| TWRoO said: All I know is setting up my sisters new laptop with vista was absolutely horrible. So much crap came with it that I didn't know what to do with (bloatware) but more annoyingly there is some weird feature that I can't turn off, which brings up a message asking me to confirm that I wanted to open the program I just clicked on... WTF? P.S. I was just wondering when setting it up... what do you do if you get a laptop/PC (non apple) that doesn't have Internet Explorer alredy on it?... I mean I downloaded Firefox for her, but how would I have done that had it not been a standard shop bought thing (all of which have IE) |
The bloatware just depends on the make, apparently ASUS and Sony are bad for this, but it was a long time ago I read that. The annoying thing is a new security feature on Vista, that requires you to gave permission for a program that needs administrator privilages, and you can turn it off, though apparently it's to stop programs needing admin privilages (microsoft hopes they'll be put off by this), and so these programs can't be hijacked or something.
