oh, the cold hard truth: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: james morris Date: Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 11:33 AM Subject: [NetBehaviour] why i'm tempted to delete vista To: [email protected], [email protected]
why i'm tempted to delete vista ------------------------------- 1) I must disable SATA AHCI mode in the BIOS because Vista Home Premium can't handle it. Consequently the hard drives are not operating at full speed. If I don't do this, Vista crashes around 2 seconds after it first begins booting up. 2) I've got no software that makes using Vista worth the hassle. I have two games, Tomb Raider, and Crysis, but I can't be bothered to play them because it feels so unproductive and a waste of time learning how to. 3) Somewhere along the line while Windows was downloading and installing updates, it broke something. While I was fumbling around in Tomb Raider, Windows suddenly decided it had better things to do and began configuring updates. It got halfway along configuring update 2 of 3 and then decided it wouldn't bother after all... it rebooted the computer instead. 4) The firewall and anti virus software crashed and I can't be bothered to keep updating them either. They suck. So does the trial version of the Nero or something media player which does nothing but suck. 5) Because I don't ever use Vista. It would free up some disk space if I were to delete it. 6) It's good to do a bit of cleaning and dump things which are unused. 7) It's been at least 3 months since I used Vista. And I only used it then because someone sent me a Word document as an attachment. It seemed that OpenOffice.org could not read the contents. Turned out I was sent an empty document. ONE NOT VERY GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULD NOT DELETE VISTA ------------------------------------------------------ 1) I might need it for some irritating reason, presently unknown to me, in the future. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
