no new OS, it's Vista + Marketing

LOL, did you guys hear that there's a huge flaw in Vista security that renders its secutity "Completely Useless by New Exploit"?!

Also, my step mother has a PC that should run Windows XP just fine, but it has Vista running on it for god knows what reason. She can't even use a simple MP3 player without processor slowdowns so large, that it stutters when playing MP3s! How's that for bloat!

The bad words are from idiots that don't know what they are doing.

i did never get virus on vista here, but on xp i did.

With proper simple measures that anyone can take and are simple to use, such as firefox + noscript + adblock and a firewall, I haven't gotten a virus in YEARS!

Windows Vista needs no exploit to become useless.


Inf act it can turn itself into "reduced function mode" and lock you out after one hour of usage - no hoax here.

Vista does this whenever the built in "genuine" checker fails the validation against Microsofts Servers.

It does this quite often, if you run a professional network monitor you can see Vista phoning home several times a day, especially contacting the wga-servers and various msn,microsoft and watson ( error reporting ) servers, all owned and operated by MS themselves.

You need not being a criminal hacker that tries to operate vista os without ever paying for the License, in Vista it is quite easy to be falsely accused being a software piracer - a single new driver installed or a bios update can render your "genuine licensed" status into "this copy of windows is not genuine" - and voila : welcome to RFM mode.

What exactly does RFMode :

- The login screen will tell you that vista is invalid

- you can then log in with your password to RFMode

- you will have a black Desktop without wallpaper

- You will have written the "non genuine" message on the screen plus a popup that reminds you to buy a license now

- the Control Panel wont work

- Windows explorer wont work

- Windows Defender wont protect you from kittens

- Windows "Aero" scheme is off, no transparency anymore

- Windows Update will only deliver urgent updates but no bgfixes or enhancements.

- All installed enhancements like Ultimate Extras are disabled.

- You can launch installed 3rd party programs, but no built-in like Photogallery or Windows Media Player

- Your system browser ( IE7 or FF ) will initially launch and automatically redirects you to Microsofts webshop, offering you a new Key for some hundred bucks.

- After exactly 59 minutes of usage, you will be automatically locked out of the Desktop and back on the Login screen where you again can enter RFMode only.


A company running vista - well well.. one button for MS to shut down whole businesses I would tell.

Interesting PR exercise in damage control marketing.

I run Vista on my laptop, can't say I've had a problem with it. I'm also in the process of building a new rig, which I will install Vista Ultimate x64 on.

TBH, I think a lot of the Vista hate comes from bandwagon jumpers. I didn't switch to XP from 98SE for ages, but once I made the change, I never looked back.

I honestly think I'll get along just fine with Vista.

Vista x64 ultimate is an excellent bit of kit

No complaints, no slowdowns, runs perfect.

Anyone who is having major issues like any mentioned above either needs a legal version or a pc with more power than my phone.

I mean why would you install a top end power hungry feature rich OS on a piece of shit? are you stupid?

It's all just bile and vitriol from MS haters
