So I installed Vista 3 weeks ago and been using it ever since.You can see my pc spec in my signature. It worked ok when I had nothing installed.
Then I installed MS office 07,photoshop,Premiere and all the little programs like divx,daemon tools,etc. Then it started to slow down.
Now sometimes it locks up for up to 10-15 seconds. I noticed much more hard drive use than with XP. All programs open slower the first time. I don't care about prefetching,since I don't open the same program ever 5 minutes!!! MS Office 07 opens about 5seconds slower than in XP. All programs work more slower. I mean,this is crazy. The whole system reminds me of Windows ME. It was extremely buggy when it came out,making me wait 2 years before switching from 98se. This is the same thing. All I see is idiotic eye candy,designed for kids.
Professional users need speed and this OS DOES NOT deliver it.
During Kaspersky antivirus scan,computer becomes not usable due to extreme HD use.With 2GB of ram,I thought I'll be fine,but This thing uses 1.2GB just from the start up.I am hitting 2GB a lot throughout the day,making the system EXTREMELY slow.
I turned all the specifal effects off,but it doesn't seem to help. I dont know what to do.
I think I am switching back to XP,unless I can find a way to make it run as fast as XP,otherwise this CRAP is worthless
I may switch,when I'll get a quad core CPU with 4+GB of ram. I can't believe people are buying this OS on their slow computers with less than 1GB of ram. Same,I can't belive Microsoft released this crap to public without full test. What makes it more sad,nowdays all computers already come with this VISTA crap preinstalled,forcing you to use it.
On a side note, for some reason,all my downloaded movies look worse as well. I have the same codecs,but just doesn't look as sharp.
