Also, no one told me of the problems either when I purchased the computer at Office Depot...shame, shame on them!! <br>     It's just been a nightmare for me.

I bought a new note book computer in 2008 and it had Vista on it.  I have had no problems with it.  My last computer had XP and I was having a lot of problems with it.  Granted, it took a little while to get used to some of the Vista differences, but I have had no problems so far.  I do agree that if  they are going to keep changing things on us, problems or not, there should be a free update or replacement in the works.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Roy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 2:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Vista 'Most Disapointing Tech of 2007']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[Same here, Couldn't say it any better,bought mine at<br>best buy, Question the vista issue.

Obviously your spell-check doesn't work.  I have two computer one with Vista and one with XP and the applicable Microsoft Office software for each.  It is beyond my understanding why modifications were made in the basic operating design and format other than to confuse and make the user's life difficult.  Microsoft should replace, at no charge,their useless software --- Vista and 2007 Office --- or perhaps we should launch a class lawsuit?  Terrible product(s) design that should be trashed.      ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[WALTER REED]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 3:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Vista 'Most Disapointing Tech of 2007']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[Walter, I'm with you on a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for Vista and/or HP.  I have an HP Pavilion m9000t.I bought it last year. It was touted as one of the best. My problem is that I can't tell if my issue is with Vista or HP or both not being compatible. I have spent an extraordinary amount of time with online tech help, phone tech help, and my own troubleshooting. If something works today, it may not work later in the day...software and/or hardware.  The USB ports are usually not working, my microphone doesn't work with it (it works on my XP OS computer), my webcam which was supposed to work with Vista- guess...doesn't work-well I get a lovely picture but no sound when using Skype. I recently purchased a Mac Book, (I finally got the message) oh, how I wish I had listened to the person who told me to buy a Mac desktop. Keep me posted on a class action.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Charli]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 5:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Vista 'Most Disapointing Tech of 2007']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey, I'm for the class action lawsuit!

A lot of programs will not work with Vista, not only that, when Microsoft sent upgrades for Vista, my computer crashed trying to do the upgrade, I'm am so pissed off about this, not only did it happen to me, it happened to my sister's lap top, and she only had it for about a year.  I had to take my computer in to get it back up and working.  I made a back up disc when I first got the computer, and it would not put the system back.  I am still having problems with this computer, I hate Vista, it's a bad operating system.  My sister is still trying to get Microsoft to help her get her computer back up and working.  They need to get rid of Vista, and go back to XP, it's a better system.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Yvonne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 4:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Vista 'Most Disapointing Tech of 2007']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[Vista isn't even half as good as XP.

It boots faster and more reliably than my previous XP or 95 OS systems. It has exhibited no compatability problems with any application software or accessing on line sites.

Are you kidding me?? We spend this kind of money and get help from noone!! WHo stands behind their products anymore?? I think even the BIG companies are just out to make a buck and forget all about the consumers!!  I cannot even find a Vista update to download that will help with my problem!!!  Because my computer will NOT upload the current and crucial updates that are out there now,  my system continues to tell me reconfiguring or re-verting back because it will not accept the updates!!  Then the computer will shut down right in the middle of any interent browsing if I have not attempted to update the updates!  I've only had it 1 YEAR!!! SO frustrating!  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 4:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Vista 'Most Disapointing Tech of 2007']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can relate, I just purchased a laptop computer with the Vista operating system also.  The same day I opened the box and set it up I found that I could not access my AOL email account.  Browsing the internet for other things was not a problem but every time I logged into AOL mail the system froze up.  After a long call to Sony for tech assistance and then another long call to Best Buy, I was told by their Geek squad that it was a software issue not a hardward one.  They told me that they could fix the problem for $178.00.  I was outraged.  I told him that I did not spend $1200 on a laptop to only have to spend another $200 to fix a problem I shouldn't have.   Absolutely crazy.....I've had to resort to using my crappy and very slow desktop to continue to access my email.    ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lorraine]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 5:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Vista 'Most Disapointing Tech of 2007']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[vista sucks it  not what is was suoopse to be  and  finding thing on vista is really bad i hate it and i hope they dump it fast and go back to microsoft ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dora]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2009 4:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Vista 'Most Disapointing Tech of 2007']]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/vista-most-disapointing-tech-of-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just purchased a HP Pavilion with Vista.
