Trouble moving (overwrite) a file (weird isn't it?)
Moderator: MaxCoderz Staff
I haven't tried it on my laptop I've seen it work on at least a dozen laptops at school and friends' places.
Vista's excuse in this case is the user or hardware compatibility. If you don't even know which release you tried then you probably didn't even really try seriously which is no way to judge an OS. Your experience is moot unless you know why it did what it did.
Vista does not generally use more than a percentage here and there running idle on a PC with the minimum specifications.

Why would I remember exactly what OS I tried a year ago?
I think it was the second beta if that helps you
After testing it very briefly (say, booted it 3 times on purpose) I decided not to use it because it was terribly annoyingly slow and laggy, and a few months ago I finally got around to removing Vista completely (it took some effort to remove to dual-boot)

The developer pre-release comes with a readme file that says this. It may not be official for the final release but they're not going to double performance and make features like real-time reflection, realtime movie thumbnail rendering, and spaces all at the same time fluent at that clockspeed in a couple of months.
I say you come up with some technical insight for how these features could possibly run fluently while working with the OS on a 400mhz G4 or you're just trolling.
I'll trust technical insight for which I've given several reasons and insight from people who've tried the developer release which has requirements included and have reported on it's features and performance over your or CDI's claims which so far have only been backed by.. well absolutely nothing.
It may run but as said you can run XP on a 15MHz system if you really want to, but that doesn't make it very practical.
Also I still have Vista's bootmenu, lulz. First grub, then vista, then xp. I'll probably try hardware graphics rendering on the latest vmware build and if it's satisfactory switch to ubuntu with vista and xp sp2 in a vm (yay seamlessrdp) completely.

Yesterday evening a I talked with a friend (even I have some) who to his great dislike is stuck to vista because his parents use the computer as well. Guess what, it turned out that Vista has the filehandle problem as well! And Unlocker doesn't even work on Vista (I told him to try it).
2ndNot sure why you would want to run vista anyway. It sucks just as much as OS X

Hm, you're complaining about a final product based on the quality of its beta?King Harold wrote:I think it was the second beta if that helps you
Anyhow, as I mentioned earlier, use Process Explorer. Search for the file handle and nuke it. Works in Vista. Thus far I've only had problems with a 3rd-party thumbnailing app causing problems. Explorer has been much more reliable to me (no more of XP's impossible-to-delete folder bug, for one).

Considering the extremely poor quality of said beta, yes.
Even if the final product would be twice as good, it would still be bad.
Is the final product really that much better than the second beta? And what of the number of results for http://www.google.com/search?q=vista+broken+promises ? nearly 1,2 Mil..
Even moving normally-sized files was slow.
Btw, that friend who is stuck with vista complains just as much about it - just not here because he's not a MC member.. yet
