While I never have any issues with Vista and often get annoyed by people who automatically blame Vista when a problem arises without anything to back it up other than "it happen on that OS" (especially when the problem was cause by the user themselves), I can honestly say you aren't any better than those people. Just because you unable to do something on a particular computer does not mean it an OS related problem. There could be a myriad of reasons for problems to occur, and automatically blaming it on something without a proper diagnostic on the problem at hand will get you nowhere, especially when there are numerous of other people who are able to install and run MS without any trouble on any versions of Win7 - myself included.
so explain why my friend cant install maple on a brand new window 7
[quote=AkGold]no window 7 is just bad[/quote]
explain why?
in my opinion it is the best windows
stable, good perfomance and it looks beautiful
no window 7 is just bad
@xIDyNaMiiTE: i agree it is really fast
but its just the new start menu that i hate, metro is ugly in my opinion(i'm really in love with the windows 7 aero glass effect) and i don't wanna from the dekstop to the start menu and search it all the way for a simple application(like calculator) and then go back to the desktop.
it are the small things in general that bother me but it is hard to surpass windows 7's succes for microsoft
@AkGold: your friend must be a real potato then....
@greenelf: it can fix it, switching to windows 7 fixed problems with my GPU (after switching to windows 8 from 7)
something probably went wrong with installing drivers
[quote=DuckyMe]now i'm considering getting Windows 7......[/quote]
Downgrading to Windows 7 will not fix the problem.
lol vista>xp>8>7>everything before xp
my friend cant even install maple on his window 7
@xIDyNaMiiTE: i agree that the perfomance was a little bit low compared to 7 and vista
but i didn't experience any other problems beside that.
to for me it is 7>xp>Vista>8
[quote=xIDyNaMiiTE]Vista is one of worst OS out there, completely horrendous.
OT: Bring your laptop close to your router, and tell me if a list shows up or not?
Also, have you done any recent updates?[/quote]
can you explain why?
i've had a laptop with windows vista and didn't experience any problems until someone broke the laptop.
but gotta agree, 7 was better
vista works good for me
lol i use window vista and no problem with internet
If possible, considered a wired connection so you'll rarely have issues with internet connection.
now i'm considering getting Windows 7......
it was on sale, and Windows 8 isn't that bad
[quote=MrAhri]Why would you buy Windows 8?[/quote]
new desktops and laptops are shipped with windows 8 by default.
that's why i downgraded to 7
i troubleshooted it, but it couldn't identify the problem...
[quote=coolfire]@MagicHat: Ahh! Ikr! I rage quit and had it returned... Now I'm joining the bandwagon and getting a mac[/quote]
lmfao, that's a huge downgrade
did you accidentally hit the wifi on/off button?
my old laptop had that, couldn't figure out what was wrong and then i saw this freaking little button on the laptop.
or run troubleshooter, this usually fixes network problems for me
it's a Samsung laptop
@BadWolf, no that shows an X over the wifi symbol when you do that
no it just suddenly stopped working
