Vista IS A PROGRAM FROM HELL

by Godarmsaround Jan 6, 2008 7:07AM PST

UPGRADING YOUR COMPUTER TO VISTA NOT GOING TO WORK DO TO YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE ALL NEW ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT AND OR PROGRAMS THAT MOST WORK WITH THE NEW AND SO CALL IMPROVED VISTA PROGRAM. MOST BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES, MAY BE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN VISTA.

CHECK THIS OUT YOU RECEIVE NO FULL PROGRAMS LIKE WHAT XP OFFERS.
BY THE TIME YOU PURCHASE ALL THE PROGRAMS IN WHICH YOU RUN ON YOUR XP UNIT.

LET SEE:

A FAMILY OF FOUR FULLY PAYED REUNION PLUS ROUND TIP AIRFARE.
Down payment on a 1900 used vehicle.
Baby sitter for 2 months.
Utilities for 2 months.
Gas for transportation to and from work, pick up the children from after school activities, etc.

"YOU RECEIVE NO FULL PROGRAMS LIKE WHAT XP OFFERS"

XP doesn't come with any "full programs" beyond Windows Media Player, Notepad, etc. Such is normally added by computer manufacturers, though, along with trial versions of software to make their systems more appealing.

Have you tried running your software in Compatibility Mode?

P.S. Please don't type in all CAPS...it's considered shouting and makes it harder to read.
