I have a question or maybe a comment. I have a computer that has a
performance rating of 5.8, from my understanding is pretty good, I am
running vista ultimate 64. I have a reliability index of 9.29 or
something around there until I try to burn a video file to a DVD or play
Spider solitare and try to exit with out saving score or game then
system locks up. solid lock up, the only way out is to hard reboot.
Nothing shows in logs as to what happened. The reliability score drops
because system was shut down improperly, My comment it doesn't help to
say I have a computer that meets Microsofts requirements but is it
really not any good? It is fine till until I use it then it locks up
and is totally non functional is rather misleading. Is anyone else out
there having similar problems.

That is what I was thinking not what I typed. Vista what ever flavor has
lots of stuff as bait and as reinforcement for going there but really no
substance. An operating system that passes with a pretty good score on
performance (5.8) but does not perform, or is pretty good in the
reliability index (9.29) until it is shut down because it was non
functional really is false reinforsement and hype. I would much rather
have a scoring system that really reflected what the computer could do.
Thanks for the response. I really am tired of being lied to. If I screw
up I admit it what gives.
