Holy fuck I hate Vista.

Yeah, I wish there was a way to toggle that Superfetch function on or off (besides forcefully disabling it), or set parameters for how aggressive it can get...
 
I bet you don't like getting stuff done then.

what the balls.
I've been running Vista since launch and just now reinstalled it because I've installed so much shit it's unbelievable over the past year. i have 4 harddrives and i ran out of space. i cleaned everything up one night and back up chillin'. the only thing that didn't work out is I didn't backup my iTunes library so iTunes doesn't know what the fuck to do at all. My 160gig drive is just for mp3's and it's completely full so there's no way in hell i feel like fucking with loading that shit up again. It takes 30min-1hr just to load all that in itunes. shit's weak.

and seriously, using a mac is a fucking painful experience.
it's like fisher price's my ferst compurta or something of the sort. i just can't stand it. I agree they look pretty, but they're just not effective for my workflow - i do like 80 things at once all the time. it's retarded i know.
 
ALSO:
My computer is running normally.

I fucking cracked up. I mean yeah, Microsoft does some stupid ass shit that makes me laugh, and that's part of the charm.
 
ALSO PART II: Revenge of Haet -

I get plenty of shit done, like yesterday, between selling shit on them ebayses, trolling my 4 main forums, playing san andreas, burning some discs, and jerking it to asian pron, i did some photoshopping and put a pal's head on dave attell's body...

In addition, I'm also founder and member of the international DEW KREW. We teach kids all over the world about caffeine safety and awareness.
I use my VISTA ENHANCED PC to manage the whole business. It's very time consuming making promotional artwork for the group, but the payoff when one less kid od's on x-treme is worth it.

Hahahahahahahahhaa, Sloan, so much stuff in there, I don't even know where to begin to respond...but I will ask, do you have the original version of the "pizza and Mt. Dew" pic? :D
 
So is Vista finally worth making the move to from XP?

I feel quite cosy where I am, but XP has been showing its age for a while now. I feel a tad dwarfed by my friends who use OS X (until we load up games and my PC smokes them sideways) because of its intuitiveness and new-age features.

My impression for... years, I think it's been? Is that Vista is overloaded bloatware that doesn't get the fundamentals right.
 
Haha, well I hope your not being serious Jeff (it's a little ambiguous without any emoticons there, but I guess those have never been your thing), but if you are, I would think it was clear that I was kidding, and I started the damn thread, so of course I'm guilty! (but at least I know it :D)
 
Back on the subject of Ram...

Windows XP can recognize up to 4gb.. but by default only 2gb will every be allocated to a single application.

You can change your Bootini file to allow the system to allocate 3gb to any application.. but to my knowledge that's the best you can do.
 
Just bought a laptop for the wife & it came with Vista. After taking all the useless crap out of it & trashing Norton for AVG free, it's not half bad.

I highly recommend this company's programs, if you're using XP or Vista:

I've used Tweak XP pro for years. Fantastic stuff. I'll see how it does with Vista in the next few days.
