Vista Trouble? - New word from Toli Cefail gives comic relief!

Vista troubles? For those of you unfortunate enough to be caught up in the Vista guinea pig trial (i.e. me), I have a new word for you "Vista-fied".

I've been "Vista-fied" for several months now since my main computer's power died and I was forced to buy a new one with only one day's notice.

Of course the store only had computers with Vista pre-loaded, so I had to buy one. I tried to revert back to XP. I had the hard drive wiped and XP Pro re-installed, but HP, who is undoubtedly on the Microsoft payroll, refused to give us drivers that would enable the install to be completed. So I was stuck with VISTA :-(.

They've done some updates so most of my programs are working okay now (after 3 months of hell with almost nothing working). But I'm still Vistafied on a regular basis.

So the next time you're using Vista & it slows, crashes or locks up your computer with that madenning circle spinning, just say, "pardon me, I'm Vistified."

Cheers.
Toli
