Dear MS (Bill)

Can I get a refund on my copy Vista?

I hate it. Its slow, locks up and does things I don't like.
An OS shouldn't do that.


I just want to run applications as fast as possible. Thats all.
I wouldn't install this bloatware on my work machines unless I
wanted to loose my job and was looking for a way out.


I bought Vista, my stoopid, I know.

VISTA isn't slow if you are running the right processor and an
appropriate amount of memory for the applications you use.

Bet you're not.


Apparently not. I have 1 gig of mem, I think you suggested at least 2.

Holy crikey.

My Gateway should have never come with it pre-loaded.
(again my fault)

I figured since it was on there, it should like...be fun/exciting to
use. Its like
trying to run a marathon with your shoe laces tied together.

Memory is cheap. Find out what you have in there and add another stick
or two so you have 2 gigs. Were you aware that VISTA with the proper
amount of member does a better job handling several open apps
simultaneously?

I can run Adobe Bridge CS3 and Photoshop CS3, working on photos, and at
the same time run my web browser actively, along with my email program,
and my word processor, and switch between the apps almost
instantaneously. If I also try to burn a DVD at the same time all these
apps are running, the slowdown is noticeable but management, and none of
the apps crash.

Try that with XP.

Plus, even though VISTA 64 is way ahead of its time right now, there are
some great new apps coming that will take advantage of it. As soon as
some start appearing, my current desktop will become a server and I'll
build a new 64-bit box.


Cheers.



Harry,
I thought you said you sold all your digital cameras and was only going
to shot film
