:badpc: Thats pretty much it...
Yup, Vista sucks. I had the same thing happen to me over teh summer. My Dell died on me out of nowhere, so I picked up an Acer. For the amount of money I had to spend, I couldn't afford to get one in which i could choose the OS, so my new one had Vista. First thing out of the box, without even making recovery disks (stupid), I popped in the XP cd, thinking i would be able to load it and dual boot. I partitioned it and all that, but basically, XP wiped out the Vista stuff, and vice versa. I called Acer like "wtf?" and they said yea, they don't work on teh same hard drive. so, long story short, I'm stuck with Vista. You can actually downgrade to XP, probably just call the manufacturer customer service and they will give you the downgrade license, or atleast thats what I've been told.GauchoMD said:I didnt get suckered into it so much as my last laptop died and, well, all the new PCs come with Vista. It sucks chode...has anyone uploaded XP back onto their Vista PC/Laptops? Does it work? :rattle:
Vista does run considerably slower than XP on the same machine. Vista is quite a resource hog. It is best to stick to XP until vista gets improved.01_XJ said:I do still think that my Dell laptop with the single core 1.6ghz and 1gb ram was faster than this one, which is 1.68ghz and 2 gb ram.
