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.

How interesting!
We all got here by searching for Vista Shit !
For the sake of your own sanity, please don’t install MS Office 2007 on a Vista platform.
I’m pushing as many of my customers as possible over to Linux for basic services. Vista just isn’t worth the trouble and the cost.
Sorry Bill. I’ve had it with Windows.
heh, I got here by tying ‘vista is shit’ in to Google, funny that ;)
Hey I got here by typing “Vista is shit” into Google too. Not surprising, in itself, but surprising how many people have actually had such a negative sentiment as to bother typing it into Google. I usually have better things to do.
Ive already installed ubuntu and have even been seriously considering a MAC. It is truly, very bad. Possibly the WORST interface and user experience Ive had ever from any windows.
I had to uninstall MSOffice 2007 because that was annoying too (although better than the Vista UI I admit) and that has f***ed up my MSOffice 2003 which I have now installed.
Ive wasted HOURS on trying to fix stuff in Vista which wont work. Im sick of it. AND its taking up 15gb of footprint on my 64gb of solid disk drive on my new X300. OH GOD i wish i had ordered XP.
Ha yep, same as, typed in “vista is shit” and here I am….
nothing works! games and all, should have listend to the chappy in the shop when he warned me about vistas unreliability etc.
Anyone ever had a problem where it’s lost any connection to the speakers? Turned on my laptop this morning and it says there aren’t any, done a system restore and it’s still failed…
Vista has broken too many times for my liking, contemplating a change! It may look all fancy but it’s pretty useless. Failure.
Jem: Oh yes…the speakers problem. I’ve had that happen countless times. It took me so long to figure out that i needed to go into Device manager to fix it. And the same with my SD Card reader, It says it’s working properly, but yet i put in a memory card, and no workage. A simple “Disable” and “enable” of the driver in Device Manager fixes it.
Windows Explorer crashes on my daily, I can’t run basic programs without running into numerous problems.
Vista has outdone itself with so many screw ups. By taking away so many features that I came to love with XP. Such as the “Local Security Policy”..where did that go? I know i’ve seen it in the Buisiness edition, but for Home Premium, Home computers are nothing without security. And the simple, “Classic Logon” remember that one guys? It all involves Registry edits to get most of them back. It’s just too much effort to put forth when i can be putting that effort into enhancin my, clearly better, XP experience.
I’ve got a Dual Boot with XP Pro and Vista home Premium. And i use Vista maybe once a month. If that.
2 GB RAM
900 GB Hard Drive
Dual Core Processor.
And it tells me i need more disk space.
I think the programers for Vista spent too much time on the Animations, and Sho-offy effects that gave vista it’s wonderful name, that they forgot something. A halfway descent UI!!
Never mind any of the hardware glitches and whatnot..
Vista is Retarded
And I am very surprised so many people have had the experience they have, to make them type “Vista is shit” into google, and come accross this.
I bought a machine with Vista a few months ago but have just started using it when my XP machine died an honourable (yes, I am English, as is my father) death after four years almost uninterrupted (sp?) service.
Nothing works with it. It doesn’t even come with Nero.
Take heart, though. You have my guarantee that Mr Gates will have a very long and unpleasant experience at the hands of my cousin, Lucifer.
I have only been using Vesta (it is much better as a crap ready meal than an operating system – and I bet Gates has as much a sense of humour as our new dear leader – Gordon Broon) for a couple of days but am being amazed every few minutes at what it cannot do.
I tried to play an .avi file and windows media player (or should that be unplayer) can’t handle it. To quote Bart Simpson “What The Fuck?”
To add to my last comment – I have downloaded and installed VLC media player and it works fine.
Admitedly, Windows Media Player says that it just needs a new codec but with a new machine you should not have to go through all that crap just to do basic things.
I hope that servant Salamander works as a replacement to Windows Explorer (or the weird thing that has replaced it). If I ever have a choice I will use anything in preference to Microshit products. Someday I may have the confidence to move to Linux.
Vista really is a big pile of cack. I’ve worked in IT support for 10 years and this is definately the worst offering I’ve seen from MS so far. I just recently bought a very nice Dell laptop which came with it already on it as the XP option is no longer an option so I thought I’d bite the bullet and give it a go.
Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice OS when it’s working but within the space of three weeks I’ve had to restore it twice, yes twice as MS updates have killed the logon process. Sometimes it’ll have a whinge about wireless drivers but other times not. Simply it’s just not good enough. I could maybe understand it if I was using a clone with some odd hardware in it but this is a bog standard Dell laptop for heavens sake.
I just got this new intel laptop and in 3 days, things are already crashing and i have to now use my re-installation disk to redo it
Vista is garbage and yes, I found myself here by googling “vista is shit”
Oh my fu**ing god!! The seller told my father to buy a computer with Vista because its “modern”! Tomorrow I go to the shop to downgrade on XP. I cant stand this! Shame on Microsoft and evryone who tells us that Vista is good!!!!!!!!!!
