- The_Decryptor, on 07/22/2008, -16/+215A lot of these "features" are stupid, Are we really missing active desktop?, is moving a feature actually removing it?
And one of the missing "features" is actually a security flaw. - inactive, on 07/22/2008, -12/+207Yeah, submitting a Wikipedia article to the frontpage was a totally brilliant idea.
It's going to end up edited left and right and completely defeat the purpose of submitting it in the first place. - andre321, on 07/22/2008, -4/+179http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything
- JohnsonGotOwned, on 07/22/2008, -8/+171Is there a Wikipedia article for EVERYTHING now or something?
- Hellman109, on 07/22/2008, -40/+172They forgot that Vista removed the Blaster virus...
Oh yeah, XP lovers like to ignore anything pre-SP2. - KnightCrawler, on 07/21/2008, -45/+145I use it to with 6GB of memory and it's like a kitten with a ball of yarn. :)
- jblade, on 07/22/2008, -10/+91I never put down Mac users, because I simply have no experience with it.
But for some reason, every mac user feels the need to flaunt that they love macs, and that they hate windows. - pardonmedoug, on 07/22/2008, -1/+79that's kind of the point.
- poprocksandsoda, on 07/21/2008, -20/+92Actually Vista has been incredible for stability and I'm a power user. I think the real problem with Vista is simply bloat; it tries to be too many things for too many people. I've been considering running Windows Server 2008 as a desktop OS based on lots of good feedback from people.

- Nysul, on 07/22/2008, -5/+68More the result of the ***** of Creative. When vista betas were out my integrated soundcard worked just fine while my soundblaster was crapware.
- Gioleb, on 07/22/2008, -3/+62I really do miss the "Massive ***** Detector".
http://i35.tinypic.com/25u4c2d.jpg - P0peRatz0, on 07/22/2008, -40/+98I'm glad it works out for you. Many of us have not had such positive experiences with it. After seven years, and for hundreds of dollars, we expected more.
At least it could have been more user friendly and not less, it could have performed better than XP not worse, and by all means there should be no DRM in the operating system.
The last thing I need is an operating system passing judgment on what I do with my computer. The OS is supposed to work for ME, not for the R1AA. - briansearles, on 07/22/2008, -6/+63Doesn't matter to these people. If you hate Vista, you'll come up with a huge list of "features" missing regardless.
IE7 deintegrated? Are you ***** me? - CobaltBlue, on 07/22/2008, -5/+59Dont' worry. Apple will be adding them back in without your permission on their next iTunes update.
- JigoroKano, on 07/21/2008, -35/+85Fancy gaming sound cards are useless in Vista. I hope they plan on fixing that because the changes there were extremely idiotic.
- dubbaj, on 07/22/2008, -8/+53I one don't see the point of learnings grammar. I'll better stick to typing this words.
- Caleb83, on 07/22/2008, -1/+45"On 22 July 2008, Features removed from Windows Vista was linked from Digg, a high-traffic website.
All prior and subsequent edits to the article are noted in its revision history."
In other words: This article is less accurate than it was yesterday. - carlosauresrex, on 07/22/2008, -13/+55wait, i don't get it, does that mean it's fast? or slow, because I know some pretty retarded kittens.
- l0k0, on 07/22/2008, -21/+59The critical thinking applied by fanboys:
1) Bitch about how Vista is so bloated for over a year
2) When even you get tired of it, continue bitching, but about what was removed
3) Rave about *insert favorite OS*
4) Ignore Hypocrisy
5) Repeat as necessary - enignock, on 07/22/2008, -6/+44Oh, you mean using your physical ram which is much faster than virtual ram (hd space)? Yeah, I love keeping my eye on my system monitor and getting a hardon over how much ram I have left! It is there to be used.
- darkzealot89, on 07/22/2008, -5/+43"Installing Windows Vista on a volume with a FAT32 file system is no longer supported."
I am not really missing FAT32 at all... NTFS FTW - Borgcube636, on 07/22/2008, -7/+45DOS!!! WHERE'S MY ***** DOS!!!
- starkruzr, on 07/22/2008, -11/+48"Fine" is only sufficient if it comes with your machine, and even then if you compare it to the performance of XP or various flavors of Linux on the same hardware it is extremely disappointing.
"After seven years, and for hundreds of dollars, we expected more."
This. - inactive, on 07/22/2008, -7/+44Massive ***** detector?
