My laptop came with vista pre installed. Its an awful piece of software! anyone who has spoken to me in the last 2 months has heard nothing but complaints about it!<br><br>My laptop came with the (then) reccomended 1GB, vista uses 750MB standing still. Its very sloooow! I could complain forever about the way it is set up by default to handle files, and nothing works! To be fair, i havent bothered looking into fixing problems as i have zero interest in vista but from day one microsoft word cant find files, file indexing is wonky and driver support is still pretty bad.
<br><br>I wont rant more.. i should be doing coursework and ive found myself in that loop<br><br>1 - read/answer emails<br>2 - stumble through a few pages on the internet<br>3 - contemplate starting coursework, but first... (see #1)

I always use custom or manual partitioning so that I always know where<br>I am putting things, but in your case where the Ubiquity installer is<br>only a six or seven step installer and takes away a lot of user<br>control the installer has to get it exactly right (like Xandros) with
<br>no bugs as it is dealing with people's systems. It does not matter if<br>the operating system itself is a bit buggy as you always do work<br>arounds, but the installer has got to be the best as it can.<br>Installers is a bit of a bug bear of mine (pardon the pun), I don't
<br>mind complex or textual installers as long as it does what it is<br>supposed to do. The main thing that puts off any potential user to an<br>operating system is if the installer doesn't work, they will try<br>another distro after the first or second failure. I don't know
<br>anything about Vista, but after reading what some users think of it,<br>there might not be a great loss to you.<br><br>Gordon<br><br>On Nov 21, 2007 5:27 PM, David Thornton Snr<br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><
