I have been using Vista for about 2 weeks now and I have to say that it is the worst OS from Microsoft that I have ever used. Yes even Windows Me. There is an endless number of problems that I have been having with this crap of zeros and ones. Its as if it knows I want to do something plans ahead to not let me do it. Little green fuckers running around the program just trying to see how pissed off they can get you.
I downloaded the iPhone video and with it was the _MACOSX folder with another copy of the video. We’ll skip the fact that I downloaded the video twice the size that I should of and look to the fact that Vista won’t let me delete the _MACOSX folder. Maybe its a Microsoft joke at Apple but it locks the system up. Not funny.
Another thing is that anytime I wish to move some files from one drive to another it takes forever. In XP it was not really fast to do the same thing but it was a lot faster then this. Then you get a pop-up window (that you get for just about everything) that tell you to hold on it thinking on how long this is going to take. And then just to tease you theres a small more button so you can see how long its taking just to move one file.
Some other things are that the ATI drivers suck. Everything is moved around so you have sub menus of sub menus. Firefox is crashing so much I almost started using IE. The Horror!
Hopefully I will be getting a MacBook soon and then won’t have to come back to crap. Then again OS 10 might suck and I will have to turn to Ubuntu.

totally agree, Ive just bought a new sony vaio with vista and after half an hour of using it I was very disappointed, its slow and crude and there is a popup to confirm what you want to do every 3 seconds, man I’ve just wasted a lot of money. its worse than win95, i am now thinking of installing xps2. I have switched everything to classic mode just to work on it half as fast as i used to on xp. If your a web designer like me then dreamweaver wont even install. I had to copy the dreamweaver folder from an xp installation to get it to work. tut bill, think again. never again will i buy a new OS that hasnt been out for year or 2.
Well, I just keyed in ‘vista shit’ into Google to see where it would take me and here I am.
I have just spent the best part of this Sunday trying to get Office 2003 installed and working in order to migrate one of our users from an old, dying laptop and here I am just about to throw the damn thing out the Window.
The new laptop is running Vista Home Premium and I have probably had it hang about 5 times, I have rebooted about the same amount and still Outlook won’t run without popping up the installer utility every few seconds. I hasten to add that this is a fully licenced, legitimate install and I really think it would be quicker to scrub the disk and install XP Pro.
Microsoft’s Knowledge Base tells me to uninstall and reinstall Office – ha, that crashes – OK, try the installer cleanup utility – ha, that won’t run (VB error).
Total Shite. I want six hours of my life back, Bill.
Vista = Sucks, Vista = Shit. You decide.
I can not believe a company would dare sell such an inferior product.
Microsoft should publish a list of just what actually works with this train wreck. The list of what doesn’t work would be much too long.
So far, a lot of hardware, and much of the software I’ve tried doesn’t work. I’m talking about new stuff that’s supposed work, but doesn’t.
Oh yeah, did I mention blue-screen of death?
Dante was not cognizant of another circle in his Inferno – the 11th one reserved for Bill & Microsoft. The worst punishment is reserved for them- all will be chained to work stations run with Vista!
The bright spot in this bleak-scape is I’ve made the leap to Linux. Take courage, fellow pilgrims. Our Deliverer shall come out of Unix.
Guys I can only sympathise and empathise. What a load of cr*p Vista is. Internet explorer keeps crashing, vista won’t install – in fact its worse than that it gets to a point where is installing and just when I expect to be asked for the license key everything disappears – so it doesn’t even tell me that it won’t install.
My system is a quad core with 4GB of RAM – Vista practically makes XP2 look positively high speed.
Shame on you Bill Gates
PISS.. i just bought a $700 doller desk top and it came with vista.. i dident think it was too bad at first besides getting usedto the whole layout and damn thing that pops up telling you pointless shit
AND NOTHING CAN DOWNLOAD TO VISTA!!!! my camcorder cant run on vista and sony that makes it dosent even have a driver for vista
so why make a program that is a pice of shit that you cant download anything to or run anything on!!!!
would rather use windows 98 than vista!!!
Haha, I typed in “Vista is shit” in Google as Windows Explorer crashed for the 1000th time as I try to copy some photos off of an SD card. And here I am. People want a stable OS that provides basic functionality that allows others to build on it. The OS has to be rock solid. Why, oh why, has Bill given up? He was driven, he had a vision, and now it is all about $$$ and not about providing something excellent to a consumer, to allow people to do more than they ever dreamed. So sad to see the Microsoft vision turn into this.
