I have to give Slurpy over at NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=239404) credit this for one, but it was so fucking funny that I thought it'd spark a neat discussion over here...

Why the hate for Vista?
-
have you ever used Vista?
XP is an upgrade, not a downgrade!
-
VDF unite!
-
I've never used Vista but I do like XP.
-
BAHAHAH That should be on Leno's headlines!
-
Vista runs great for me, maybe some of you are distinguished mentally-challenged fellow-o
-
I didn't see THAT post coming!
Next up: Prole!
-
Well gee, I use my PC more than most of you and here I am! No issues for months upon months. What the flying fuck am I supposed to say you gafatar wearing distinguished mentally-challenged fellow
-
You don't have to be so condescending. :(

HAW HAW HAW
Seriously tho. I dont have issues with Vista. I use 3 different machines with it daily, 2 desktops, 1 laptop. One of those I use for work, two are for games and whatever else. Truth be told I have a laptop I use for work with XP SP2 installed and I dont have problems with that one either.
So wtf kids. wtf.
-
I've never even used Vista. :-[
-
I use it so much im getting the same effect from going from my Vista machine to XP SP2 machine that I got back when going from an XP SP2 machine to a 98se machine. The older OS just feels EXTRA old for some reason.
-
Ignorance is bliss!
I still like how it says FREE DOWNGRADE! That really doesn't make sense at all. :lol
-
HP Compaqs are pretty dumpy looking compared to the pavillion line
-
My home desktop is a Compaq from like 6-7 years ago. It looked dumpy back THEN.
-
I had a Compaq P90 in high school, what a piece of shit nightmare that was
-
Well thanks to manufacturers and their slow speed of developing proper vista drivers, the first 6 months after Vista release weren't OMG awesome
-
HP is pretty good about what is pre-installed imo. Usually I just wipe a machine right when I get it with my own vista installation anyway. Im not a big fan of personalized drivers and recovery applications. Most of the time personalized drivers will perform slower than those straight from say..Nvidia, for example.
Im sure XPSP2 STILL has issues, but thats the burden of extreme compatiblity.
-
go back to sleep!
or is it not time for sleep yet
oh god I have lost touch with America
-
YUOU ARE NOW IN FRANCE LAND! LIVE IN YOUR BLACK AND WHITE OFF-CENTER WORLD!
-
vista runs ace on my laptop. i see no problem with it.
-
Im sure there's some arcane stat crap power users could bring up, but you can do that with any OS
-
Vista looks pretty, that's all I can give it.
It's pretty damn bad whenever Staples is fucking advertising that Vista sucks, so they can give you XP instead.
-
Oh bloodwake
-
I don't have any computing problems other than VS2005's HUGE HONKIN service pack that is is the size of my johnson.
-
I only reason to use xp, for me anyway, are for compatibility issues for programs that no longer get support anyway lol
-
That can't be real -- nobody in a marketing department would ever put the word "Downgrade" in an advertisement. What store circular is that supposedly from?

LOLZ Vista spec'ed into Arcane.
-
haha I love WoW :(

Yup, me too. For me, it's mostly about games. Some games just run like crap on Vista.
-
Oh wait, it's from Staples? MAF heartbroken :maf
-
Nah Staples was pretty dumb about things sometimes. All companies have their issues
