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.

Im a tech, Ive put up with vist on my laptop for about 9 months now (just go get use to it…. lol).
what use to take me 2 min on xp seems to take about 10 min on Vista, fucked if I know why, its always checkin connectons, bringing up useless warings I ve already set defauts on. Just every thing I do seem to take so long……………… , And my pc is now twice as powerful.. Vista sux stick with XP unless you are a stupid home user then go for it.
What absolutely INFURIATES me about Vista is that it obviously took a huge amount of time and resources to add all the “eye candy” junk (big clunky multi-scale icons, windows that zoom at you rather than simply open, transparent window borders, 2.5D selection of open windows, etc.). This time COULD have been spent making a robust and fast OS. But no. They added the eye candy in lieu of anything that might have been an improvement. What an absolute waste. Did they really think that nobody would notice how often it crashes and hangs? Do transparent window borders make up for all the intrusive pop-ups? Can someone explain what these guys were thinking?
vista is mad shit.
so is word,
specially when you lost your product key and it doesnt work,
and you have bullshit case studies to type up.
grrrrrr
Heh, seems like everyone gets here by typing “Vista is shit” *lol*
When my new laptop came with Vista it promptly started trying to mock me right after the installation. And honestly, who wouldn’t fall in love with that amazing user account control and all those other outstanding(ly crappy) features? So yeah, I quickly upgraded back to XP (well, maybe not so quickly because that bastard of an OS wouldn’t leave without a struggle), but there is still this disgusting vista-sticker on my laptop and it won’t go off! argh!
I so hope Bill, the whole MS crew and MAINLY the designers are gonna burn in Hell for creating this disaster!
Same as lots of other people, I typed ‘vista is shit’ into Google and this was the first page it returned. Had Vista on my new laptop and can’t believe the amount of hassle I’ve had – be it copying files from one drive to another, or trying to check-in to my flight and print my boarding pass in .pdf format (doesn’t work – crashes my browser), or trying to watch visualisations in Winamp (doesn’t work), or trying to get my son’s Webkinz to work (won’t start properly), or trying to configure my wireless network adapter (not recognised), or trying to play Warcraft with the same video settings as my older (slower) XP laptop used to run it in with no problems (non-starter, performance is too slow), the list just seems to go on and on.
I recently downloaded SP1 and thought (hoped – ha) things would improve – but no chance, just the same as before, same problems.
Microsoft, you should hang your head in shame. Many people purchase new computers with this piece of junk pre-loaded without even thinking about it, but after a couple of weeks of use, it soon becomes apparent that there are some major deficiencies.
Same here googled vista shit.
I can only recommend going to http://www.blackviper.com and getting your house in order.
Fuck vista, fuck XP. I have my 98SE on my IntelliStation with 384 MB and Pentium III 700 MHz and it works faster than my friends’ shitloaded slick laptops and desktops. I’m a programmer, web developer and designer. I also work with professional photos. Most people use their machines for internet browsing or writing a simple documents that old Wordpad handles easily . Of course there’s a group of game aficionados who need lots od computing power and they should stick to XP with all crap disabled. Don’t let them tell you that a 2 years old computer is an old one. It’s a piece of fat bullshit to make you consume, stuff their pockets and screw up earth resources (and some other nations on the way).
Yea same here , googled “Vista is shit” .
Even now vista is shit, i installed Linux Mint 5 a few months ago and it is rock solid , stable and great. Use Open office and its great and now im learning assembler on it with a great linux assembler book. Ive also got a book on bash, thats like the old dos command line for any windows only guys and girls. The script in bash is similar to the old basic and VB6, and the assembler syntax is easier than haveing to jump hoops with segmentation in windows. Linux has a flat architecture which simply means it takes full advantage of the processor while windows uses only the 16 bit features of the processors thus segmentation issues.
Anyway Vista is shit and XP is great but Linux is greater. You should try it.
hehehe… this is true… i have had my new laptop (3-year cover on it) for about a month now… and yes, i am pissed off. MUCHLY. i was going to install XPSP2 onto it, but thats an infringement of the cover…
anyway… happy vista-ing, or throwing it off a wall, whichever is funner…
(ohhhh cromagnonXYZ, you are right… and they could store the list on a CMOS chip…)
Vista is not that I hoped,but works fine for me,very stable.But copying files with Vista is a disaster,I agree.

count me into the club, also googled “vista is shit” and ended up here, hilarious. I’m about to throw my user’s laptops out the window due to wireless issues.
I can’t believe they can’t get something as simple as renewing WIFI ip addresses properly??!!! I thought they had figured this out years ago???
**MINI RANT COMPLETED – END PROGRAM.**
similar story, wanted to get it off my chest, typed in google the same phrase as everyone else. Would be funny if I still wasn’t under the strong urge to throw the comp out of the window. The reasons are countless. The trigger in my case was searching for a filename in a folder as if searching in gigabytes of data. 170 files in 5 secs. Total Commander does a job light years better. Did I mentioned it was an indexed location? And my comp is rated 5.6-5.9. Thinking of switching to Mac and leaving winshit for good.
VISTA IS THE WORST OS EVER RELEASED. IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK.
