Ugggh! My computer has been freezing up and it is pissing me off like you wouldn’t believe. This beautiful (and sexy) laptop that I own now was given to me back in April of this year as an early birthday present for my 21st birthday. The computer I had before it was a normal, clunky desktop that would fuck up constantly. It would crash and burn on a regular basis like nobody’s business. When I got this computer, I was such a fresh change. It worked just fine. I thought, “Finally computer that works and is 100% mine!” Besides it being my new toy, I found out that the computer it self had a bunch of features that made it whole package of awesome…

• 17.0″ Diagonal WXGA+ High-Definition BrightView Widescreen Display
• 320GB (5400RPM) Hardrive
• 4096mb DDR2 SDRAM (2 Dimm)
• Can Detect Nearby Wireless Internet Signals
• Built-in CD/DVD player and burner
• 4 USB/Flashdrive slots
• HP Mobile Remote Control
• HP Webcam

Those things make my computer great, especially since I’m a graphic designer trying to get my business off the ground. The laptop has a great look and feel except for one thing… VISTA FRICKIN SUCKS!!! Oh my lord. I thought it was like a virus or something so I took a whole day out of my schedule to do a recovery, return it to exactly how it was when I first got it. Strip everything. This was just two or three days ago. And today, it starts acting up just like before. All the programs I’ve got are safe (I’ve triple-checked). So in frustration I screamed, “LEO!” (My brother and in-house computer security geek.) I asked him,”Yo, what are the top 5 reasons people keep saying Vista sucks?” Honestly, my last conclusion is that it was the OS I was on. He basically said everything that was happening with my comp now. Constant crashes, random times of serious slowdown, uses too many resources for the simplest things… Ugh! I can’t wait till I upgrade to Windows 7. Vista is Window’s little bastard child.
