ive finally stepped up out of the stoneage adn ditched windows XP - GoFuckYourself.com

TDF · 07-29-2010, 04:33 PM

after resisting upgrading OS systems my main machine finally decided to crap out on me and I had to fiinally do the ole handy format C and start all over again. This time instead of jumping to Windows 7 I decided to jump into Vista. Can anyone with this OS tell me how reliable it is and is it worth it to keep or should I go right to 7?

Use vista until you throw your computer down a flight of stairs out of frusteration. Then upgrade to windows 7.

Vista's constant nagging and asking you if you really want to "open this program, the one you clicked on, yeah, the one you use all the time" gets old. Windows 7 still gets annoying sometimes, but it's infinitely better than Vista.

XP is still the best, though.

woj · 07-29-2010, 04:41 PM

don't even think about vista, either install xp again, or go for windows 7...

$5 submissions · 07-29-2010, 04:41 PM

I've heard nothing but good things about Windows 7. But I agree with the poster above, XP still rocks!

MrBottomTooth · 07-29-2010, 04:43 PM

Get rid of Vista. Although I do have it on one computer and have had minimal problems, windows 7 is just a lot better. More stable and has some really neat features built into it.

MaDalton · 07-29-2010, 04:48 PM

XP or 7 - NOT Vista

otherwise you can also install Windows ME

Serge Litehead · 07-29-2010, 04:52 PM

bad move to upgrade to vista when there's superior product available. 7 rocks!

TDF · 07-29-2010, 04:52 PM

I was one of the ones who figured if it wasnt broke don't fix it. XP lasted for me pretty good for a very long time. Maybe I will just take the plunge into 7

thats called User Account Control settings (UAC). very annoying imho, first thing I disabled in both Vista and 7 (accessible through control panel in user accounts)

CYF · 07-29-2010, 04:56 PM

vista sucks.

james_clickmemedia · 07-29-2010, 04:58 PM

XP is the best windows OS since 3.1, 2000 or NT.
I have not used 7 much as I switched to a mac 2 years ago and would never go backwards.

JBlack · 07-29-2010, 04:58 PM

vista? U would have been better off installing a virus in your xp machine.....

windows 7 . best windows by far

Jim_Gunn · 07-29-2010, 05:37 PM

My laptop & two of my desktop workstations are still running Win XP and I do not feel compelled to upgrade them just yet. My video editing & encoding machine however is Vista 64 bit. It works fine for me despite all the issues other people report, but I don't love it. If you are starting afresh, you may as well go right to Windows 7.

Tasty1 · 07-29-2010, 06:05 PM

No problems with Vista. I never set up a new OS on an old computer, better buy a new one with the latest OS, windows 7 that is.

Also better cause you always have new website visitors with the latest OS and you have to test if the sites still working. I had someone by whom the videochat didn't work on explorer 64bit. But it worked on 32 bit.

I have 4 computers: 1 Quad Core running Vista, 1 Dual Core running XP, 1 iMac 27" (Pictured), and 1 Macbook.

Out of all of the machines, the iMac 27" kicks ass. It's fast, its quiet, it never fails. The Macbook is great too but slower of course.

My Dual Core running XP is FASTER than my Quad Core running Vista (64 bit).

My macs completely boot in less than 30 seconds, while my Vista takes over 4 freakin' minutes to fully boot. The XP machine takes about 2 minutes.

Vista is a horrible OS. The worst ever I think. I still like XP but I know it's like 5 years old or something. I haven't tried WIndows 7 but have heard good things.

My MACS however I love. The iMac is FAST. The Macbook's battery lasts over 4 hours and 30 minutes of actual use. Built in 802.11n kicks ass. Macs rule. I loves me my macs.

Yep. One of the things I hate about windows--slow load time.

signupdamnit · 07-29-2010, 07:22 PM

Avoid Vista at all costs. If you must stay with Windows consider Windows 7. It seems quite a bit better than Vista from my experience.

For a better experience altogether and maximum freedom (not to mention security) consider Linux. Ubuntu is a popular Linux distribution which many new Linux users start off with. The downside is that there will be some work involved in making the switch. I would also recommend a Mac if Linux is not feasible for you.

HomerSimpson · 07-29-2010, 07:54 PM

avoid vista and go straight to W7

TDF · 07-29-2010, 11:21 PM

Well since I Abe poste this thread I have had three blue screen of deaths and they all come after trying to bring my comp out of sleep mode. Seems like vista shuts down my USB ports when this happens and I am getting blue screen loops. Looks like I will have to buy windows 7
