I purchased a Dell laptop with Windows Vista about two years ago. At the time, I had heard some negative things about Vista, but the sales person talked me into getting Vista rather than XP. He claimed that the bugs had been fixed and that Vista was very user friendly. He was wrong.
My laptop was ok for about six months, until one of the automatic updates caused it to go into an endless restart loop. It took me days to get it fixed, but I finally managed to do so and turned off the updates. However, my computer has never really worked properly since this happened. At this point, I cannot download...
