My hate towards Vista isn't directed towards having to upgrade my PC. I have a dual core with 2 GB of ram and a 512 mb x1800 xt, so that isn't it. I just don't want to have to BUY a new OS to run DirectX 10 just because Microsoft doesn't want to code it for XP, so everyone that wants it HAS to buy Vista, FORCING people to upgrade when they don't want to,
MS is not FORCING you to do anything. You ALWAYS have the option of switching over to Linux, or buy a Mac. Dont like them? thats not MS's fault.

don't have the money, or in my case, Vista won't even run. I tried Vista. It BSODs every 2 minutes.
You say it wont run, but you never give specs. I run Vista on a Dell laptop that was built for Vista, and have never had a BSOD.

I have never had any problems with XP unless my overclock was set too high. I have turned that off and Vista STILL freezes and restarts my PC. It is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. It is crap like that that really makes me mad, because it should run fine, but it doesn't, so even if I do want to use it, I can't, because it's too buggy. I want Halo 2 for PC, and maybe ShadowRun. But can I get it? No, because Vista doesn't work right.
You can still play Halo 2 AND ShadowRun WITHOUT Vista, its called a 360.

It is shit like that that makes me hate Vista with a passion. I'm upgrading to a Core 2 Duo soon from my AMD dual core, hopefully that will fix my problems, then maybe I can try to get a key somewhere or from someone because I am not ready to spend 200$ on something that I don't want to be FORCED to use.
So you kinda admit you want it, you just rather steal it than pay for it... Again, your not being forced.
Also, isnt saying your going to pirate software illegal on this board?
I just hate pointless rants that serve no purpose at all.
