Windows Vista or Toshiba

Windows Vista or Toshiba?

By: ArticleQueen

This weekend we took the advise from Toshiba to upgrade the bios from our laptop computers. Oh yes this was recommended by Toshiba because it was going to fix an error within the compatibility issues of Windows Vista. Well here is the sad part my room mate decided she was going to do the upgrade after all Toshiba recommended it, and we do want for our system to continue to work proper right?

What a nightmare! She followed all the steps and after bios upgrade 5 everything was great, bios upgrade 6 super no issues but then…bios upgrade 7 wellllll thanks Toshiba the whole system is now corrupt! No, in my oppinion this was not a Windows Vista issue but rather a problem at Toshiba with their bios.

We called Toshiba and asked them how to fix this the system went dead on us. Here is the answer we received…First a tech asked “Why did you upgrade the Bios”? Oh great first Toshiba recommends the upgrade and now they want to know why we did it? After going back and forward with this tech I told him that I wished to speak to a tier 3 tech ….sorry but I needed to speak to someone more at my own level of computer knowledge.

Windows Vista Not All That Bad

Windows Vista Not All That Bad

By: VideoQueen

A few weeks ago we made the step in buying a new Toshiba laptop computer, and with the toshiba came the new windows vista. Well naturally we have been reading all the comments and stories about windows vista, but so far we have not had all the numerous troubles we read about. Maybe a few gaming issues because of the compatibility, but so far we managed to find the patches and made the programs work just fine.

Windows Vista is a new operating system from microsoft and just like with all previous operating systems it is still ironing out the bugs. The interface is pleasant and the options in cascading open windows is nice. In reading many reviews we did not like the idea of using windows vista, but since it came with the new laptop we did not have much choice.

So in short we would like to say that Windows Vista is not all that bad. Hopefully more people will feel more comfortable with using Windows Vista after reading this short review.

Feel free to comment and let us know what your experience is with Windows Vista.
