Acer Sued for Shipping Vista-Book with GB of Memory | |
|

| Time: 19:11 EST/00:11 GMT | News Source: OS News | Posted By: Andre Da Costa | ||

Two Middle Americans have sued Acer over its low-cost Aspire notebooks, claiming that the Taiwanese PC giant pre-installed Windows Vista on machines ill-equipped to run Microsoft's latest OS. With a lawsuit filed Wednesday in San Francisco, California, two residents of Fostoria, Ohio seek damages and relief from the world's third-largest computer maker after purchasing a sub-$600 Aspire notebook that included Windows Vista Premium and a gigabyte of shared system and graphics memory. | ||

| Oh come on. why the hell are they allowing these idiots to clog up our courts with this BS. Vista runs fine in those conditions. not speedily but it runs fine. |

| These bogus lawsuits would not exist if the rule of law was that if you lost a lawsuit you paid for the cost of it. That is the rule of law in every western democratic country on the planet except here. The opposite is true here in the United States. Should it ever become the law here, BS law suits like this would never come to pass. And, a lot of bright people that now practice the art of the shakedown with their law degrees would find productive employment in our society. |

the problem is NOT Vista and is NOT the low hardware, but it's all the useless software (crapware) installed by Acer, look this list:
Acer eDataSecurity Management Acer eAcoustics Management Acer eLock Management Acer ePerformance Management Acer eRecovery Management Acer eSettings Management Acer eNet Management Acer ePower Management Acer GridVista Acer Acade games Norton 360 trial Office trial Adobe Reader 8.1 the most of this software listed above is not completely compatible with Vista and cause a lot of problems and it slows down all Acer PCs This post was edited by suy on Saturday, March 28, 2009 at 04:01. |

a) 1GB will run anything, just not super fast
b) The cost to the user to increase their ram to a "favorable level" even on the website would have been < $40. c) The lawyer on this case should be drug out into the street and stoned. |

| #4, c) Amen! Big sharp stones! No, that would be too quick.... small sharp ones! |

| When you live in a litigious society that seemingly encourages frivolous lawsuits, people will file frivolous lawsuits. The odds are better than playing the lottery. |

| #6, or.... the intent was to make legal action accessible to all people - not just rich ones... |

| #7: That would be great if it were true. Other than small claims court or pro bono assistance, most people would go bankrupt if they had to finance a legal action to the end, except in the simplest of cases. |

As others have noted, this IS NOT A VISTA problem...
If your system has 1GB of RAM, Vista is as fast/faster than XP. It is the 512mb systems that Vista cannot keep up with XP. (Win7 with 512mb can keep up with XP btw.) Vista goes like this.... 32bit - 1GB - Fast/Faster than XP 64bit - 1.5GB - Fast/Faster than XP However, as you add 'more' RAM to Vista instead of it sitting around idle, Vista scales up using Superfetch and a few other tricks to use the extra RAM to speed up the system even more. So as you move to 2GB, 3GB, 4GB, 8GB etc. Vista continually gets faster and faster as it is using intelligent caching to offset the inherent slow nature of the Hard Drive which is ALL computers biggest bottleneck. |
