there is something worse than slow?

man it cannot run well on 1gb DDR2 667mhz machine with a core 2 duo 1.73ghz

open a browser , word, wlm and you find one of them under a white screen that u can do anything not responding

A. Yes, there is something worse than slow. It's called suck. Missing features suck. You can fix "slow." You can't fix suck.

B. Speaking of slow, your computer is a netbook, or a very slow laptop. You can fix it by buying a new one. Thus, your slow problem will be fixed. However, without a modern OS, your PC will always suck. It will be good for running apps and games from 4 years ago. However, it won't do well if you plan on using it for things besides MS Word and surfing the net.

In other words, with a good computer(400 dollars will do it), Vista isn't "slow" and truthfully, even when gaming, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference in speed.

However, your games would look worse without Vista, and possibly not run at all.

Look, I'm not here to defend Vista. Honestly, it is a little convoluted for most casual users. However, entheusiasts and builders shouldn't still be using XP. You lose a lot of stuff and get no percievable benefit.

its a core 2 duo dude. 14'1 HP pavilion DV 2000 vista it' just a memory hog.

i use to program at my university.

and you can fix missing features. actually windows is missing features, like multiple desktops,  advance package manager , and icon, skin customization linux have.

so that means vista sucks?
