Tragedy struck
 

My mom got a new job recently, pays a lot more than her old one. So she decided to go ahead and buy a new computer...

It's a Vista PC.

Darwin help her.

at least you've still got your mac.

That's awful. Try and shelter yourself from it if possible. It may be harmful to your health. :(

Pardon my lack of any computer or everday knowledge(Im a PS3 owner remember:D) but what IS Vista :confused:

My old laptop wasnt Vista and was fantastical great sound, great features but my current one has been nothing but trouble and bares the Vista logo.

it's the operating system

She already considered getting a mac and, while she wants one, she admits it wouldn't do her any good due to her job these days.
It's not harmful to my health, my mac protects me. ;)

To be fair, it actually hasn't had any problems yet... astonishing I know. Pretty neat little machine too, like a third the size of most PCs. Tis HP.

<jaw drops to floor> Ummmm......... you don't know about it? I'm speechless, most threads on here mention it! O.o

Superkid, fancy starting up the 'Superkid Flamethrower Fund' to get you to burn that heathen peice of software.

I would try but it would hurt my chances of finally negociating an allowance.

It's starting. Stay away from it. I can see it already having an effect on you.

If Satan existed, Vista is the Operating System he'd use.

Nah, (a hypothetical) Satan would not be stupid. He's use OS X or, if he's strapped for cash, Windows XP.

I guess it would be better to say that Vista is the OS hypothetical Satan would make.

Satan of course being Bill Gates, or possibly Bill gates is far more evil then that.

I actually like Bill. It's not his fault his company got hijacked by corporate types.

Ive heard of it but dont know what all the fuss is about :o
Why is it always knocked?

Because it is not considered very good.

Fair enough :)
Every laptop i looked at seemed to have Vista and i just thought it was the norm.
Sadly i didnt have the internet and didnt ask about, so at the time I didnt have a Scooby Doo it was so unliked.:( Oh well sucks to be me.

Just stay on XP Tardis2008. You may be behind the times, but you will still be better off. Trust me =)

What he means is that it eats small children.
