... really, really, hoping this thread remains unknown where I work...
Vista is not that bad - was released way before time, so it's just now
coming to where it was aimed. Problem is, by now it's widely tagged as
unreliable (wrong hardware+ early release) and slow (again, wrong
hardware).
We bought a Vista machine late last summer to replace my XP machine for
image editing at the studio.
It should be designed for Vista, as it is a high end OTS box.
It has an AMD quad core processor and 3 gb of RAM, two hard drives and runs
about half as fast as my two year old (also OTS) XP box with one HD when
running actions on bulk files.
I've turned off pretty much everything I can turn off, including the horrid
graphics package that is Aero to no avail.
What is really irksome is that I cannot (nor can our hired gun technician)
get the damned thing to allow full two way networking. I can pull files off
of it, and I can import files to it if I am sitting in front of it, but I
can't put files onto it from any other computer on the network.
two Thousand and bloody eight, and we are having to run files back and forth
on memory cards because the computers aboslutely refuse to let us dump files
from one machine to another because the OS seems to think it's hard drives
are sacramental.
I am pretty underwhelmed by my Vista experience so far.
