Windows Vista Update

The road to salvation

Dear people,

What I feel when I think of vista is pure and utter, profound and everlasting, deepseeded hatred, and an uncharacteristic tendency to extreme violence, bordering on berserk.

I bought this computer in November 2007, upgraded to XP early 2008, and am still searching for a complete driver package for my sony vgn-ar51e laptop.

Surfing the net I found countless trillions of people who feel like I do about vista, and there ARE drivers to be found for XP, but I find it utterly contemptable from sony that after all the criticism vista got, and after so, so many people UPGRADED, yes, that's right, UPGRADED to XP, they do not provide decent XP driver info or downloads on their site for every machine that was ever cursed with, and cured from this infernal adulterated ice cone theme park look-alike moloch of an in-operating system, and they should be hanged, quartered, diced, powdered, and rocketed into the nearest star so that these combinations of genes can never procreate again, along with everyone that wrote 1 byte of source code for vista.

Ok, I'm calm.

vista:
Rebooting at least once every session due to unresponsive, sometimes rebooting without asking, interupting with patches, upgrades, recommended installs and what have you. Slow, maze-like, no permission for this no permission for that.(Are you sure? Yes. Are you really sure? Yes! Are you really really sure? YES!!! No access.) yadayadayada...
Ugly interface too, but of course that's personal preferences.

It's difficult enough for a non computer freak to keep a device clutter free, but after I burnt all I wanted to keep to CD, and deleted it from the hard drive along with all the rest I could find that wasn't operating system, there was still 27GB on the drive and I have no clue what it was or where it came from.

XP:
This machine is now EXTREMELY FAST, RELIABLE (Rebooting occasionally after an install, but it hasn't crashed once since I upgraded to XP.), UNCOMPLICATED and ACCESSIBLE, and generally compliant and nice to me.
I would like it to have my children!!! (And I'm pretty perticular about my choice of partners!)

I think I've made my point.

Frank.
