Default Why is Windows Vista such a P.O.S.

I've run Vista since early beta and maybe I've been lucky but I haven't
had a single crash. I admit that I always said Vista was released too
early - now that has been acknowledged. It certainly isn't, as you put
it, ' a worthless piece of software', far from it. It has had its
problems and those are being dealt with as SP1 was released and also SP2
when that is released.

I also have to say that having used Windows 7 (pre-beta) on a daily
basis this to hasn't even crashed for me and, let's be honest, one
expects pre-beta and beta software to do just that - crash.


I'm with you John. I've been computing since Win 3.11 and Vista home
premium is the most solid I have ever used. I quit XP because of the
crashes. With Vista, 21 months and not a single crash. I remember maybe
3 times I experienced a non-responsive program that had to be closed and
re-opened. I think the problem lies with the individual computer makers
since there are certain manufacturers names that you don't hear much on
these forums. HP is one. Toshiba is read almost every day.
