So what's new?

1 - Who tried windows vista? how is it
2 - is BlueVoda gonna be fine working on vista as Xp?

Hey!

Welcome back! .. where you living now? Anywho ..

1. Windows Vista - I suggest strongly that you get it! Best Windows ever released, many new features added!

2. & 3. Yes, BlueVoda will work fine on Vista, and I am pretty sure by then they will have a new version of BlueVoda out.

Thanks Jeremy, I'm in Australia now, in an amazing calm place facing trees and greeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnn everywhere, 200 m to the beach in Gosford.

1 - They said that windows vista will not reach Australia yet, it is just in America now and Canada I'm sure, well, I can always get it from some friends just to try, but I would like to buy an original later.

Thanks Jeremy and see ya around.

Really? I havn't heard about that? .. well that really sucks! .. I don't think you would be able to get it from someone because Microsoft has made sure that their new software is un-hackble this time and it might notice that you are living in the Australian country, unless its just that they arent selling the Vista over there or..?

You could be right, you could be wrong, if you are a computer abuser, let say you are Number 500 between 600 abuser, if you think about how they're thinking, and try to thik exactly like them, anything is possible.

In computers, data related stuff, as we know how softwares functions are, nothing is impossible.

True, true .. Microsoft though has been getting caried away, they have so much money they try to do everything possible. You should see all the programs, sites they've got going now.

Many rumours going around that they are copying ideas from Apple.

Have not tried it yet...still waiting.

bluevoda works like a charm on vista, but I would not recommend vista. All it is is eye candy. Sure, some things are better, but for the most part, it just isn't worth the money, or the hassle. If you are totally into looks, then it is the right product. Also, your computer won't run as quickly, and you are requires to have at least 15 gigabytes for the operating system. (when it installs it is 7.5 gigs, but when you install programs, it eats up more memory in the WINDOWS folder for app data.)

Overall, don't switch. I have been using it for a while on my old laptop, and I have to say, I like xp better. :)

Jeremy · #9 12-24-2006, 03:50 AM

Hey,

Is the old computer up to the standards of Windows Vista? You atleast need Duo Core, and 320GB, and a 2GB catch and much more.. works fine for me :)

pemdas21 · #10 12-26-2006, 07:11 AM

laughs...

No, this is the 32 bit version...

512 mb Ram
80 gig hard drive

This old piece of junk has no problem with vista. Isn't that incredible!?
My other main desktop would be better....

2 gig ram
500 gig hard drive
dual core processor

VodaHost · #11 02-20-2007, 05:50 PM

it needs at least 10 gigs free space to run (So Bill says)

pet121 · #12 02-27-2007, 06:22 AM

yikes! I would hold off purchasing Vista. I would give it another year at least.
August 2006 while in Vegas the demo version was crashed in less than 30 seconds. I would hold off until most of the bugs are worked out.

just my 2 cents

Vista still vulnerable...experts say windows Vista may still be
susceptible to hackers...

Hi,

just bought a lap top with vista on it, BV is great as ever so no problem there but Vista is not as great as I thought. Great on the eye but not as easy to navigate as XP, mabye I am just used to XP but unless you are going for the more expensive versions of Vista, I would stick with XP.

cheers

Dave

Responses to “The Problems with Windows Vista is Windows”

1. David Nick
I’ve had the “priviledge” of playing with Vista. The one interesting aspect was that we were using Vista 64 on a 64bit proc, and it really blew chunks. :(
However, if any of you have used Vista, or had access to it, it’s not too disimilar from Mac’s OS “X” platform. With the exception that it doesn’t have a Unix backbone. :( One can hope. LOL
2. william
windows vista sucks most people who have pcs over 2 years can’t run vista what does microsoft think we are made of money
3. Deputy Dog
Don’t buy it !!! Send Billy a message.Buy a MAC instead !!! Don’t let Hollywood dictate what you home PC can or can’t do !!!
4. Vandal
Deputy Dog, That’s funny that you say “Don’t let Hollywood dictate what you home PC can or can’t do !!!” right after you say “Buy a MAC instead !!!”
Last time I checked, Mac is the only OS that ever shows up in movies. In any case, Windows Vista is a “Wholly ****! NIGHTMARE!” … You talk about wanting my $256 back really bad right about now. I could send you a boatload of error “snippets” that I’ve taken in Vista Home Premium in the past couple of hellish days since buying it. I’m almost in tears it’s so freakin’ bad. I have a nice clean version…still in the plastic…of WIN 95. I htink I’m going to install it on a dual boot just so I can use my computer again.
5. ash
I have a dual core amd and 2 gigs of ram, at times it runs great. But 3 quarters of the time the system resources are such a hog that it is like i am running on a p3 with 256 mb of ram.Vista is **** right now and i hope for everyones sake microsoft addresses this issue in the near future, otherwise mac may be the way of the future.That would mist unfortunate cause all our computers would then look like a little childs computer.Don’t believe the hype of an os that has been put out 4 years before it was actually ready.
6. Aaron Brazell
Funny, ash. My Mac doesn’t look anything like a child’s computer. What the hell are you smoking?