Can’t get any work done since vista was released :’(
Hardware drivers aren’t being supported properly since vista came out, gaming has been killed, tasks are slower, the interface is innefficient for hardcore PC users, aero is a pointless use of processing usage (a gimmick), i get prompted every 2 seconds about how dangerous it is to open my own files, and it even tells you that you have no priviledges over you own computer… and so can someone tell me why should I be happy about vista ?
Ha, I typed “vista shit” in google, too, and here I am. I cannot believe this product was released with such basic bugs particularly in explorer – all I want to do is copy a file. I plan to revert to XP, the best (relative term) Microsoft OS, in my opinion.
Amazing – I typed in Vista’s Shit into google in frustration and ended up here. Just installed the Vista SP1 into a system and now says it has lost the trust relationship with the main server. I haven’t come accross one corporate client that would consider touching it for 2-3 years. I think any IT department that would take this on would need to be very courageous or stupid. It is a shame a company with such a monopoly can think it can churn out a product to market with so many bugs. Obviously the SOHO market are by default the beta users for Microsoft Vista. Extremely bad product, marketing, hype, result. It is ashame the Commodore Amiga didn’t continue it was light years ahead of anything else on the market just marketed and positioned wrong. Should have been positioned as a business computer rather than a gaming computer. Unfortunately we have to work with Vista to test our software against for the poor soles that have Vista installed.
What a load of crap vista is !!!!!! I used it for 10 mins and decided after it would not load a basic zonealarm fire wall to return my nice new ACER laptop and vista to point of purchase tomorrow…..talk about your ‘negative out of the box experience!!”…..I will stick with my old laptop with XP2SP2 which does work!!!
yes, vista is shit !
Too many security questions
(you have to untick a box in the control panel to stop this)
Firewall is shit and everything else is very slow and very annoying
i feel lost using vista
hides all your internet files and activities.
I’m running home premium edition with the all very latest updates. It’s not worth it
Give me xp anyday
or even 98
Commodore Amiga?!? Put down the crack pipe! Atari FTW hehe ;) Anyway it makes me laugh when I type “Vista is shit” into searchalot.com and this comes up. The real tragedy is that this crap is going to be all that is on offer for a while when they take xp off the shelf. I think the only operating system micro$haft released that worked properly was my TRS-80 Color Computer Basic lol but seriously I actually paid for my copy of XP Pro and I feel it is well worth the money. It’s got the usability of ‘98 with more stability and scalability. I really think the heydey for Micro$uck was the 98-xp period, ignoring the beta releases of the new millenium (2000/Me) which were released to a date and not ready, as is the case with Vista. XP has the gameability that 98 did and the stability that 2000 was supposed to have had. If windows 7 is another bloatware pile of shit I think Micro$haft has had the sword. There is one good thing about Vista, apparently you can still use a Windows Classic desktop theme ;)
Vista is SHIT! yes … 6 hours waiting for installing service pack .. and another 5 hours waiting for rolling changes back, because update was not successfull; I hate Vista ! But i need DirectX 10…
… and my configuration ?
Intel Core2 Duo 2×3GHz
2GB 800MHz DDR2
1TB hard drives
… not enough for Microsoft Windows Vista UPDATE
How funny that we all resorted to googling Vista Shit- seems to be the final phase of frustration. I too have wasted a beautiful day trying to resolve a “known issue” with outlook remote web access only to be told it is the exchange servers fault! Funny XP works just fine. I was trying to avoid have to revert back to XP version on this new laptop. I had so wanted to go APPLE but needed the exchange server interface for work – jokes on me I guess. What a ton of frustration for something that should be an improvement.
Yeah, I also came here by googling for “why is vista shit?”. Check this out:

vista is plain crap recall this shit..im run a dual core..2 gigs ram ..and dual booted it with xp and id like to take it out and smash it and go buy a real MAC..recall this shit MR. William Gates
Vista to me is a peice of recallable horse crap.
2weeks of vista and I’m ready to get a mac. Microsoft has outdone itself this time. Pissed off have of north america with ME. Vista is pissing off the rest.
Best not want to try to transfer a file larger than a pinhead not going to happen.Best thing they could have done would have been to add some new features into xp and charge anyone a little extra if they wanted them.Vista has become a waste of both time and money.Spent at least 6 hours over the past week talking to vista support only to discover I have more knowledge in my little toe.
amd 2core 4200
4 gig fo 800 ram
600 gig free hard drive space
and told I have not enough memory what a crock of shit
