Turning off Vista Kill Switch is a good start, but not enough.
 
It looks like many people who did not have problems with Vista are
having problems due to a problem with Vista trying to reverify the OS.

Just because you are not having problems now, doesn't mean you are home
free. Hopefully the service pack will solve the problem

It really is very easy.
Everyone in here uses a computer. Vista has a long history of being a
royal pain in the neck to both professional IT managers and home users
If you haven't purchased Vista already, you probably don't want to do it.

I am not stirring up and argument. It is a link to an article that is
pertinent to most of us, even those who have Vista and are happy with Vista.

Ditto.



How can an article about the problems of Vista cause an argument? If
you have it and are happy with it, that is great. If you don't have it,
this would probably make you think twice before buying it, again, no big
deal. Why would you allow an article about Vista be a reason to get
into an argument?

It doesn't upset me in the slightest, Reggie. I see all manner of
articles about VISTA and other operating systems, good, bad, and ugly.

I am just pointing out that when a computer numnutz like you offers an
opinion on something related to computer operating systems, that opinion
is worthless.

The reason I made the post is because I believe Vista is a disaster, and
I hate to enrich MS, when they build a crappy product, and I hate to
have someone buy it not knowing of the inherent problems. Harry is
going to attack any thing I post, but what he actually does a better job
of warning people away from Vista than I do. His personal attacks will
encourage someone to research Vista before they buy it. Any one who
researches Vista and it's problems will not buy it.

Since your personal knowledge base on virtually anything you recommend

bear a caveat emptor warning.
