QUOTE I know I'd be speechless because I'd be laughing so bad I wouldn't have time to respond. Almost the same here. Vista needs more resources than XP. HAH spend a lot of money for it, too. and for the resources. HAHA. But i might buy it.
Honestly these 100 reasons are all TRUE , But... As true as they are - I'm not really getting that "oh I need to get Vista right away!" feeling.
But yeah my Desktop computer runs Windows XP Professional and my Laptop came with Windows Vista. I can't say it's that bad. Goes smoothly with 2GB's of RAM. QUOTE Honestly these 100 reasons are all TRUE Let's choose a couple, I have not the time to go through 100QUOTE #1. It makes using your PC a breeze Sure, after you shell out an extra $150 on upgrades. QUOTE #9. Unchain your mobile PC. Really? I have NEVER EVER BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT BEFORE? WOW I'm getting Vista this instant. (not)Network and Sharing Center lets you set up a wireless network at home so you can experience the freedom of working from your living room, backyard, or anywhere in your home. QUOTE #15. Because your PC remembers to back up for you. Windows Backup and Restore Center offers improved backup and restore functions, with automatically scheduled backups to preserve priceless digital photos, music, movies, and documents. Yes, please fill my hard drive up with useless clutter every single day. QUOTE 3. It's the safest version of Windows ever Hehe, oh wow. I'd like a guarantee on that. What's that? Oh, of course you can't do that, what was I thinking...Windows Vista provides better protection for your PC, your personal information, and your family than any previous version of Windows—with new security tools like Windows Defender, anti-spam and phishing filters, and Parental Controls. Automatic backups, Performance Self-Tuning, and built-in diagnostics help you keep your data protected and your PC running smoothly. QUOTE 8. Your PC can take care of itself Performance Self Tuning, Self-Healing technologies, Built-in Diagnostics, and repair tools keep your computer running at its best and provide automatic fixes, so you can spend less time dealing with problems and enjoy a more reliable PC experience. If it didn't have problems, it wouldn't have to "take care of itself" in the first place. QUOTE 21. Put more playtime in family time Chess Titans? That ain't no joke. Must be worth $59.99 straight from the manufacturer.Bring the whole family together to enjoy Chess Titans, Mahjong Titans, an exciting new kids learning game, Purble Place,G and other third-party games using Windows Media CenterM to play and watch on your TV screen. QUOTE 24. Because you don't want to worry about spyware LMAO! I'm pretty sure I do! QUOTE 25. It works with the software, hardware, and services you want Contrary to what I've heard/experienced.Windows Vista is compatible with a wide array of software applications, hardware devices, and services to meet your computing needs. Just look for the Certified for Windows Vista logo to ensure you'll get a superior Windows Vista experience. QUOTE 57. Because you don't need a PC to watch your home movies Windows DVD MakerU lets you create professional-looking DVDs of your photos and home movies—complete with transitions and chapters—that you can watch on your home DVD player. That makes it easier to share digital photos and videos of your family events with all of the relatives—even if they don't have a PC of their own. And to think, why would I ever want to get any other products that offer more features than this? This alone must make Vista worth it! (not) Well, I can't take much more of this. Perhaps if I want a laugh I should turn to MS instead of Comedy Central. Half of their reasons have nothing to do with Vista, and the other 45% are blatant lies. There are 5% that are true I'd say, but nothing to make me "wow".

Interesting to note that a majority of the sold Vista operating systems, not counting the ones that come with your pc if you're the kind that buys from stores, are usually bought for business and because the new Office was sooooo much better than the last.

This list while maybe a select few are true, most are completely laughable and just downright sad in my opinion. Many of them are hilarious for even suggesting they're as useful and as good as they, I honestly want to know who thought this up, compiled it, and truly acted and thought it was supposed to be some sort of serious "omg this is so speechless/cool" kind of list. It's just utterly retarded, they should be spending time working out bugs, FIXING the 8800gtx & Vista bugs that plague one of the best dx10 gfx cards instead of doing this silly list that nobody really cares about, and most people will be found posting it and laughing at it.