7. Vandal
Well, I’m thinking that maybe Bill Gates took out stock in Apple and then put out Vista….or maybe he’s given up and has joined the Linux crowd. Fedora Core is looking pretty good to me right now. :o)
8. Vizagg
CD burnt on Vista are having problem recognizing in Windows XP.
It says file is corrupted, etc. .. Ha Ha.. wasted two CDs..
They really need to think again.
9. nalta
im getting vista soon and i plan on liking it mac sucks that do look like baby computers and the only reason people have troble with veista is because they bother to try it in a old peice of ****. by the way why do you have a mint coppr of win 95, Vandal did you get it with your computer???
10. Aaron Brazell
I don’t know what the hell you just said, nalta. Do you know how to use a keyboard? Mac’s have keyboards you know.
David Nick
ROFL! I was just going to ask the same thing Aaron
11. Aaron Brazell
Punctuation really sucks. So last century.

Perhaps he learned his punctuation from running spam farms?

Dude…I hope u DON’T buy vista… this is the biggest **** ever created… and i know that cuz my ****y computer is a core 2 duo e6600 on my new evga/nvidia nForce 680i sli, 7800 gt on video and 2 gigs of crucial ballistix ddr2 1000 of ram… like 700+ gigs of hdd and all this ****py pieces buyed just with vista in mind… and the only thing vista do well is work as ****… nothing work on vista…
14. shaz
“learned”? don’t you mean learnt?
15. opps
Oh **** you are all freaking me out. I just ordered a e66oo core 2 duo processor with the windows vista Ultimate. It arrives some time today. So You are saying without a doubt I made a big mistake on getting it. I just us it for fun at home surfing and ebaying. Why will I be hating it so much?????
16. Vandal
opps, I don’t think you’ll hate it if you get a clean install and just use it for surfin and garb. My family’s been linkin’ it after I got everything running right on it. It just has some compatibility issues with some of the existing hardware on the market, like graphics cards and hard drives…nothing major. :o) Good luck with it though. The Media Center is pretty cool, but difficult to navigate around and slow at times.
17. opps
Vandal,
Thanks for letting me know that. I dont have any hardware I need to rely on. I will be back in a day or so to let ya know what I think of it.
18. elias
can i uninstall vista and then install windows xp?
19. David Nick
If you have to install vista, you’ve failed the test my young padawan learner
20. cruise
Hey forum
Lol I have to laugh at some of the comments given about Vista, and i feel for those of you that took the jump to purchase Vista,bad move whats more i can see that more than half of you are computer and OS savi,so i sit here scratching my head wondering why you would buy it, take a tip reformat your computers and reinstall Winxp, save your selves the stress lol..
cheers

I purchased Vista Home Premium and it truly suck’s . Windows Update takes 8 or more times downloading updates to actually install them.
It has downloaded definition updates for Windows Defender and failed to install them for over 2 weeks.
The Free 3 Month’s of Tech Support that come’s with Vista is a joke. I e-mailed them last Sunday and still haven’t recieved any real answer’s or solutions for the numerous problem’s this o.s. has caused.
I ran the Upgrade Advisor at Microsoft’s website before Christmas and it said my p.c. could handle Vista Ultimate , if I removed X.P.’s Power Toys and updated my Video Card driver.
Now , I get error message’s when I try to use my Lexmark X7170 Printer ,
One Touch 2 portable H.D. and it also doesn’t recognize my T.V. tuner / F.M. radio card.
It recognized all this and said everything I just listed was compatible.
Did Microsoft change the Vista compatibilities since before Christmas when I ran there Upgrade Advisor at there Web Site for it .
What a joke and nightmare rolled into one.
P.S. If your considering Vista repeatedly rethink about it as Aero , User Account / Parental Control’s and Media Center aren’t worth the headache’s for the price any version of Vista cost’s.
Be very careful in your decision making , when it com’s to Vista as it could be another 5 years for the next version from Redmond .

k i have no idea if anyone will respond to this but i will give it a shot. i bought my computer and it came with a free vista upgrade. i just got word that it is arriving in a week. i use the computer to listen to music, surf the net, and do school work. does anyone think i will get a headache from using vista for these thin
