and I's house is a freaking laptop Dell....hate Dell. Hopefully ill be able to take my actual comouter from my parents house. The way it is now I can only use the home one when I visit (2 days a week) : (

[slipknotpsycho]

thank you for that.

every comp is diffrent, since there's so much that actually makes up a computer...

mines managabley annoying... once you get it to stop asking you if you want to wipe your ass or take a piss, that is.

[Zannies]

oh thats not bad. im getting a compaq. 2.0ghz, 512gb but upgradable to 4gb? is that an error on the site or is this a new feature

[Zannies]

hey this vista is really nice. i like the windows media center and the ability to make dvds...no problems with it so far and its veryyyy fast for me.
