I have been a developer since early 80's. I've been disappointed, and
re-disappointed year after year at the lower and lower quality of crap that
Microsoft pushes on us. But Vista absolutely takes the cake. I've been
running it for a year, and still get frustrated every single day about what a
total worthless pile of crap this is. Why can't Microsoft stop spening money
trying to convince people this piece of trash is good, and spend some money
trying to do R&D and fix this. I'm sick and tired of constant crashes,
lockups, and hanging. This is the most worthless piece of software Microsoft
has ever developed.

Oh, I'm on a Toshiba x205-s7483 Intel Core Duo 1.66ghz with 4Gig Ram. This
computer is one of the most powerful laptops on the market, and Vista
absolutely degrades it to a relic of the 60's.

very peculiar.
I run an AMD 64 bit dual core 6000 processor with vista ultimate and it is ROCK SOLID.

if you are having that many problems I'd suggest looking into the 3rd party program you have installed and using.

Talk to Toshiba.. They are the ones that built you a "piece of crap!" I have
been running Vista business on a core2 duo 1.86 with 4gigs of ram since the
days of the beta's and never a crash,, never a slowdown, never anything that
could be blamed on vista. Many thousands of people run Vista quite well on
specs slower than yours. I would suggest you look to the so called builders
before blaming Vista... Past experience with laptops and anything oem on
computers for that fact to me says "stay away!".. besides is it really Vista
if Toshiba gets its hands on it and changes many things within the op
system. How do we know that they didn't mess it up and now you point the
blame on something that invariably is not the problem. Just my 3 cents and
prepare to get bombarded by many agreeing with me!

Do you have any specific problem(s) with which you need help, or
are you just venting?

What very little detail you included points towards an issue of
incompatible/sub-standard/defective hardware, or device drivers,
incompatible software, and defective/sub-standard wetware.

I have been a developer since early 80's.

You know, that really worries me. It's obvious to everybody, and SHOULD be
obvious to you, that Vista would never have escaped into the wild with such
fundamental problems as you describe. There's something wrong with your
particular machine.

My guess would by crap hardware, or crap drivers.

It worries me that someone who claims to be a developer since the early 80s
is so incapable of working that out for himself.

Are you incompetent, or just a dinosaur?

I have seen a LOT of people reporting the same issues I am seeing with Vista,
on other machines, so that makes me think it is Vista, and not Toshiba
specifically.

Steve, that is my point in frustration. There are so many problems in Vista,
I can't believe it was released. I see the same frustrations and problems I
have on other forums, and co-works. Everyone I talk to has the same
complaints. It's not me dude, it's the software.

I don't know. I am running latest drivers from Toshiba, and all patches from
Microsoft. I have no special (non Microsoft) software installed on this
machine, it is a coding machine, and I install as little as possible to
reduce overhead.
