Why Does Everyone Hate Vista?!

I installed Ultimate 64-bit on my HTPC/download machine last night, & i am finishing installing my normal appz, etc.

I expected trouble, & thus far i haven't had a single issue.

I didn't have to find drivers for a single piece of hardware, aside from downloading the full CCC suite for my X1300.

I installed Vista on my HTPC machine and the only down-side for me is that ATi hasn't released fricken working Remote Wonder software yet. I love my Remote Wonder and don't want to pay some horribly expensive price just to get another remote!

All this means that even if you purchased a genuine licence to use Vista, Microsoft from time to time will REQUIRE access to your computer, will require that you send proof from whatever software, will require that you send specific information that you don't get to see to Microsoft, even if you don't want to and if for some reason it can't or you won't allow it, it doesn't care the software will disable itself.

Uhh they do that now when you try to download certain software (such as getting IE7 on Windows XP).

It's obviously chic to hate Microsoft products.

I'm gonna wait another 6 months, then put on Vista; I get it off of campus agreement anyway.

that's what im waiting for :thumbsup:

Aikouka - try installing the XP drivers. i got my HDTV wonder card to work with the XP drivers, even though there are no official vista drivers for it (i still have pre-RC1 installed )
