Then there is the fact that it was programmed in a way that there was very little communication between departments, so there are a lot of things that don't match up, making glitches.

It's just a bad OS all around. I can only hope that Windows 7 is an improvement.

I have Vista and I think it is much better the XP

The only thing going for it is that it's visually impressive.

It's a system hog and generally doesn't handle anything efficiently.

Dude, the fact that you say that, and support oboma, shows that you need to be summarily liquidated.

In short, no, Vista is not worse, as long as you don't go for the basic versions. Go for a PC that comes with it installed and you will be fine. Don't upgrade as thats a bad plan.

If your computer doesn't meet the reccomended requirements, then you shouldn't intall vista on it. If you HAVE the reccomended requirements, Vista is amazing.

Vista will actually play games better then XP if you have a decent system. Vista manages resources MUCH better then XP if you have the reccomended amount.

Threads full of people making comments about vista that dont know what they're talking about make me RAAAGEEE

Yep. Worse. Just as others said, its slower than XP when its operating on an average computer and can't handle anything efficiently. My brand new Dell came with Vista and it operated poorly even when nothing was on it. My programs and software kept closing on their own. I don't use that PC anymore. I use my MacBook.

Your mistake was buying one of Dell Super Duper Discount computers. Do some research next time.

My parents did buy one of those "Dell Super Duper Discount" computers for themselves, but I think if they're selling a computer that has it installed, it should be able to handle it well. It was a dual core processor. It crashed so many times, we finally bought a copy of Windows XP and downgraded the computer, which is just sad.

But on my bottom to mid range laptop, it was a nightmare.  Slow as hell, crashed constantly, countless useless programs that were tricky to remove completely...it just wasn't worth it.  Quickly gave up on Vista, put on Linux Mint, and was perfectly happy with it.  And soon after made it a dual boot with Windows XP on it, and it is a perfect laptop.
