Such computers are designed mainly for word processing, e-mail and Web surfing. Without Vista drivers, it's 2001 all over again Vista new ME PS it not me that said Vista is the new ME http://rcip.com/mitch/PhantomPhixer.html the major trouble was Micro$oft and their way of doing things. constant updates to updates, all the flaws in Internet Explorer and now the creation of windows Vista ( or as i like to call it "windows ME part 2").

leeko Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Why exactly Vista sucks? Because of the new graphics API? Perhaps you don't like kernel patch protection, mandatory integrity control or address space layout randomization? Vista introduced the biggest revamp the NT-platform has ever seen. It's undisputable that Vista is more secure platform than XP. Of course increased system requirements are the tradeoff of all this. But historically one driving force for OSDev has been the need to utilize the ever-increasing hardware resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony A Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I like ME and still use it. It will be about 6 months before I can afford a Vista capable system as I have just completed my tax return and I owe almost $700.00 I can't remember the last time I received a tax refund. What are you guys writing off to get refunds. Than again I don't pay taxes during the year since I don't have "earned income". All my income is investment income and doesn't get taxed until I file my returns. Even when I was a slave to the grind and working I didn't get a refund unless I maxed out my RRSP.
