Back To Xp?

Vista isn't particularly buggy or unstable, it just fucking blows ass and some stuff may not have very compatible drivers or any drivers at all.

-You can't use a real admin account from a fresh install.
-It takes hours to degay the OS once installed after you finally get a real admin account going. XP only takes a few minutes to degay.
-It applies retarded permissions to the partition it's installed in; so when you dual boot a superior OS like XP XP cannot access many files.
-the control panel has a lot of retarded shit, many easily found vital configuration panels in XP are now in retardedly hard to find places.
-The os suffers a 20% performance loss over XP for fairly obvious reasons. Unless you're some braindead MS fanboi, then it may not be so obvious. It may have been due the fact I was using the 64 bit version, but things like mIRC loaded VERY sluggishly in Vista while it was instant in XP (nearly top of the line pc).
-It suffers from the same non-disableable lsass hard disk thrashing as XP (later service packs) does. What the hell is MS trying to hide here? (You probably won't notice this unless your OS is installed on a loud disk like a raptor - this is on a clean install with nearly all services and annoying background stuff disabled and no programs running) Linux does not thrash your hard disk while idling, why in the flying fuck should XP/Vista?

I could go on and on. I'll only use the OS when I actually need to use it: through piracy. I'd rather shoot myself in the face than contribute to those scammer's riches and faggotry.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I have had little experience first hand, aside from the constant clicking saying that YES I want to install this program, which is irritating.

I've had to go out of my way a for a lot of BS in vista (inluding modifying my bios <3 antipiracy failure) but so far the only program I couldn't run was a bot for some godawful mmo, and a monitoring tool that crashed randomly (fine in xp).

First thing you need to do in vista is disable UAC and get on the real admin account, or you'll be emo fucking pissed fast.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
