Is it just me?

Does the whole site seem to be running slowly to anybody else? My Vista 7 is well past it's due date but can't afford to upgrade as yet, but thought maybe it could be partly responsible. At this time there are no stats for Community or Online Members i.e. numbers. Any thoughts???

You've probably got malware, they abandoned Vista because it was unstable and would have taken too long to fix

You are welcome

Basically, Microsoft dropped the ball on Vista and really stuffed up.
As far as I can see it was rushed to the market too quickly without the appropriate testing beforehand.
Hence the reason that they only ever released one service pack for Vista and Windows 7 was released quite quickly after.
Vista was extremely buggy and unstable. Also, the older the installation, the worse it gets.
I cannot be certain but it appears that Windows 7 is actually a rebuild of the Vista Kernel where they took the time to actually fix the mistakes and test it properly but chose to rename and re-market it as Windows 7 rather than anything to do with the tainted Vista name as that had left a very sour taste in the mouth of the consumers.
And this ends your piece of useless information for the night 😂