- netneutrality, on 07/21/2008, -27/+63I shouldn't have read that article because it's just made me angry. About a dozen features I use and like in Win2003 are rudely missing from Vista for no reason, apparently. *Calm blue ocean.... calm blue ocean.... calm blue ocean..*
- thecosmicpope, on 07/22/2008, -8/+43People who criticise the memory management need to read on why it uses more RAM, and why this is a good thing.I bought my RAM for a reason. I want it to use my RAM, In fact, I'd be annoyed if it didn't use my RAM.
Anyway, as software progresses the hardware requirements grow. Half Life 2 will not run on a P2 64mb machine, however that doesn't make HL2 bloated. People complained about the same thing when XP came out. Its heavier on systems than 98SE. Yeah, and now everyone's saying how great XP is, and how horrible Vista is. Come the next generation of Windows, we'll be saying how heavy it is on systems compared to Vista.
Hardware requirements growing is part of the natural development of Operating Systems and other high end software. - headband, on 07/22/2008, -3/+36he said he wants better audio in his GAMES
- Tenoq, on 07/22/2008, -6/+39I like whining about this one:
"Since Windows Vista features a rewritten audio stack and does not inherit the Hardware Abstraction Layer for audio that was present under prior versions of Windows, there is no hardware acceleration of DirectSound and DirectSound3D APIs. DirectSound is emulated entirely in software. As a result, hardware acceleration and 3D spatialization utilizing DirectSound3D is no longer supported."
It's annoying have a $200+ pro-sumer soundcard that no longer has any hardware accelerated 3D audio in many of the games I like. I can live with Vista being a bit slower, a bit clunkier and a bit more fiddly in the UI, but losing my hardware-accelerated positional audio is REALLY annoying. :p - gcnaddict, on 07/22/2008, -5/+38Asus XONAR. Stop buying Creative's *****.
- TBBucs, on 07/22/2008, -4/+36"On 22 July 2008, Features removed from Windows Vista was linked from Digg, a high-traffic website."
Everybody wave! - KMartSheriff, on 07/22/2008, -12/+43XP 64 is a joke. Even the biggest Windows fanboy would admit that. If you'd seriously choose XP 64 over Vista 64, then it's clear you're just being closed-minded & ignorant.
- Sedako, on 07/22/2008, -6/+362GB of DDR2 can be had for as cheap as $20 after rebate. I don't see how that's expensive.
- Sedako, on 07/22/2008, -3/+33For those burying me, a 2GB kit of OCZ DDR2 800 for 20$ after rebate:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8 ... - MrZop, on 07/22/2008, -5/+34"Massive ***** Detector" Damn, i knew Vista was missing something. Interesting feature on that list.
- Nysul, on 07/22/2008, -7/+35Benburned has no idea how vista memory works
- thecosmicpope, on 07/22/2008, -8/+34Of all the Vista issues, stability is not one of them.
- Alex2, on 07/22/2008, -0/+25"Digg vandalism
This page has been linked from Digg, a high traffic website with many immature people. Something needs to be done. Dooga Talk 05:27, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh my. We've rattled the hornets nest. And I didn't even get a chance to post a "They took out Microsoft Bob!" section at Wikipedia. - RequiemHunter, on 07/22/2008, -2/+27The XP version has Hyper Terminal, and they took it out of Vista. I needed Hyper Terminal for my works, and I was pretty annoy when they took away Hyper Terminal from Vista.
- ikillpeoplexx, on 07/22/2008, -2/+27hahahah yessss. you win.
- archer75, on 07/22/2008, -1/+25developers just need to use OpenAL and you get the fancy sound. Or just use creative alchemy. The sound changes were a good thing. It was removed from the kernel so when your sound card crashes it doesn't take your entire system down with it.

- WallnutBoy, on 07/22/2008, -3/+27@PedleZelnip
...sigh -_- - P0peRatz0, on 07/22/2008, -14/+37"it's like a kitten with a ball of yarn"
Yes, it gets tangled up. - etx313, on 07/22/2008, -5/+27When vista kills it's own people for personal profit your comparison will be valid.
- consonance, on 07/22/2008, -2/+24But how do I profit?
- Greengoo, on 07/22/2008, -0/+22How will I operate my disk without DOS?
- inactive, on 07/22/2008, -3/+25No, that's bad logic. By his logic, when Windows 7 comes out, he should forget about pre-SP1 Vista.
