So I went and bought a nice new laptop. Dual core goodness with 4gigs of ram and of course it came with what... Vista
After unboxing and removing all the junky factory software I had time to tweak a few settings and hit my normal interwebs.
On my XP setup Ive NEVER had to run antivirus or spyware programs as Ive never had an issue with any garbage on my machines. When I hit my normal few internet sites what do I get.... a god damn spyware popup ALREADY.
Some "malware" bullshit, ALREADY, on a brand new machine. So the years Ive had of spyware issues with XP, completely FAILS me when I switch to Vista rite out of the damn box.
Does anyone have a regular Vista Home Premium cd they can copy for me? I would really like to reformat the entire thing and stay away from the manaf. restore cd. As much as I hate Vista just in general, the support for XP x64 seems weak as hell.
