Hostfile.org - Windows Vista is Blocked

Windows Vista Is (Was) Not Permitted On This Site

Still, somehow, not convinced that Vista is terrible? Think I'm the only one complaining about it? Have a look here at some reviews of Vista (RTM means release-to-manufacturing, in other words, the version you're using now, if you are). Also, take a look at this little comment about Vista being #10 on CNET's 'Top ten terrible tech products' list. Tell me you still love Vista.

And if you are so inclined, read the first several posts of this topic on the Audiosurf forums where I lay out almost all of Vista's flaws, fighting an upstream battle against primarily hardcore Vista lovers (so it seems). It's not a pretty sight after that. But the game the forum belongs to is awesome. I suggest grabbing it (Audiosurf) off Steam. It's worth the ten bucks, or try the demo if you're not sure.

If you'd like help ridding your computer of Windows Vista, don't worry: it's free and legal for many Vista users. Check out this page (obligatory non-affilition disclaimer here) for info. You have nothing to lose except a bloated piece of crap system - and all the spyware Microsoft has to offer!

Oh, and for those pissy little whiners that think I'm just dissing Vista because my computer can't handle it... allow me to explain.
