Thanks for visiting! “Not that I have a hate-on for Microsoft or anything… but I think this Vista was just a joke,” wrote a blogger at Microsoft-operated Windows Live Spaces website. “Just like (Windows) XP it’s gonna take like two years to work out all the kinks. And by the way, I’m still finding problems with XP!” Unlike the releases of Nintendo’s Wii and Sony’s PlayStation 3 video game consoles in November, throngs did not queue up at stores to buy Vista when it went on sale after the stroke of midnight on Monday, bloggers observed. “In fact, it was kind of the opposite,” a Tech Blog author identified only as Josh wrote. “No one really cared.” Bloggers complained that Vista was expensive and slowed computers that lacked upgraded memory and graphics components. “Your software won’t work,” Chris Pirillo wrote while providing “tips” on Vista in a Windows Fanatics weblog. “Consider that a huge tip.” “Assume that if something works in Windows XP, there’s a good chance it will not work the same way in Windows Vista.” Vista also scanned computers to insure film or music files there were legally copied, bloggers complained. “They can search your computer via the Internet and delete any illegal files including music downloads,” Josh said in a posting. “My privacy has been breached.” Microsoft has proclaimed Vista its most secure and thoroughly-tested operating system release. Webloggers advised readers to put off buying Vista until flaws had a chance to be discovered and fixed. Online complaints included needing to upgrade most old software along with hardware to work with Vista. Major computer game publisher WildTangent has accused Vista of “breaking” many popular computer games. I hope that it is enough for me to prove that “The Yawn starts now“.
Bill gates started a multi-million dollar campaign for Windows Vista called “The Wow starts now”. Reading the headline, you will find that it is actually ‘Yawn’ not ‘Wow’. Many have said it but i am going to prove it for you. Bill Gates just need more money, he gave away millions of dollars for the campaign, thinking that he will earn billions in return. But it is not going to happen. Countries like China,Brazil,Pakistan,India,e.t.c live with Pirated cds. To buy an original Dvd disk(Movies or Games) at the price of $50 (Rs3,000) is too difficult for a common man in Pakistan, how can he buy the Basic version of Windows Vista for $200 (Rs12,000)?, atleast i am talking about the basic version but the higher versions for business and enterprise cost as high as $400 (Rs24,000), twice as much as the Basic version. To upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista you need to pay them $100 (Rs6,000) , In Pakistan this will not work. We have Pirated versions of Windows XP, how can we uprade it to Original Windows Vista, yes we can but we will have to wait for a miracle to happen.
By the way if you have a Pentium 4 like most of the people then forget Windows Vista, because it will not work with this old system,many people don’t know this. The shopkeepers keep selling the old P4s and tell the people that they are the latests. In Order to run Windows Vista smoothly you need a minimum of 1gb ram (actually it is 2gb). You will need to upgrade the whole system to make Windows Vista work. Who will waste so much money upgrading their computers for only Windows Vista. They can search your computer via the Internet and delete any illegal files including music downloads. If you have important files and they are detected illegal mistakely,then think that your file does not exist any more. Users have stored credit card numbers and passwords, it means they can access it. If a hacker gets to know the secret code to unlock this feature, then wait for the service packs or a new Windows. Now this is one of the Big flaws. The whole of Pakistanis download musics online and now it will get deleted when you use Windows Vista. While Microsoft is gearing for the successful release, people around the world are busy writing the complains. Few are given below,

Interesting blog…however i am forced to state the obvious:
Pakistan sucked yesterday, it SUCKS today, and it will SUCK tomorrow!
I basically hate Pakistan. Well, in all honesty, I hate India as well — but at least the Indians are not killing their own people like Musharraf does in Northern Pakistan. At least India defends its own borders…Pakistan lets America do that.

Well my friend, you are completely wrong. The people musharraf is fucking in northern pakistan are the talibans from afghanistan. And they are landlords who say that they are independent from Pakistan. To teach them a lesson, musharraf needed to fuck them. Americans are not defending our borders. Looks like you went on the border and saw the american defending it.

Hey good work! Keep it up. BTW, don’t bash Vista. One can buy Home Premium for 10,000 to 16,000 in Pakistan. It’s almost same price as Windows XP Pro here. I will buy it if I need to, not a Retail kit but an OEM since they come cheap. You should check online prices of OEM, they are very cheap. They do need to control the OEM prices in Pakistan which they are not doing.

True Vista slows down computer a lot. Nothing much of new features other than the Aero interface and f***ed up security.
I suggest stick to Win XP professional, atleast for some more time, till the general hardware becomes compatible and powerful enough to run vista.
