Its sad really all these awesome new gaming pc’s forced to run such a poor slow operating system (Vista) I wish The games would all move to mac os x and Steve Jobs start supporting gaming on his machines. All is needed is support for better graphics

No problems with Vista on my computer…

Yi, I too had a problem with Acer & Vista (although it wasn’t on my machine). Loading Vista onto my brother’s Acer TravelMate 4500 I couldn’t get the operating system to detect that it was a laptop so I got no battery meter.

In fact, the battery showed up as an unknown device. A bit of researched turned out it was a problem mostly Acer specific–although there were a few other laptops out there with the same problem. Both Acer and Microsoft haven’t made any drivers or updates regarding the issue and from what I read this has been an issue since the early betas.

Hmm . . . I will go against the grain here and say that I moved away from Vista to Linux just recently. Vista was okay in most respects but what really killed it for me was the inability to disable disk indexing. I know it’s necessary for the new search functionality to work best, but it insists on thrashing my HDD when I’m not using it. This would be okay except my computer is in my bedroom, and I can’t sleep with that disk noise. (Yes, I know I am a bad person for not just turning it off at night, but I have my reasons.) Anyway, I like my sleep, so Vista had to go. Took me a weekend of work to get Kubuntu Feisty set up just the way I like it, but I love it now. For those few must-have apps, XP runs at full speed using kernel-based virtualization (kvm).

I prefer to stick to my Linux but I do use Vista, grudgingly as it’s Windoze, on our home desktop and to be honest it’s not horrible. It’s just not that good. It is usable however.

Still though, power to Mac and Linux.

Hmm, I’m using Vista in Bootcamp on my 2ghz macbook (Bought it of course two weeks before they were upgraded). I’m wondering is Parallels is worth the investment? The rebooting each time is getting much more painful than I originally thought it would be. Vista works great, but would running both OS’s at once be too taxing? I will be upgrading to 2gb RAM from 1gb shortly.

I just cant use Windows anymore. Ive used it since 3.1 when I was little, and after using OSX for just one year I can never see myself using Windows again, unless forced to.

Most my problems with vista were acer’s fault though there are a few minor things i’ve not yet figured out. I like it but it did take a little tweaking to get it how i want it (5 months).

I’ve warmed up to Visa too. Spending more and more time in it. Can’t commit to BootCamp yet so it sits happily in Parallels
