Yeah…have fun with Linux there buddy. If you’re too cheap to pony up the money for Vista, just bootleg it like the rest of us.

I have been running Vista ultimate since October 2007 and apart from the initial problems making some games connect to the internet which was soon fixed when Bitdefender Internet Security 2008 was installed. I have had ZERO problems since.

Whats My point?

Simple from the 1st install of Vista to being happy with my OS took somewhat 2 weeks.

Yet with XP it took nearly 2 years. My 1st install of XP eventually crashed my HDs to a point where aot of data was lost. Then XP SP1 came out and I tried again thinking it was going to cure it. BUT NO IT DIDN’T it wasn’t until the release of XP SP2 that I could say I was happy with XP, and as such stook to using Windows 2000 till that point.

I’ve seen it for many years where lots of people moan about new operating systems but the problems are usually down to user problems not having the patience nor knowledge to try and fix any issues. Unfortunately until the world decides on a uniform PC system (which will never happen) there will always be issues.

For your information I do use the latest technology in hardware which I agree might be the reason I don’t have any issues. I have built others systems since and continue to install Vista on them as there is no significant reason be it performance or reliability that would make me do otherwise.

The few FPS drop in games is not enough to make me go back to xp but the difference in visuals between dx10 and dx9 did make me want to go to Vista, and before people start to argue about the difference I’ll state one thing if its not that much why do so many people bother switching their tv sets from old analogue to new HD ones?

Same here. Been a habit fr the ‘Corporate Financial User’ experience, using/installing ‘second-hand’ stuffs while hotshots are rolling (and mostly dying) with brand new releases…

Have yet to open my Vista Business 64-bit CD, been rolling with XP Pro SP2 on the new rig ever since.

I may now be brave (or sane) enuf to finally open up my ‘Pandora CD’ and slipstream it to install. Umm, perhaps throw in another 4GB of RAM in the process… Shd now run like a toad, no?

I’m just waiting for it to come out so I can install Vista in the first place. Vista doesn’t play nice with Raptor drives on the ICHR9 South Bridge. Let me slipstream it…….

To all the windows haters, who say windows had to release a sp1 wah wah wah… apple released leopard, and then 2 months later released a 10.5.2 since they had a lot of fatal errors, look into it! Vista is the only os in the last 5 years that had minimum errors and updates on their end
