If you don't have sense enough to know what Microsoft Office is, or you
don't have sense enough to figure out if Microsoft Word is included in
Vista, then, praise the Lord, why would anyone trust your judgment of
Vista?

What a dink!

"however vista normally does not come with office."
Windows Vista NEVER comes with Microsoft Office, the same with all
other Microsoft operating systems.
Some computer manufacturers bundle Microsoft Office, Works Suite, Home
Essentials or other combinations with the computer but that is not the
same.

you are really stupid or are you just trying hard to persuade me that you
are?

If a computer is given to the purchaser with vista and office preinstalled
then
"vista came with office"... I am not implying that one is connected to the
other in any other way
other than they are both installed on ths pc at the time of purchase.

but as I said vista does not normally come with office, and I explained
that.

Plenty of mattress stores include sheets when you buy a mattress. Does
that mean mattresses come with sheets?

"you are really stupid"
Good for you.
You discover you said something wrong again and you are unable to
response without an insult.
Your need to insult reflects on you and says nothing about those you
insult.

We were forwarned by Microsoft that this would be a major change. With that
in mind, before I even loaded Vista onto my computer, I loaded my mind with
knowledge about it... how it worked, where it was different, where the things
were moved to or what they were renamed.

You can test drive Office 2007 right from the site so you could have
explored and prepared yourself to use the new program.

Your fustration is your lack of knowledge. Computers are just
that...computers. We are the ones that have to make them do what we want.
It is like getting into a new car, you have to find out how to adjust the
seats, where to turn on the lights (hopefully before dark) and where to put
in gas.

The sounds of your screaming and kicking about your fustration does not
belong on this board but rather in the timeout corner reserved for small
children.

There is no excuse for bad quality from a giant like Microsoft...

vista should have been superb in every aspect, so good that it would be a
great pleasant surprise to everyone...

it has been a surprise now.. but one of horror!

Seems that "quality" is a pretty subjective term, and in your case,
completely redefined. I find it not at all surprising that that you have
been labeled a troll.

the people who think I am a troll have little understanding of who I am.....
They like to put stickers on people.

Sorry I am far to versatile and complex for that....

A troll does not care about people, nor do they help people.

All they care about is themselves and to create mischief...

I am nothing like that.

We know exactly what you are.

In a word...you're a 'simpleton".

You are exactly like that!

To add a little:
A troll makes accusations about people such as calling them a liar
knowing there is no truth to the FALSE accusation, as YOU have done.
You seem to care little about truth when it goes against what you
want.

Hate to burst your bubble but messenger is an abomination. Used to work fine
up till last year.Now it wont even open before it closes. Theres no point

it worked, beat skype and voip handsdown.
All the best,
Cos.

It makes me feel better to read all the negative comments because I
absolutely HATE Vista and if I could return my computer and get my money back
I would. Can anybody help me as far as word processing with Vista. I do not
want to buy Office Point or whatever it is called. I just want tried and
trusted Microsoft Word and I can't even figure out if it is in Vista. Help!!

I feel that Windows Vista's start menu is not very good as when you go to
"all programs", it does not brach out all softwares and its components like
that of Windows XP, thus making it difficult for people who are not used to
using the "search" function on the start menu. Also, Windows Vista can barely
run on 1GB of RAM if it is using integrated graphics as only 20+ MB of the
RAM is free even when the computer is doing nothing. Running Windows Vista on
1 Gb of RAM is like running Windows XP on 128 MB of RAM. I think that at
least 1.5 GB or RAM is needed for Windows Vista, better still, 2GB of RAM. It
is also common sense that Windows XP requires at least 256 MB of RAM to run
smoothly. Microsoft thinks that the Aero transparency effects alone will
attarct people to buy Windows Vista. The Aero effects can be easily achived
on Windows XP with Stardock WindowsBlinds and Stardock's Windows Fx. These
softwares cost only US$19.95 rather than the cost of Windows Vista. Looking
at all these setbacks of Windows Vista, I feel that mainstream suport for
Windows XP should not end in April 2009, but at least in 2010. There are also
too many editions of Windows Vista, and their name make them even more
confusing. In short,

Windows XP Home Edition = Windows Vista Home Basic
Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2005 = Windows Vista Home Premium
Windows XP Professional = Windows Vista Business Editon
Windows Vista Ultamate is new

I feel that Windows Media Player 11 is quite a good software overall with
all its album art support and organisation of the music library. The only
setback is that it is a processor hogger. It will not run smoothly without a
modern processor and with a mordern processor, it take up lots of RAM.
