Why does everyone say Windows Vista is bad? What's wrong with it?

Question

Also, what PC company is best? (Vaio, HP, Dell, IBM, etc.)

Answer 1

There are many message boards with reasons why people say why they think Vista is bad.   They range from, MS wants too much $$ for the product, DRM is more strict with Vista, it installs spyware on your system to MS decided to stop selling XP.

When it was still under the Beta, I tried it to see how it performed & at the time, I even didn't like it, mainly because of the programs that run in the background, had to run in the foreground.

Personally, I have it installed on 2 of the 3 computers I have at home (the 3rd one, I have to keep XP on due to the fact, a couple of programs I use are not Vista compatible) & so far I have noticed a speed difference (faster) using Vista then XP.

However overall, I would have to say that I never really had any issues with XP & so far, I haven't had any problems with Vista either.

For which PC company is the best, I am not sure as I tend to build my systems from Scratch.