I have been using Vista Bussines for 1 month, this is NIGHTMARE. Every day starts slower, except those day that doesn’t start – I see black screen. Many pograms stops working – unpredictible. E.G. today aftert start sound and printer services don’t work. Another funny example – sound in some programs works in other not. Interface nice but also unstable. There is 1 positive asset of Bussiness Vista – You can make DOWNGRADE to XP
I have bought a macbook. Vista convinced me. After the latest Vistashit ‘update’ I now have a $1700 Sony door stop. I used to like blue. Blue was my favorite color. I have now seen soooo many blue screens I hate blue.
My new mac works. It just works. I could cry with happiness. I open it and there it is ready to go in about 1.2 nanoseconds. I now have so much time on my hands. I have this gap in my life where I used to have to struggle with installing new drivers, turning nag screens off and hunting down one obscure box to untick hidden 25 deep in windows so that I could work.
So on this the calmer side of my vistashit woes I would like to offer something to all those who are still struggling…. enjoy:

Wow
Platothefish
“The WOW starts now”, “Join the social”. They really need better marketing terms. But “mobile me” isn’t much better
Well, Vista SP1 compounds the nightmare, you now get an “updated” piece of shit on a stick.
I am amazed how Micro$oft have managed to make in run so slow in inter-stellar hardware, Quad core 4 gigs RAM ATI 3870×2 and its still slow.
Crappest yet from Redmond, and that is saying something…
I have worked in IT for many years. I have also used Micrisoft products for many years from Windows 1 (Yes I am that old).
Windows Vista is the end of the line for Microsoft. It is indeed shit.
It is inferior to WinXP SP2 in many areas. If Microsoft had any sense or dignity or decency they would offer a free downgrade from Vista to unsatisfied customers to XP if they are not satisfied. This is capitalism gone WRONG. I am not a fan of LINUX but I think the only winners here will be Apple and LINUX. This is the end for you Bill Gates (Seriously it is that bad)
I was trying to find out if anyone knows why iTunes runs like crap on every PC I’ve ever seen it on, and came across this blog. Just interesting to me because for all the bad press it’s getting and blog posts like this, my home system running the 64-bit version has never given me a single hiccup I didn’t cause myself; my fiancee’s 32-bit Vista Premium has occasional problems but we’ve most often traced them back to something she did; the media PC I’m typing this on from my living room has been running great, playing every bit of content I’ve thrown at it without problems, until I decided to use iTunes on it of course. Lag lag lag, slow, unresponsive, pile of Apple crappola. I love the iPhone, yet I hate Apple and their continuing desire to make everything as proprietary as possible – yes, even worse than Microsoft.
Anyhow, I’m curious after seeing all these comments from a year ago if anyone tracks back to this and has given Vista another go post-SP1? We’re staying away from it at work most likely, but on the server side I’m really impressed so far with Server 2008. And the code base between Vista and Server ‘08 is neck deep, so there’s another interesting consideration. So any opinions change in the past year?
VISTA IS REAL SHIT!!!! IT IS TRUE!!!! IT IS SHIT!!!! I HATE WINDOWS VISTA!!!! I HATE MICROSOFT!!!!! WINDOWS VISTA IS SHIT!!!!! CRASHING MENY TIMES A DAY, ERASING FOLDERS BY ITSELF, FUCKING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, IT IS EVEN WORSE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!!!!! YOU NEED COUPLE MINUTES, TO FACE HUNDRETS BUGS AND SHIT!!!! VISTA SHIT SHIT SHIT!!!
I decided to give Vista another go after SP1 was released. It exact same as the last 2 times I gave it a chance. Its nice to begin with, then you hit the 2 week period and you get to the point where you snap, stop everything you are doing. Format and reload XP sp2. I use my hotmail account in Outlook 07. The outlook connector did not like vista and never synced properly. Pain in the ass when I had no emails coming in for 2 days not realising that its just fucked. The power management for laptops really shits me. Its very poor on vista and the options are so simple, with not much help from Acer either. Networking is a pain in the arse. I cant connect to printers on XP machines because of driver issues. I cant view Vista shared drives on XP machines. And the whole Network and sharing centre is a joke. Find options to turn things off takes 5 – 10 mins and usualy results in googling. Honestly, I use to love PC and hate Mac but now days. Im actually giving Mac a decent chance because Microsoft have fucked this one well and truly up
I dual boot Vista and XP. 99% of the time I use XP. For some strange reason, which I can not yet work out yet I decided to start using it 4 days ago, what a mistake that was…
…I uninstalled my ndivida GFX drivers as they were old. On rebooting I tried to install my new drivers and it just took so long I thought the installation had gone tits up. So I cancelled the installation and let Vista install them from the updates this also took ages. My patients by this time was very close to snapping.
I tried to clam my patients by shouting every know curse word I could think of at Vista. I waited another minute for Vista to get it’s act together, my patients snapped and my middle finger did the 4 second dance. On reboot Vista gave me the middle finger and did the BSOD dance. Ok, fuck you Vista. I booted into XP and got massive satisfaction when I formatted my Vista partition. After the war I typed Vista is shit into google and found my way here.