I have used Window 2000, Window Me and Window XP before. I feed up with Microsoft Window XP Professional. After I read this, I do not want to buy Windows Vista. It is very expensive. As for me, no point to buy although it is better. That is my opinion. I have never use Linus and Mac OS. I want to use Linux and Mac OS because one of my friends said it is extremely faster than Window OS. But I have to buy Apple to use Mac OS. It will cost me more.
QUOTE I want to use Linux and Mac OS because one of my friends said it is extremely faster than Window OS. But I have to buy Apple to use Mac OS. It will cost me more. I'm pretty sure you can install Linux on a Mac. What kind of system do you have anyways? Latest Entries
Okay, now for 16 to 30:
16. Get your new computer up and running in no time. I believe Linux has this sort of a feature too, as well as CA Desktop Migrator. And it's not exactly hard to migrate your entire desktop. You might actually benefit from not doing so, because your desktop is less clutterred. 17. It's like having your own personal anchorman. Ever heard of Google Sidebar? Or how about Desktop Sidebar, which does the same thing for Windows XP? 18. Create your own personal archive. This is just the back up feature 15 again. Of course, it has a schedule, but you could easily do that with XP or Linux. 19. Watch live TV on your PC Well, this is an original reason, but there was software to do that already; it was just that people didn't know about it. It's not exactly a breathtaking reason... (+0.5 reason) 20. Set your home network up in a flash I don't think there is a home network in 95% of homes that have computers... OK, WTF. It doesn't display properly in Firefox or Opera. 21. Put more playtime in family time. So now there's Chess, Mahjong, and Purble Place. Big whoop. Kids usually don't play those kinds of games anyway, unless they're over 8. 22. See everything you're working on at a glance. Flip 3D might actually be a reason to be surprised at Vista. Maybe Microsoft does tell the truth sometimes after all. (+1 reason) Of course, there's always the already-implemented virtual desktop system of Ubuntu, which has a "Rotate 3d" enabled if Beryl is on. 23. Because it's like a digital candy store. Note the word "store". That means everything comes at a price. Ubuntu, on the other hand, is like a school party the size of Tutti Fruitti. 24. Because you don't want to worry about spyware. This, at a glance, has nothing to do with Vista itself. Now, if it said "you don't have to worry about spyware", then it would have some correlation. Of course, you always have to worry about spyware with any Windows product, regardless of how close it is to the HAL the Windows sets up. 25. It works with the software, hardware, and services you want. Yeah, right. I don't even need to explain this one. About 85% of people who have Vista will know what I mean. It also says, "just look for the 'Certified for Windows Vista' logo." Well, I've got some news for you, Microhard. About 25% of all products sold worldwide have these on them. Much less than the 51% you'd need for a pseudomonopoly... 26. Because you're a multitasker. Am I? It doesn't seem like it. Windows XP is also a multitasking OS. Why can't we just use that? As well, the Quick Tabs function in IE7 is also available in Firefox 2. Why can't we just use that? 27. Because your computer can keep up with you while you're on the go. If you take your computer along with you, of course it'll keep up. 28. Enjoy your memories, larger than life. Aren't all memories larger than life? Those big, beautiful photos don't have too much detail in them, do they... 29. Take the handwritten approach Hmm. I seem to remember that Windows XP had a Tablet PC edition that was especially designed for this. 30. Restore your PC in an instant Even Norton Ghost's backup takes about 1/5 of the total restored hard disk's space. I shudder to think what kind of algorithm Windows uses... I'll post 31-45 tomorrow. This is tiring... QUOTE 10. Surf more Safely. Internet Explorer and safety should never be used in the same sentence.Internet Explorer 7 QUOTE 13. Because you need to know who the bad guys are. Lol, who, the HaX0rz? QUOTE 2. Because all of your music is just a remote control click away. So apparently, a remote is required? Lol.I never knew remote controls could be used on computers. Also, notice how they say "compatible" in the reason. I don't think 99% of non-universal remotes are compatible. QUOTE 7. Because you can freeze time. Exactly, the BSOD (or the equivalent) does that for you! How neat!
