Why does Window Vista run like poo?

Question

C'mon Microsoft, what are you doing? You forced us go to Vista when XP is much more stable and more sucure. Vista isn't even worth $25. Nice try though. Maybe I should follow the penguin.

Answer 1

Windows Vista seems to be a fair bit slower than XP, yes. One thing that does it is the visual theme. If you disable visual themes on your computer (which will render the GUI with the classic theme[win95/98]), it should run a bit better. Some other things may be background process that are integrated into the OS. You can disable some of these "services". Check online for a guide.

Most importantly: Many new computers come with TONS of bloatware installed on them already. Getting someone to, or removing them yourself, can really improve performance.

Nonetheless, with all 3 tweaks, I'd still say Vista is a bit slower than XP, but it's no longer as bad as it was before the tweaks.

Answer 2

I would recommend a Mac.

Answer 3

Because Vista is pure c**p, that's why.  Downgrade back to XP.  

Answer 4

Vista is jista mess! Stay with XP. Looks like microsoft has lost its touch. Now it creates junk just to be able to say it created something new. But NEW is NOT good in the case of Vista. They should just end its misery and give everybody a refund. --Yo Microsoft?? Anybody home??? Guess not, they must be using Vista too!

Answer 5

It could be you dont have enough ram I'd go with ubuntu Linux www.ubuntu.com

Answer 6

Linux is the way, it's just that Microsoft enjoy leeching our money with their c**p.

Answer 7

I went to the penguin and never looked back. Linux FTW.

Answer 8

Because nothing man made is perfect, and sometimes, not even close.

Answer 9

Vista came with my laptop. Worked fine.

ha.

Switch to mac, then.

Answer 10

well, your computer may not be very healthy

Answer 11

even windows95 is much faster

Answer 12

Windows Vista runs just fine on a computer that can handle it.  When you install Vista on a computer that barely meets the system requirements and when you try to run old programs and hardware with it that were not designed for it, then you run into problems.  

The exact same thing happened when we switched from Windows 98 to XP.  

Answer 13

Noooo not the penguin!!  Follow XP!!! XPis worth more than Vista.

Look this is the deal with Vista. Vista was created for Luxury. y'know to look nice,not to be heavy duty like XP, and that takes a toll on performance.

Answer 14

All of you have forgotten one important thing! Microsoft has created a new and better window vista. It was released on 2001. Its called Windows XP.

Answer 15

Vista blows and until they fix it I would recommend XP.