PEOPLE AT MICROSOFT SHOULD BE ASHAMED, THEY ARE STEALING MONEY FROM THE WORLD>
DOWN WITH THE THIEVES!!!!!
AND THEY ARE THINKING OF WINDOWS 7.
MICROSOFT REPRESENTS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF MEDIOCRITY AND STUPIDITY IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.
BSOD 1 minute into first install. Took 20 reboots to install. Even then nothing works properly. Crashes and unexpectedly reboots every couple of minutes. Just not good enough.
Oh my GOD, I spent so much time on vista and couldn’t figure out how to let it do those simple stuff, like how to set an environment variable — you can’t do a right click on “my computer” any more, windows decides to move that option to somewhere else, it is just PLAIN FUCKING STUPID. And it’s slow, I mean sloooooow.
Visa offers absolutely no new enhancements to XP, just piled on lots more graphics and changed the UI for the worse.
I’ve been using Mac for 3 years and I have to say the more I use a Mac the more I realize how SHIT windows is, the only reason I have to use VISTA is because my company forces me to use it, I really really hope Microsoft can just DIE quick so we can be spared of its misery.
I agree with everything. I am fortunate enough to not be able to run vista on my home PC as it is pretty old and has 256MB RAM. I just hate Microsoft on the whole because they try to sell us shit products at premium prices. When will everyone realise that Linux has about a millionth of the problems and costs feck all. Thumbs up to the linux community. Also I am British hence Microsoft prices are about twice as much as in America. I mean who the fuck would want to spend £250 on an OS that can’t do the simplest of tasks… such as run properly. Fuck you Microsoft. Fuck you and everything you stand for!
Howdy Microshit users
As a long time Mac user I decided to get a shiny new Vaio with vista for its blu ray option, thinking I would just use the machine to play dvds and browse the net.
Hey, it plays blu ray just fine (after a ridiculous amount of fiddling) but the sound keeps going on and off for everything else. One day I’ve got computer sound, the next day I don’t.
I don’t have enough time left in my life to devote to this unbelievable wreak of an operating system. S I just have this delightful portable blu ray player, just as I had originally intended. I had hoped to get a functional computer along with it, but, c’est la vie. At least according to MS.
Funny, I’ve heard that vista sales are going very bad and to find out why i’ve typed “vista is shit” in google and this was the very first link.
I’m a programmer and IT engineer and been to IT industry for 7 years now. I have vista on my laptop (which came with it by default). Although i cannot say that i experience often crashes with this OS, it indeed behaves weird form time to time.
1) fresh XP SP2 installation (without drivers, any kind of software etc.) takes about 3.5GB, can be installed to P2 64MB RAM PC and has 27 PROCESSES (this can be cut down to 20 after a bit of tweaking) running. Dunno vista’s minimum allowable PC configuration, but fresh installation uses 16GB of disk space and in my case had 73 PROCESSES running!! (aero was disabled). Dunno if vista and XP count the amount of the running processes differently, but the fact stays – vista was running three times more processes. By tweaking this number was reduced to 40, but a lot of shit of unknown functionality remained active.
2)boot time in my case is not bad at all. After removing a lot of useless shit from auto startup vista boots faster than my XP SP2, but definitely slower then XP updated to SP3. After boot, vista works slower in all modes and with pretty much all tasks. Maybe process priority management is not good
3)HDD operations are buggy and are VERY slow in vista. winrar hangs during moving decompressed files from temporary folders to destination folder regulary.
4)I’ve never been able to get network services work properly. I have to access other computers in my home LAN only by typing their IP adresses in the “run program” utility. Network printers and getting them working is the whole mysterious saga
5)laptop power management is a joke and its settings are even more of a joke. Those are not great in XP, but definitely better than in vista
6)i like the idea of putting all the settings for one subsystem (e.g. networking subsystem) to a one single place. But I hate the realization of this concept in vista. Plenty of “control centers” is not helping and is not making system management simpler and faster. XP has two main utlilities – control panel and MMC for advanced users. In vista i have to deal with control centers, that are integrated into the control panel. I do not see any reason for introducing this additional level of control utilities. For example, network control center is a nightmare.
7)user profile management sucks big time in vista
I’m going to give a 2008 longhorn server a go. The last 2003 server was great and I’m looking forward to try newer and improved version. Hope its management and usage is not similar to vista. Usually, windows servers are much more stable and controllable than their “user” products, and with a bit of tuning they can also be used on home PC’s without any troubles
I just had to, somewhere, make a public statement: VISTA SUCKS !!! (And this blog came up from searching ‘vista sucks shit’ ) I know it’s not a constructive post, but I just needed to VENT before doing damage. Never in my career have I had so many urges to throw a computer against a wall than when dealing with one loaded with this, most bloated, crappy piece of sh_t operating system! Ughh.
FUCK VISTA FOR LIFE. Especially the 64bit version which makes life hell. Stupid errors and black screens of death again and again. Switched to XP pro and everything worked flawlessly especially games. Good god what a piece of garbage. I spent 3 hours trying to get out of an infinite windows update loop which restarted your comp over and over. The thing is…it was caused by an update from microsoft…which is still being sent out to users, effectively fucking up their comp.
