DONT BASH MICROSOFT FOR OS LIKE VISTA,,IT WAS THE COMPUTER MAKERS!!!
DONT BASH MICROSOFT FOR OS LIKE VISTA,,IT WAS THE COMPUTER MAKERS!!!
- even tho it took 2 years to find out,,vista basic was installed by Acer computers in such a way,,it never worked!! It took microsoft 3 weeks for many techs to find all the bad ____!! More than I can say for Acer!! Microsoft replaced it with a free vista prem in end of Aug,,then worked with me to remove all Acer ____ that made this computer a paper weight!!! So dont bash Microsoft over wanting free Windows 7 for helping to test it!! FOR ITS THE COMPUTER MAKERS WHO TURNED VISTA INTO TRASH NOT MICROSOFT!!

- If you have a pristine Vista installation from the free disc, there should be no Acer rubbish to remove.
- Chewieuk,,,One would think it would be the case!! Over 4 weeks microsoft tech support pulled their hair out!!! We all learned Acer rewrote all ""op systems and put non-removeable passwords in the hard drive!! go to e-bay and you find 100's of acer computers... inbeded in acer hard drives,,pass codes to split the drive into 2-small drives and not report the correct drive free space'''''' so newbies like me,,think the downloads over ran the system....so we go to best-buy and pay up to $300 just for them to remove some of the pass codes!!! thinking we got a bigger hard drive.....Acer does the same thing with the menory!! Replace the hard drive not from Acer store,,,you got junk!!! It took a drive to Acer corp office in down town San Jose,ca With a meet with American president,,vice pres and head of support to remove that rubbish!!! It did take them too see,,,,I had my 96 18-wheelers out on the street out front.....ready to turn the parking lot into a scrap yard!!! All 106 lap-tops from Acer had the rubbish removed,,,, repaid back for repair shops to try to get them working !!!
