danielia Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Wasn't there a bug already reported in it and now they are recalling it? Someone told me that at work, but I haven't seen anything reported on it. Can anyone verify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAZE Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I'm sure there are many bugs in it which is why I'm waiting to install it. Sugar and I got a new laptop a few weeks ago but we got Windows Media Center and we get the disc for Vista in the mail. If we would have waited, it would have came pre-loaded on the laptop.But as far as a recall, I haven't heard anything. And they wouldn't recall it, they'd just come out with patches and Service Packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonStephen Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 what makes me cringe is the fact that they released it at 12:01 am at certain stores thinking it was gonna be like the ps3 rage for high school seniors not invited to the prom and 30 year olds still living with their momthey were wrong since no one really made a big deal of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAZE Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Well, finally made the switch to Vista on the laptop and I'm pleasantly surprised. I figured I don't have too many crazy programs on my laptop so there wouldn't be as many compatibility issues as if I were to install it on my desktop. It actually fixed a conflict that was messing up the pointing device on the laptop. There are no problems with the Vista Driver.I love the way it looks and it runs very smoothly. Tons of cool options that I'm still getting used to.I also found Office 2007 Enterprise Edition and installed that and it's great.I recommend you guys check out this site if you haven't already. They have basically any programs you might be looking for. They also have tons of cell phone apps.http://www.ipmart-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=295 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
