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.

My son's laptop has 2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm memory and the processor is
AMD
Turion 64 X2 TL-60 (2.0GHz/1MB).

I posed the question of the concerns posted here in a computer forum.
Here
is one of the responses I received from what I would judge to be one of
the
experts in the forum on computers

I had a new desktop built in February loaded with Vista. It's wonderful
and
I am delighted with it.
-----------------------------------
Every time MS brings out new software the prophets of doom and gloom come
out of their comfort zone and start whining. The people who condemn Vista
today are the same people who tomorrow will enjoy Vista and will have
forgotten their reluctance to change. It's no different to the same
arguments made when changing from Windows 95 to 98 and then to XP all over
again.

The main protagonists seem to be conservative and frugal home and small
business users who cannot easily afford the hardware required and large
commercial organizations where such a major change would eat into their
mega
profits.

Take no notice and enjoy it.

Do you see the same trend Harry? Precious! ;-)

Oh, and yes, that *was* so very precious! ;-) :-)

You are really losing it John. Time for another snot nosed brat filled
Disney cruise? ;-)

I would love to.
