One mans thoughts on Vista and Toshiba
Hi all
Had to share this.
I took delievery of a nice sparkly Toshiba L300D laptop this morning, eager to play i fired it up. Now please bare in mind this was at 10 am.
11 am STILL installing vista. Thought wow this is taking longer then it used to. So, anyway finished installing and reboot. OMG!! Now it has been a while since i used vista and yes been a while since i bought a new laptop. But since when did manufacteurs stuff so much crap into an OS? Would i like a link to amazon? Ebay maybe. seriously i had like 19 icons on the desktop at first boot. And the laptop came crashing down to a halt. was using well over a gig on idle. Anyway, created restore disks, ( fool if i dont i think lol ). Inserted the usb drive with 7 on. Literally 20 mins later im done. I really hope that manufactors dont cram 7 with all the rubbish they do with vista. I know that it is a bloat OS but i had over 25 programs in my msconfig and thats before i installed anything!
So if anyone is here reading this *cough toshiba employee* please bare in mind that you will bring 7 to its knees by cramming it full of stuff.
P.S Laptop is running nice on 7 now. No crap everywhere lol
