Top 15 things I hate about Vista
1 - My printer was not supported, even though it came with my PC, when I
bought it. So I had to download a vista compatible driver, & now the printer
may or may not work, when you need it. Same my scanner & tablet. (This is
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!)
2 - It keeps giving dialog boxes that says "USB device not recognized" even
though my printer, tablet, ect. has been loaded with the correct drivers,
that I had to download, because they didn't come with the devices. It also
occasionally says the device "is not" installed, when it decides to work, & I
can go open then the printers/other devices folder & it is there. (This is
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!)
3 - It commonly drops my internet connection, which I cannot get
back without rebooting. I never had to reboot to reconnect with XP. (This is
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING & ANNOYING!)
4 - When I connect my digital camera, or music player, Vista automatically
opens a folder & starts downloading everything that's on them, even when I
don't want it too. (This is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING & ANNOYING!)
5 - Dialog boxes keep popping up, even after I click "do not show me this
message again" (This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING!)
6 - My hard drive seems to be in use continuously, even when the system is
idle. WHY?
7 - Whenever I go to troubleshoot why a device or program isn't wanting to
work, it says it's "working properly" according to device manager, but they
don't
work at all or might work 5 minutes later & it seems to "pick" what program
it wants to work with. (I. E. If it works it might work with word pad 1
minute then 5 minutes later it might not & work with notepad then) (This is
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING & ANNOYING!)
8 - Vista keeps telling me that it's "blocked some startup programs" but
won't let me unblock these programs manually. It also won't let me suppress
or ignore this message, it keeps popping up! (This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING!)
9 - I keep getting program error messages, that MS doesn't have any
solutions to fix them. (This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING!)
10 - I can't open more than one window/tab/ect. on my browsers or messenger
without them closing or messing up. (This is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING &
ANNOYING!)
11 - I can be in the middle of working on something & the monitor goes off
then comes back on & a dialog box/bubble pops up & says "The display driver
failed, & has recovered" & it does this, I'd say 30-50 time in a day. When
the display driver is up to date & Vista compatible. (This is EXTREMELY
ANNOYING! Because when the monitor comes back on I most likly have a messed
up art piece or document!)
12 - It puts downloads & scanned things into whatever folder it wants to,
even though, I've set the folders that I want them to go to. (This is
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING & ANNOYING! Because then I have to search for them!)
13 - It may or may not, run games, art programs, ect. when you need them to,
or they might not work properly, even though they are Vista compatible. (This
is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING & ANNOYING!)
14 - It's hard to find compatible security, other softwares, games, or
devices that are deemed "compatible" with Vista. (This is EXTREMELY
FRUSTRATING!)
15 - It may or may not read burned CDs, USB, devices, or flash drives. with
files, music, photos, ect. saved on older windows versions. (This is
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!)

The bad thing is, in 2007 "ALL NEW PCS, MACS, ect." comes with some form of
Vista on them & I was unfortunate enough to have to get 1 new PC at that
time. I had to have a new PC, I was missing out on a lot of waiting art
projects.
MS if you read this, VISTA SUCKS! You should send out XP on ALL new PCs,
MACS, ect. with the option of an upgrade to Vista. Not just put it on there &
expect it to work right & people love it! It's so full of glitches, & messes
up hardware, software, ect.
