Lenovo Malaysia – Lenovo Thinkpad R61 with Microsoft Windows Vista Sucks!

Thinkpad-r61

I’m a big fan of Thinkpad, but not it’s operating system.

Can you imagine that by only copying a folder to another folder, Vista took an approximate of 1GB memory consumption? And when Vista hangs, there’s no indication that it really hangs because the mouse pointer still moving. I’m pretty mad on the so-called ‘built from scratch’ OS.

I decided to change the current Windows Vista to Windows XP using a Recovery CD. Now, I’m typing this blog with the Windows XP installed with no hassle. If you’re having similar problem, this is a nice read which specifically explain on how to downgrade.

Have a Microsoft Windows Vista Business or Microsoft Windows Ultimate system, but need to continue using Microsoft Windows XP for a while? For a limited time Lenovo is providing Windows XP Recovery CD media as a way to downgrade from Windows Vista. Lenovo customers that have Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate “qualified systems” may purchase a Windows XP Recovery CD until January 31, 2009. Fees may vary. Please contact your local Support Center for additional details.

Notes:

  • “Qualified systems” are Lenovo notebook and desktop systems purchased with a Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate preloaded operating system.
  • There will be a limit of one Windows XP Recovery CD set per customer, per serial number for each system series with preloaded software, including Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate.

Rest assured, Windows XP is still my best friend.

P/S: Still remembered that Lenovo Malaysia spelt Intel Pentium as “Intel Pentuim”. I tried to look after that spelling mistakes but it seems that they have corrected it.