I'll try to review them 1 by 1. If the post is too long, I apologize.
While I review them, I'll keep a record of how many reasons are valid or plausible. If a reason is valid but nothing to really be speechless about, I'll count it as "plausible", or "half a reason". 1. It makes using the PC a breeze. Define "breeze". You get about 40 interruptions a minute from UAC. (I know the problem exists on Linux too, but at least you only need to do it once!) 2. Because all of your music is just a remote control click away. I never knew remote controls could be used on computers. Also, notice how they say "compatible" in the reason. I don't think 99% of non-universal remotes are compatible. 3. It's the safest version of Windows ever. Define "safe". If "safe" means that Windows bugs you for every security risk 0.1% and higher that you take, then yes, it is very safe. 4. See your world in a whole new light. Windows Aero is not "a whole new light". Why would we need to see behind our application window's titlebar? 5. It can find your stuff. So can Google Desktop search. Sorry, Microsoft, you fail there. 6. Because you're always on the run. From what? The police? The Sync center was present in Windows XP as well, and I think Linux and Mac have them too. 7. Because you can freeze time. This is an overexaggerated claim. (Okay, how is "overexaggerate" not a word? Firefox's spell-check returns it as one.) Sure, the Photo gallery is useful, but nothing Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition couldn't handle. 8. Your PC can take care of itself The diagnosing one is just a polished-up version of Dr. Watson. The self-tuning stuff, I've never experienced with my Vista. I'll have to check later on this. (+0.5 reason, because it's plausible) 9. Unchain your mobile PC I thought the Network and Sharing center existed in Windows 98 as well. Microsoft must really be good at recycling. 10. Surf more Safely. Internet Explorer 7 includes anti-phishing and malware checks. Although these might be useful, they're not as useful as professional security systems like Norton or CA. But, it might be useful for some people, so I'll count it as plausible. (+0.5 reason) 11. Help protect your kids online. The parental controls pretty much control everything that they could want, as well as giving the parent access to what the child really has been doing. It's kind of like Big Brother, so I'd say the controls are pretty efficient. However, software could do this already, so it's no reason go get off your seats. (+0.5 reason) 12. Schedule showtime on your time You know, I think Joost does this better. But since Windows has it anyway, I'll give something to them. (+0.5 reason) 13. Because you need to know who the bad guys are. This is the anti-phishing feature in IE7. I thought Windows XP already supported this. Sorry Microsoft, no half-cookies here. 14. Make any room a Media room This feature needs and Xbox 360, which costs about $1 for every degree it advertises (roughly $360). So you need to spend $760 to make every room a media room. The price tag alone makes me go "wow", and not in a good way. 15. Because your PC remembers to back up for you. And it did as well with XP's System Restore. No reason for your eyes to pop out, folks. Okay, I'll stop here for now, since I'm lazy and also want to get all the credits for the huge post I'm in the progress of making (I believe the maximum is 10). So far, Microsoft has 2 "reasons".
It's way too early to use Vista yet, I'm pretty sure you can get everything you need on XP right now and for many years to come (I'm guessing you run XP though). It's a complete resource hog, and in my opinion, is part of a scam involving DirectX 10.
QUOTE I dont think Microsoft will not realease and will not sell Microsoft Windows Vista if it has full of errors, Mr. Bill Gates and Microsoft will be on shame if it has full of errors. Ever try things like Windows 98 or Windows ME? Those wonderful products used to only crashed about 4 times a day on my older pc, which definitely met the recommendations set by the OS.
