Fed Up With Vista??

[Freshair]

How many of you are fed up with Vista, and plan to upgrade to Windows 7 in October when it is released.

How many of you have a backup from where you purchased your PC with Vista installed, that will upgrade your PC to Windows 7 as part of your purchase agreement?

I purchased my PC from Future Shop October, 2008! I have been totally FED UP ! My old failing PC was less frustrating than my new one, and the new one doesn't even perform any faster than my old failing one.

Really would love feedback on this problem!

have you tried windows 7 rc??i have myself and what it claims, speed etc wont happen,its fast because not many sevices are running, when you install all the software you use it just as fast as vista ie-slow,it.s more like a dvd/music maker than an OS,plus its ultimate, and preinstalled are gunna be premium at the most,personally i thinks they've B*lls up again as ive already seen bits for windows 8 on the web,they still cant make an OS that runs smoothly after all these years,tell us what you think?

I think maybe we should all revert back to XP and wait for some new company to come up with an OS that is efficient, fast and also includes a personal, private email program THAT IS NOT IN THE CLOUD!!!!

Does anyone know if it is possilbe to revert to the Windows XP program from a new system running Vista Home Premium but that is also a 64bit system...when their old system was 32bit? Does the OS have any connection to the 32 bit or 64bit systems? I had Windows XP with a 32bit system. I know have Vista with a 64bit system. Can I run my Old XP OS with my new system??

I have had W Vista Ultimate for 2 years with many problems. I had to get rid of my digital recorder that was supposed to work with it, but never did. I have some Vista certified software that that drives it and me crazy (like the jumping cursor in this message) but, I have enough problems and don't trust Microsoft to have fixed the problems in W 7. I'll sit this out for a while as long as I can still do most of my work. I don't need any more aggravation from my computer. There's enough from other sources.

I'll wait. I can always use my xP desktop for some of the tasks.
Isn't summat English slang from maybe Yorkshire? Last time I saw that I was reading an English mystery.

It's really a shame that Microsoft doesn't address this situation with some public help. Maybe some 'genius' wrote the Vista OS...and we are just not up to that standard of intelligence!? If so, a Hands on....Step by Step Tutorial might just clear all this misery up.
I dream about suing Microsoft for mental cruelty and Stress Disorder!

As I write this my mouse is trembling with a nervous disorder caused by my plug-in flash memory drive. It will settle down. It's not the instructions that are wanting but something to stabilize the platform. My xp desktop will not be closed down as long as I own this Vista notebook with Ultimate 64 bit.
I've had a PC since 1982 (Osborne portable with CP/M) and always used IBM DOS. I was disappointed when IBM software folded and I had to go to MS.
I worked in Cornwall on the coast near Bude in 1986 for six weeks. Very enjoyable. Does someone publish a list of all those interesting brit words not found in the English dictionary?
