    BYE BYE VISTA - hello XP (again)!

    yeah, point fingers and laugh....it was a good run for a few weeks, but MAN there is a LOT of work that need to be done to that OS before I will EVER try it again

    so many bugs it isn't funny

    if you are a windows power user DO NOT install vista.....meaning if you work your machines so hard they smoke sometimes, don't do it!

    after that fiasco I might just run xp forever

                      I got the upgrade CD in the mail from when I bought my laptop, and still haven't installed it. Are the horror stories REALLY that bad?

                                                      Vista sucks compared to XP.

                                                              Seems fast on a quadcore I played with at Frys. You don't have the latest processor, what score did it say you had? The machine I was messing with had a 5.6. Everything but memory was 5.9 though.

                                                                                      fucking bloatware

                                                                                          see, it wasn't about short term....short term it was semi-good...it was doing long intensive tasks that required me to work on something for long periods

                                                                                          and I wouldn't say a dual core 64 processor with 4gb ram is "old"...it might not be the latest athlon put out, but it is better than 90% of people out there have

                                                                                          btw, it actually did show up in the vista "score" section as a 5.6

                                                                                              ive never had a problem with vista one of the best software purchases ive bought in a long time.

                                                                                              stable as shit for me, runs fast, even with photoshop, premiere, dreamweave and other shit running being used it chugs right along.

                                                                                                  i can see the noob proof features being good on a parents computer or something but other than that they are annoying.

                                                                                                      http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=41691

                                                                                                      Only complaint i have with vista is when you first install it you gotta configure so much shit to stop it from being a over protecting noob computer..

                                                                                                      i can see the noob proof features being good on a parents computer or something but other than that they are annoying.
                                                                                                      I would just honestly rather stick with xp for now, at least til sp2 comes out for vista (or whatever they will call it)....i really think they jumped the gun releasing it

                                                                                                              hell, the first thing I noticed when I loaded it up was this circle around my mouse that only showed up when I moved the mouse....so, any time I moved the mouse there was this circle that would strobe around it...I knew right then that vista was not ready, but that was a little thing that I could get used to

                                                                                                              rendering video in premiere was insane though, the more it rendered the "task completed in:" time would go up....haha

You got to know how to tweak it though. A lot of people just think it's a prettier version of XP and never really try to learn anything about it. Like all windows versions it's pretty bloated out of the box. Only shut it down once every few months to blow the dust out of the case.

Hate the windows when you browse through tons of porn galleries (maps). :P

You got to know how to tweak it though. A lot of people just think it's a prettier version of XP and never really try to learn anything about it. Like all windows versions it's pretty bloated out of the box. Only shut it down once every few months to blow the dust out of the case.

That's the main reason I stayed with 2kpro for 7 years. XP didn't do anything 2kpro couldn't do. It wasn't any faster or more stable.

My only reason for using Vista is that it's simply faster for what I do on a daily basis once setup properly.

You got to know how to tweak it though. A lot of people just think it's a prettier version of XP and never really try to learn anything about it. Like all windows versions it's pretty bloated out of the box. Only shut it down once every few months to blow the dust out of the case.

They did it no problem and told him everyone is doing the same. Seems not very many people like Vista.

If you do some Photoshop 1gb is not enough for Vista.

A flot of apps aren't made specifically for Vista yet. Eventough i think Vista uses a lot more memory.
