There were a number of issues with Vista, but the big one was that, to increase sales, Microsoft understated the requirements for Vista to appease OEMs. This allowed supermarket brands such as HP to sell crap computers with Vista installed (or at least a "Vista Capable" sticker), so when people bought their new computer with Vista, it was horrible to use because the hardware was inadequate out of the box. It's the opposite with Windows 11 where they disqualified modern, decent systems from running it in the name of "security."
Lmao at the last part. My laptop barely runs Windows 10, and microsoft won't leave me alone with these annoying bloody "Upgrade to Windows 11 now!" ads.
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialoungethey won’t let you upgrade but let you fresh install it (i guess if you want to) but it still gives you the things saying to check upgrade eligibility???
You're spot-on. It also did not help that Vista took way too long to be released; people didn't really upgrade their old machines when it finally came out. Ironically, Windows 7 was very, very similar to Vista, but by then the average computer was powerful enough, so people suddenly praised that one...
purble place was my entire childhood before I discovered actual videogames. that cake making game kept me entertained for hours and windows 7 and vista just hold so many fond memories
I still got one of those Dell Inspiron E1505s it still has windows vista business and still works great! It's my frutiger aero rig! I'll be makin a video of it soon!
I’ve been subscribed to the channel for a while now , and it’s really heartwarming to hear you in almost every video thanking you’re viewers like that , I wish nothing but the best for you ❤ the videos with LTT are well deserved
god that audio visualiser. takes me back to when my family shamelessly downloaded countless songs from limewire and played them through that. ofcourse that computer basically got taken over by viruses, can't imagine where those could've come from, but it was fun watching the cool colours and effects while it lasted
Found a toshiba satellite in the bin a week ago, looks exactly like this one, previous guys decided to just update to windows 7, (it also has an nvidia gpu for some reason and 3gb ram,) model no is a20014 D in case you guys are curious
I gamed on vista for about 4 or so years, and honestly? The OS is better than people give it credit for, but it is *absolutely* one of the awful ones. In fact it's the windows OS I had the *most* 'real' issues with, that weren't just massive inconveniences (like with Win 8), I suffered very heavily from the dreaded "KSOD" or "blacK Screen Of Death" which is a Vista Special™and genuinely very devastating because it even managed to corrupt my hardrive at the time which I barely managed to save. In terms of the way it looks and feels to use I genuinely quite liked Vista, but I had *so many* bugs and actual 'real' problems with it that it wasn't reliable enough to trust, especially not for 'real' work. Windows 7 was lightyears ahead in just about all aspects to be honest, and it was only two years after Vista, which is such a huge 180
I used a windows vista laptop for video editing like 12-10 years ago when I was 12 and I always liked the OS. I only later found out that people didn’t like it as much and it hurts me a little ngl 😭😂
Gonna be honest with you, I used windows vista for 8 years and have nothing but good things to say about it. People say it was bloated and slow, but it was actually the oems adding most of the bloat. A fresh copy of vista on capable hardware was perfectly useable.
Yepp! I don't have personal experience with this, but that appears to be the case. CRD has a youtube series talking about this very issue and the stupid ways they tried to fix it, and the only laptops that actually had a long boot time were the ones with bloatware straight from the OEM's. Otherwise it was fine, and the alternative "Quick Start" type of OS's were never needed nor an improvement.
We had a vista computer at my kindergarten (where i distinctly remember us basically having the first freddi fish and not much else), and hearing the sound effects for porble place was like being a sleeper agent and being activated
I have a couple of old laptop in hand (most of them broken) and I loved the feel of old laptop keyboards. I would trade a little bit of laptop chonk for the feel of them old keyboards
I have this exact model Toshiba with Vista on it. I loved it so much. I know people hate vista but I used Vista from 2008-2013 and I loved it to death. I only stopped because my laptop hard drive failed
Frank trying to delete the damned Vista to save the laptop before the CPU melts, but failing due to the lack of knowledge on computers. Truly a tragic moment on snake history.
Awww, I dont think I could own a snake in fear it would be picky and only want live food, however, Frank is making it hard for me to not run out and get one right now lol
6 hours ago? i could just find this.. thanks for making these public. also the eepeecee isnt dead. i think theres a key combination that turns off the mouse somehow. or the ui broke. probably a bug
A snake coming on a computer? Right when you’re about to use it? Trying to get your attention? Frank is a cat. A very long and scaly cat but a cat nonetheless. And rather beautiful cat. Hi Frank. I love you.
Frank was trying to teach you Python.
underrated
Oh, so that's why she wanted to go to more programs.
Relatable
hashqahahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahaha
Frank knows how to use the computer
frank IS the computer
Maybe

@@Dynamicdrifting lol
He is smart
Frank is so nice to help Wade use his new computer.
Watch him for years didnt know his Name was Wade
She's an amazing dog
@@idrisasan766same
A very long dog
To be fair, Frank understands Vista better than my grandparents did
Frank senses the heat from the laptop CPU struggling at 100% utilization trying to running crappy Vista.

