Windows Conspiracy

Post by tikimaize »

Why is it when a new version of Windows come out, the old one starts going blue screen daily??? I have been running Vista since it came out, maybe I got The BSOD twice. Windows 7 comes out and I get the BSOD at least once a day. It's really starting to piss me the fuck off.
My theory is when Windows releases a new product they send out an update to make the old one run like shit until the user cant take it any more and buys the new one. (makes sense to me). Anyone else have this happen to them?

There Is actually a secret to not getting any blue screen errors turn Off Automatic updates until The Windows 7 Hype stops then turn It back on : ) then you will not get one I have Windows XP and I would never Install or recommend anyone ever Installing that Horseshit Vista. I also have never got 1 blue screen error while running XP

i've been running Vista since it was launched. Whilst it is a pile of crap... I've never had it blue screen on me once in all the time I have had it. Even since the launch of windows 7 and I always install the updates as they come out.

I am considering switching to windows 7 after xmas anyway, can't get much worse than vista.

Back home I have Vista & there's no problem with it. And I never had a blue screen on Vista.

Second that!

I had a quick stop in Vista in between, and though I didn't hate it I absolutely love Windows 7. Much much better.
