Windows Vista Update

frustrated new laptop owner

I had no idea that so many basic programs would not be functional with 64 bit.

Now I have an "entertainment" laptop and no entertainment. I can't watch video because adobe flash player doesn't work with 64 bit.

The "additional security features" really stink. It's annoying, even on secure sites I keep getting warnings and alerts and heaven forbid you turn them off - it does everything except predict the end of the world as we know it as far as the dire consequences.

The ONLY reason I use a PC (which I've coined a new description to go with the initials - PIECE OF CRAP) is because I work from home and my company is totally PC-based. DEAR GOD I WISH I HAD A MACINTOSH!!!

WHAT A SORRY PIECE OF CRAP - I HATE VISTA, I HATE INTERNET EXPLORER 8 - I HATE BING - NEED I SAY MORE???
