why do people hate vista

Catz_102hahahaha.....laughing so hard at that! hahahahaha...

Yeah sure.
Get to play with your RAM already!

vista sucks because...sigh...lets see now-Eats up a crap load of ram
-Incompatible with most XP programs
-Never shutting the F#CK up about me disabling the firewall
-Rejecting removable desktop drivers that dont even require install
-Crap worthy ability to multi-task
-Bad UI, if your used to XP or something already
-Never saves autoplay options for flash drives and stuff
-Because its vista :P

I hate Vista because I can't play any games on it that are older than it.

I have 10 reason why Vista sucks
1. Its a fucking memory (RAM) hog.
2. Many games and applications are not compatible with Vista (Bought a wireless router at Best Buy, it cost $49.99. Went home and tried to install disc. Could not complete installation. Read the fine print on the back on the box for it to say "Compatible with Windows 98, 2000, and XP). Grrrrrr
3. Took almost 8GB of HDD space to install.
4. Got rid of the fun included Internet games like Checkers, Spades, and Backgammon, and replaced them with absolute crap games. WTF were they thinking!
5. The search function is utterly confusing

6. *insert program name here* has stopped working. (are you serious? comical much?) what happened to the simple "Not Responding"?
7. Security warnings out the ass. Every other action you do makes a security warning box pop up, while darkening the rest of the screen until you click the X or cancel button.
8. For laptops, it rapidly drains the battery. When I had XP, a full battery lasted about 3 hours on the lowest brightness setting. On Vista, it only lases 1 hour and 45 minutes.
9. Its SLOW AS FUCK if you have an older PC (04 and earlier)
10. XP and heck, even 2000 is better than Vista.

There is joy in simplicity.

Called Windows 98.

vista sucks soooo much, there is not much compatibility with programs and games. and games require more ram to run when using vista.

msgTheres always dosbox but I hate it.
I know it only takes a second to mount a drive but its hassle I don't want.One other reason I dual boot is XP doesn't like blank DVD discs it recognises them as cdr and my external dvdrw as a cdrw, google tells me its not just me its because xp was made before dvdrw's were common. I don't know if theres a work around but I like to keep it simple anyway.
I back up all my downloaded games, music, films etc onto dvd discs everyday so win7 was needed.I'll never get rid of XP, when a newer OS comes out I will just get a new PC and have this one side by side, Im not missing out on all the old games.I only used vista for a week at my dads and I hate it, everything takes twice as long to do, my dad even changed back to xp but now uses win7.

Actually you don't ever have to mount a drive in DOSBox. All you have to do is drag and drop the .exe onto the DOSBox shortcut! ;v)
