I still have a (legit) copy of 2k Pro floating around somewhere. :Q

I have 3 PCs and a laptop.

2 PCs and laptop with Vista. One desktop with win 7 beta 64. There are a couple quirks I don't like about it, but if I can, I will get Win7 through campus. If not, I'm going back to Vista 64 because XP is not up to my gaming needs.

 

[lifeobry]

I'll probably stick with Vista until I build a new computer.. which probably won't be for a few years.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I'll most likely stay with xp for at least the next 12 months. I'll install windows 7 in a VM (I have the beta already) but I wont be using it in production for a while. Vista I will just skip over completly, and 7 we'll see. I may even just go with Ubuntu.

I have no reason to upgrade from xp

dont get me wrong, i do like Vista, it's just still too young, and XP SP4 is so stable, and that's really important to me because i dont enjoy reinstalling my OS every few months like i used to in my younger days. W7 looks promising though, i'll give it a couple years to mature and then i'll move to it, pretty much skipping Vista all together, i installed it, kept it for about a month and then went back to XP MCE.

Vista is infinitely more stable than XP ever was or could be

i hope this is a joke...

vista is no where NEAR as stable as XP SP4, think about what your saying for a minute, on one hand you have a fairly new OS, with two service packs released, and on the other hand you have an OS that has been around over 6 years, has FOUR service packs released with no more planned, and is pretty much by microsoft considered "finalized" the only MS OS that is more stable than XP is Win2k, which everything up until now has been built on. It was the godfather of all NT based windows OS's.. well technically i guess NT 4.0 would be but it lacked some really important things that came into play with NT5 (win2k)

werd, 2000 is still the best OS to use for machines that aren't quite quick enough to run XP nice and snappy (pre-barton Athlon XP's, pre-northwood P4's) 2k is just an all around GREAT OS, especially for business applications, or environments with alot of workstations that dont need the prettiness of XP, as XP and 2k are basically the same thing.

 

[jinduy]

i agree 2k is quite solid before i hopped onto XP.

still running XP on my 4 year old machine. probably won't upgrade unless it chokes on starcraft II

Never had any crashes with Vista or W7 that were OS related. The only BSOD I ever saw was due to a faulty video card, and even then in both Vista and W7 it made every attempt to restart the video driver. This worked 9/10 times. If it were XP it would have crashed 10/10 times.

and this is what your basing your argument on? lol

i do like how vista attempts to restart drivers when they crash, but a clean XP install with WHQL drivers wont ever crash, so there's no point... no crash = no need to restart a faulty driver

 

[zanejohnson]

im sure vista will be every bit as stable as XP whenever its to the maturity of XP (SP4) and it may even be a better OS because "theoretically" it has a better memory management subsystem than XP, but from what i've read on W7, this has been improved upon even more, so really W7 will be the next big "leap" in the MS OS line, like the "leap" from 98 to 2000 was, with the move from FAT to NTFS, so yeah, i think i'll probably stick with XP until W7 is mainstream, im not a gamer so i dont have the need for DX10 and that's the only reason i would be using Vista right now...

So not only do you have a 99 Impala but you also have XP Service Pack 4.

You sir, are the BOMB!

Are you posting from the future?

 

[Red Squirrel]

There's a SP4 for xp? I had no idea. I'm on SP2 lol. Everything is rock solid so I have no reason to do any major updates.

 

[videogames101]

W7 is really nice, I didn't like Vista, and W7 brings back a cleaner feel.

 

[StinkyPinky]

XP SP4?! i'm sure it's just SP3. SP3 was only released last year, and I doubt MS will waste time on a new SP for a 8 year old OS.
