Real World Windows VISTA questions...

Hey guys...

Who here is using Windows VISTA now...?

Is it good? is it bad?

What works?

What doesn't work?


Let's shed light on something that is very important.... VISTA is about to take over...

How will it affect our business?




I've heard that alot of drivers just don't work for it...
Is this true...?


Give us details please

It works...

But if you do anything that requires more than 10-25 half open sockets (like port scanning, proxy scanning, pretty much anything that uses threads to send out requests of some kind) I would steer clear of Vista.

Currently I know of no patch for this feature (problem) in Vista.

It consumes more memory and Aero requires a lot of graphics processing. If you use 2 - 4 gigs and a good card you should be OK.

If not, you are in for a slowdown.

The only good thing is virgin sockets.... Data transfer is a bit quicker.

Let me correct myself... I meant Virgin Stack.

Microsoft reworked the network stack in Vista. It basically does more faster now.

Forget downgrading to Vista, I don't know a single person who has said they are glad they did.

I bought Vista and I actually love it. For me, everything I use works fine. I think that the only problem that I had, if you'd want to call it that, was my WS_FTP Pro didnt' work and they didn't have a Vista version on their website, but they did have a beta version that you can get if you call them up directly, it works just fine, all of my hardware works perfectly.

I think that it's a nice change after spending 1,000s of hours sitting in front of XP.

V_RocKs is using words he doesn't understand. He's trying to say [urlhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg0905.mspx]this[/url] has made all the difference in the world, which, really, is just offering a slightly different stack that works in slightly different ways (IPV4 and IPV6 are separated.)

I was not impressed with Vista's graphical and memory intensive nature. I went back to XP, and plan on using XP until it's no longer feasible - I'd rather get work done than play with zoomy windows.

No problems here. Running x64 ultimate.
Like any new OS you better do a software and hardware compatibility check before installing.

In order to save proc. time?

Quite a few drivers aren't Vista ready. Some printers and other stuff might never work for Vista. A lot of companies aren't going to upgrade drivers because of the price to get them certified by Microsoft and be a certified driver.

I'm am steering clear of going to Vista and migrating to Novell SUSE on both my desktop and laptop (already migrated).

Oh I wouldnt upgrade my company to it (if i had one). It requires a lot more resources than XP, but of course that will scale with time.

One thing I figured on when I ordered my new laptop was to get 2 gig's of ram, hopefully that will be enough

I run with 2 gigs. its the sweet spot

Its better with memory managment. It USES lots of ram but thats not necessarily a bad thing

Also windows vista != aero. Thats a highly advertised feature but theres more to it than that. Yeah you can turn it off. Not to sound like a fanboy but youre spreading nonsense :]

I'm on a brand new XPS laptop with Vista and it's running great.

Pretty cool so far, however I'm only 30 minutes in
