Software comaptibility of software supposedly stated as compatible with Vista.
being that it was a new computer and ended up with a complete crash in less than 4 months with no use except for shipping software, backup software and virus protection I found it very odd when I had never seen this happen on even ME based comps I have run in the past.

When I first had vista I did see a few software compatibility issues, but now over a year later not a one.

If it has been resolved and is now more compatible without being the resource whore I saw when I used it I will be more than happy to retract my previous comments.
I am not so hard headed I won't admit when I am wrong, but until my experience shows me I am wrong I stick by my opinions and experiences to date.

Yeah not wanting the "Dell quality" and their wonderful tech support...I just can't put my money in a company like that.

Done. To be fair, my argument for Vista is that it's been working very well for me for the past several months. I rarely encounter app conflict issues, and if there is one the application can either be easily replaced by a comparable program. I don't know what exactly you do to have a problematic setup with Vista, for the most part the average complainer does not have a proper hardware setup to run Vista.

now granted I am not impressed with Dell in the least, why would they sell an out of box machine that is screwed before it is even fired up?

Well the purchase of a computer with Vista installed new from the manufacturer (Dell in fact :rofl: ) would seem to make the conclusion that it was properly setup to run Vista and meet it's requirements.

i think you have to research and turn em off one by one
off the top of my head i dont remember any particular ones but i killed at least 10 services
i use vista at work for work and i would use it at home if it wasnt as bloated as xpsp3
