Title: I have come to the conclusion that Windows Vista is a paranoid schizophrenic
Post by: Eel O'Brian on June 21, 2008, 12:11:33 AM: Jesus H Jumped-Up Fucking Christ, you can't do ANYTHING on this fucking OS without going through 20 needless steps

I've been trying to update Openoffice for 30 fucking minutes, but no, some Windows Explorer process won't let me, and if it's not that it's the fucking Data Execution Prevention shutting it down

I turned off UAC, but of course that only leads to warnings every five fucking seconds and doesn't help the other ten hoops I have to jump through just to install a program

I'd love to stomp Steve Ballmers face until there's nothing but a foot-shaped hole

Post by: Eel O'Brian on June 21, 2008, 12:15:02 AM: How do I turn all this fucking bullshit off? And I mean all of it - fuck windows defender, fuck UAC, fuck the data execution prevention, I want it all turned off, it's nothing but a goddamned headache

Post by: Joe Molotov on June 21, 2008, 12:15:28 AM: I think I've finally managed to get everything disabled that warns you about crap and prevents programs from running. It's kinda like getting all the pins out of a new shirt.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on June 21, 2008, 12:18:29 AM: how DO you people have problems with LUA/UAC and the data execution prevention? I've been running like 6 different Vista installs on 6 different machines since day one and have run into ZERO of these issues. what the fuck are you trying to install (besides OpenOffice)?

Post by: Eel O'Brian on June 21, 2008, 12:21:02 AM: i'm just trying to update openoffice, that's all

Post by: Van Cruncheon on June 21, 2008, 12:35:19 AM: blame openoffice for its lack of vista compat; there's a well-documented RIGHT way to update on vista, shame they won't use it

SUN and OPEN SOURCE, sir

Glad I don't have Vista. 8)

Title: Re: I have come to the conclusion that Windows Vista is a colossal piece of shit
Post by: Eel O'Brian on June 21, 2008, 12:51:42 AM: perhaps i was too harsh on vista

it does have a lot of features i enjoy

but the "security features" are just ridiculous overkill

in all the years i have been using computers i've only gotten one virus, and that was just an annoying popup that was easily removed

will edit thread title

In their defense, you have to realize how absolutely distinguished mentally-challenged people are when it comes to computers, and where they go/what they click. Pretty sure they are just covering their ass.

Post by: TVC15 on June 21, 2008, 01:47:48 AM: I have some problems with my notebook, but I think that is Dell's bloatware more than anything. Which reminds me, I need to nab copies of Vista for meself and a certain personal boyfriend of mine that lives in Ohio and is not Matlock this week.

Glass with maximum transparancy is so cool.

Post by: HyperZoneWasAwesome on June 21, 2008, 06:24:15 AM: I wish I could do my Ad-Aware scans without the program crashing like I used to on XP, or run Housecall (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/) and have it work.

Boo-urns on Vista.

Vista has been my favorite OS so far. It's on my laptop and my desktop, with zero problems so far. The only caveat is that I'm not a huge PC gamer, so I'm bypassing any difficulties in that area.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on June 21, 2008, 03:50:06 PM: it's funny, it was working great up until a couple of weeks ago, then all of a sudden vista decided my judgement was not to be trusted and refused to let me alter it in any way

"I'm afraid i can't let you do that, Kevin," Vista stated in an eerily calm voice. Gas began to fill the room.
