Virus trouble

I've been using Vista since the day it was released.
I've never had a problem with it.

I don't understand why so many people have problems with it.
Both mine, my moms, and my husband's computers have Vista and we've never encountered any of the problems other people claim to have.

Maybe you got lucky. Or maybe all the people with problems are very unlucky. I like XP just cuz I'm most familiar with it.

I wonder if the reason there have been so many bad reports on it is because
the copyright software conflicts with freeware programs.

Do you not use freeware?

See, Purple's excuse is the only one I find valid from any I've ever heard. People care more for XP because it's what they know, that makes sense.

@Dude: I doubt it, since I don't really know what constitutes as a freeware program.

A freeware program is any program you can download off the internet that you will never have to pay 1 penny for, no matter how long you use it.

The ones I have are...
Flash Player
Shockwave Player
Adobe Reader
FLV Player
VLC Player
BitTorrent
Camstudio
DOSbox
CDisplay
GIFanimator
AusLogics Disk Defrag
UN-LOCKER
Flash Player
ASCII Translator
Bikanel Translator
Jolt3D Game Engine
Firefox
WinMugen (2D fighter)
AND MY SCREENSAVER - LOL

BTW - programs that are free, but provide more functions if you buy a "full" version are called shareware.

examples...
WinRAR
DVD region decrypter
CoffeeCup Editor

Hehe. I think Vista is alrite. Once you get over XP blaugh

I have a pretty old system.. but, I upgrade it everytime biggrin

I have a 2 GB RAM Card. 160+80GB Hard Disk Space [Completely full, btw. Bless those movies whee ] And I am a XP user too xd

I am trying to get a 1 TB hard disk.. Not sure how much that costs. Should put me outta the whole 'Lack of Space' problem!

You can find a 1TB USB external harddrive for $200 at...

But I'd MAX out your RAM to 4GB first.

Since everything gets loaded into RAM, you don't want your computer crashing from lack of memory.

Oooh. Alrite biggrin I guess all my pay till now is gone if I do this -____-
