Default Rant.. RANT.. VISTA.. RANT! ARRRGH!!

Well DONE Erus old chap, on your splendid mentioning of hell. I mean oblivion. I mean.. Vista... *Goes and runs to be sick*
From now on in this rant I will refer to it as "It that cannot be named."
On with the MADNESS!
Ps. Maybe i'll just refer to it as Vista.

VISTA. DAMN. VISTA. Where do I START? Do not let Vista's looks decieve you, friends. Or it's smooth interface. IT IS THE EMBODIMENT OF EVIL. I'll give you an example of a bug I got. Please, feel free to look away in disgust:
Stage 1) I run a game [Typically CoD 4]
Stage 2) Game minmises, and all of a sudden my task bar is at the top and unmovable.
Yes, that really happened, and yes, I cried. To an extent. Okay, I didn't cry. But ... anyway. What is WRONG with this thing?! They DARE charge £50 for it?! Are Microsoft insane? For one, they've released an INCOMPLETE PRODUCT that has to be PATCHED every FIVE DAMNED MINUTES for you to get it to work without errors! And Guess what, THOSE ERRORS ARE STILL THERE.

And compatibility? Don't even MENTION that word in the same sentence as VISTA. It told me that my Vista compatible motherboard was incompatible with Vista. Like What the HELL? And my Vista compatible graphics card. Pleasant suprise. I'll explain what Vista SHOULD say on startup:
"Please prepare yourself for one hell of a ******* up operating system, containing many errors, bugs, and a cool feature allowing you to shut it down. Honestly, that part is the best part*
Perhaps i'm being unrational. The interface is nice. The graphical capabilites are nice. ...That's about it. And unrational isn't even a word. Apologies for that.

And another thing. Don't expect to run anything taxing. Unless you have 20 GB DDR-2 RAM and a Quad-Core processor. Because Vista eats memory like a fat person eats children. I mean cake. It will eat up your RAM quicker than you can say "Wow, look at that, my RAM's gone." Honestly try it. (Saying Wow, Look at that, My RAM's gone EXTREMELY quickly or EXTREMELY slowly does not apply here. I will find and destroy your very being if I discover this has happened.) Processes running: Explorer and the other essential system processes: Memory used 50%. That's on 3GB DDR-2 and an AMD Athlon 4200 2x Dual Core. That's gone slightly wrong I think. I may aswell have no processor at all. Probably help with system performance.

And Vista's improvements over XP other than graphical? Nil. Sure, you get a sidebar. A sidebar that refuses to go away when you tell it to. Even if you ask it really politely. It's like a really rude man. Other than that it's neat.

Just.. when Erus said Vista messed his PC up, he really meant it. I advise you heavily to use caution when you approach this mad man (Both Erus & Vista of course.)
