Vista's System restore is the WORK OF SATAN
michiyoyoshiku \| 10:53 PM on 08.22.2009	14 comments

one thing before I begin my rant.. THE CHECK CLEARED!

So moving on.

I got my new Laptop Tuesday night, after some hassles. Which are now cleared up.

Anywho after hearing how shitty vista is I was surprised at how well it ran. Some minor annoyances, the Recycle bin vanished then the annoyance of Account protection GOD THAT WAS ANNOYING, I had some wifi issues but I think that was my fault. Also everything went alittle haywire when I left the system in hibernate
not a big deal though.

BUT the worst of all.........SYSTEM RESTORE.......Vista system restore eats hard drive space like Pac Man on a white dot binge......Or Majin Buu during one of his tantrums. Literally everytime I did something 2 gigs of hard drive space would just VANISH! So I had to turn that off.

Still......I don't hate Vista.....YET

I just have to hold out 2 months for Windows 7

as far as running games.... Daytona has never looked better.

It's a very competent gaming machine at least.

BUT I CURSE THE FAMILY OF WHO EVER MADE THE GUTTONOUS SYSTEM RESTORE......MAY EVERY 360 THEY EVER GET COMPED WITH RED RING ON FIRST BOOT

FOREVER!!!!!!!!

Speaking of 360s.... my 3rd one is on the way. Wonder how long this one will last....

the system restore is far from the only gluttonous area of vista :p

That Omegle conversation is pretty lulzy.

What Dao2-skp said. Still, I don't hate Vista, I actually rather dig it. Can't wait to get Windows 7 though.

michiyoyoshiku

I can't wait to get Windows 7 either.

Vista is what the result of OSX and XP having a one night stand.

I think I can put up with VISTA for 2 months though. Besides my roms and emulators I don't store a thing on my computer, everything is either on an SD card or my external hard drive.

I'm overdue for a productive epic blog

Vista sucked 2 years ago. It's fine now. 2 gigs is a very small price to pay for being able to resurrect your operating system from the dead when it boots up into a BSOD (I've seen it happen before). Well, nowadays it's an extremely small price to pay. Most lappies come with at least a 250gb hdd nowadays.

Vista is the WORK OF SATAN.

I fixed your title for you. :P

With every OS that windows comes out there are going to be bugs in the beginning. The only reason that I went with Vista is because of DX10 and better handling of dual graphic card support.

michiyoyoshiku

I fixed it so it won't do that.

BlackSunEmpire

Having had to put up with Vista for the last couple of years, I have to ask, why dont you download and run the RC version of windows 7?? Ive found it very stable. Looking forward to windows 7 for sure, but Id rather run release candidate than vista.
