Windows Vista Problems.

[trt]

Since I bought my new PC 6 months ago with Windows Vista installed, I have had so many problems unlike I had with W-XP.
I was told today by one of PC Worlds staff that Vista are no longer going to give updates and gradually get rid of it as they have had to many complaints and going to concentrate on Windows 7.

I don't see why I should have to buy W/7 for about £85 because of their cock-up, anybody had the same problems?

I do my best...

No idea. Contrary to popular opinion, my nickname on here is actually my name unlike almost everybody else (including you!), and I have only one profile...

Have to respect that Mr. Rae

What sort of problems?

I have 3 computers running in my house, and two are running Vista (PCs I built myself).

The Vista PCs are used by all the members of the family and they run fine. No crashes, no hangs, no problems.

Vista MAY have been a bit dodgy when it first came out but they have fixed a lot of the problems and I would say it is fine.

It certainly does not deserve the bad reputation it has (not now anyway).

Thanks for the positive and negatives reply's.
I have found out today that I can download Windows 7 for free so I am going to give it a try, it cant be any worse than Vista, I hope!!!.

"download Windows 7 for free"

Errr, where from? you can't download it for free legally anywhere.

your computer probably would have been eligible for the "free" upgrade offer, but that has finished now.
