Quote - "They put Vista on NEW machines WITHOUT THE CAPABILITIES TO HANDLE IT"

Melikia, this has absolutely nothing to do with Vista itself. It's not Microsoft who puts Vista in these machines. Continuing with my previous analogy, it's like blaming Ferrari that their cars don't run because a car stand is selling Ferrari without wheels.

Quote - "and my OPINION still stands.  Vista blows. "

Your opinion seems to be based primarily on one single bad experience caused by a bad installation of Vista, done against Microsft specs, not by a Vista problem itself. As far as I understand, the rest of your opinion is based on hearsay. It sounds interesting to me how your opinion, although not strongly supported by any concrete personal experience, seems so strong that you feel the need to use so many caps.