@@GlamStacheessnostalgialoungeexactly. They slow cheap crappy laptops the upgrade but high end computers can’t get it.
two of the most common fears, snakes and windows vista
Purple Place was an amazing game. I remember always playing it in my childhood!
Mahjong too!
Yessss
Exactly 😭
@imcyb3rst4ractually, you could still get them, called "
Windows 7 Games for Windows 8 and 10"
I also remember playing it! It was great
My son who is 17 now used to love to place Purple Place when he was younger, he and I would take turns making the cakes and stuff 😅.
Petition to get a 1 hour video of just Frank doing anything… make it happen Wade, you know the people want it
2:35 Frank telling him to defrag his HDD because it takes a lot of time to boot 🥺
she ssssssmart sssssnek
I've never seen Frank so lively!
in primary school vistas is what they used in the computer lab, i remember those wallpapers and screen savers so vividly
I cant believe such a creature is attacking and destroying the computer and the set not respecting anything like a child
I feel pity for frank
Back when 1+ mins just for your PC to startup was normal. Then sometimes waiting another min for it to become responsive enough to be usable.
purble place was my entire childhood before I discovered actual videogames. that cake making game kept me entertained for hours and windows 7 and vista just hold so many fond memories
Awww Frank is adorable 🥰
Windows vista is my childhood hood, I love windows vista, it just needed a chance to improve which it did but nobody gave it s chance.
The Purple Place noises, what a nostalgia bomb of my Dell Inspiron SomethinfSomething!
I still got one of those Dell Inspiron E1505s it still has windows vista business and still works great! It's my frutiger aero rig! I'll be makin a video of it soon!
Frank is the technician
We want more frank content!
WADE!!!! WADE WATCH OUT!!!!! WATCH OUT WADE THERE'S A SNAKE ON YOUR COMPUTER WAAAADE!!!!!!
We actually had this same Toshiba laptop as a family laptop! it started to stink after a couple years but we still loved it lol
I want to know what is going on inside of Frank's little brain
My dad had this exact craptop for several years, sending me back a decade plus.

Ssd and good specs could run vista alright :)
I do remember hdd taking legit 25 minutes to shutdown sometime tho 😂

I actually worked at a call center for Microsoft solely to assure people that Vista was good and let them know how to use the features.
Those friggin purble place sound effects… my early childhood thanks you :]
We had a vista computer at my kindergarten (where i distinctly remember us basically having the first freddi fish and not much else), and hearing the sound effects for porble place was like being a sleeper agent and being activated
Frank always surprises me, i never realize just how long of a snake she is until you show her in video
Omg dude chess titans takes me back, me and my dad used to play ALL the time, I loved it and I wish it still existed
Mine Sweeper's my fave. Thanks for the frequent belly laughs Wade.
ngl i really love windows vista. its the first os i used, it looked really nice.
I bet that for frank, laptop heating was never a problem bc its cold blooded!!!
the amount of times I tried to sit up to fix the screen
Frank is such a cute dog
I got quite a bit of memories playing the completely free games in windows until I started having more of a collection
Glad to see ecen frank enjoys the windows areo ui
Just remembered i have one of these hidden somewhere. Oh god the nightmares.
oh my god thats the same laptop i had over 10 years ago. So nostalgic!
This was my actual first laptop, with Vista on it too
Very nostalgic
Also i had an XP desktop and vastly preferred it
this entire video is just
"GOD DAMN IT FRANK"
That Minesweeper sound and Inkball are so nostalgic
I have a couple of old laptop in hand (most of them broken) and I loved the feel of old laptop keyboards. I would trade a little bit of laptop chonk for the feel of them old keyboards
Have you striped off their HDs to see what's in them?
Purble place unlocked a core memory holy shit
I have this exact model Toshiba with Vista on it. I loved it so much. I know people hate vista but I used Vista from 2008-2013 and I loved it to death. I only stopped because my laptop hard drive failed
I have one of those too, I installed Linux mint and use it regularly now
Subscribed for Frank!
Everyone knows that we're really here for Frank
saw all my childhood in that video
Frank trying to delete the damned Vista to save the laptop before the CPU melts, but failing due to the lack of knowledge on computers. Truly a tragic moment on snake history.
frank is the cutest noodle
windows vista is what makes us all appreciate technology today
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... I had one of those back in the day....
Best game of snake I ever seen 😂
Awww, I dont think I could own a snake in fear it would be picky and only want live food, however, Frank is making it hard for me to not run out and get one right now lol
Am I the only one who had Vargskelethor’s Windows Vista Destruction recommended after watching this?
6 hours ago? i could just find this.. thanks for making these public.
also the eepeecee isnt dead. i think theres a key combination that turns off the mouse somehow. or the ui broke. probably a bug
He basically fried the driver when he plugged in an ancient USB-A to USB-A.
I remember playing purple place it's Soo nostalgick
it's awful when it doesn't work but amazing when it does
at least compared to 10 and 11
Man, I had that same laptop in like 2006 and it was a piece of crap then, I can only imagine trying to use it now.
Goddamn I haven't seen purble place in years, weird thing to have nostalgia over but still
My mom had a laptop like that for work/home years ago.I would watch TH-cam on it
I have one of these laptops, a higher end model, and the drivers are screwed, but it launches in safe mode, luckily. Heaps of old data on it.

1:28 frank turned on wifi
Frank.
I used to have one of those! A hand me down from my uncle 😂 my first computer when I was like 10
Dark is more interested in it because it’s warm.
Normally Frank's a long dog. Today she's a long cat.
my parents had that one, i'd watch monster high movies on it
Bro I remember playing that cake game on my grammas pc on work
Frank was a hilarious in this vid
Holy shit purble
Dude i had this same exact laptop as a kid
4:10 frank in the plants😊
I also played Purble Pairs on Windows 7.
Franktop😂
purble place whee
And now in the days of Windows 11, we have laptops with barely any more performance than this, trying to run what is fourteen years newer.
frank.
i head this laptop when i was 5-6 because my dad didnt like it and passed the return window. my first pc that i owned.
Windows Vissssta.
I just put windows 11 on one of these recently, though the model i used was EVEN WORSE
I had the 17" version of this laptop, I played club penguin on it :)
Toshiba Satellite my worst laptop i had owned (multiple of them actually) now the last survivor is used as a stand for my cactus and my mini tree
I think my father had that pc back in the day.
