Why they call it Vista

November 16, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Uncategorized 3 Comments

I’ve had a Toshiba laptop for a could of months now running a 64 bit version of Vista.   Loved it until last week, when it suddenly started crashing and freezing up for no reason.   Restore doesn’t work.   All the fixes I’ve tried have only staved off the annoyance, but it still keeps happening.   I have tio hard reboot several times a day.

They must have called it Vista because you get to gaze out your window so much while it crashes and reboots.

Sucks.   I’ve finally gone off Microsoft.   The OS was the last piece of sotware I used by them.   Ubuntu here we come.

Thanks Microsoft.   Your products are unpredictable, heavy and come with no support.   And they don’t do what they say they do which is OPERATE as a SYSTEM.   Sayonara.

    Try Kubuntu instead, nicer GUI imho.
