[JM Aggie08]

[evident]

vista rocks

 

[secretanchitman]

it still bogs down on me today on my OCed quad core system, even with SP1 and those few things (indexing, UAC, etc) turned off. i always find myself reverting back to xp pro sp3.

Then you're doing it wrong.

Stop and think: almost all of us are using Vista with no hangups. It's you buddy.

its fast when i just do a clean install, once i load my apps on it (very few), it slows down.

same thing on my dads macbook pro, and my brothers imac 3.06Ghz...it just hates us i guess.

im anxiously awaiting for windows 7.

Vista x64 is the best Windows I've used yet.

Which Vista did you try on that rig? Have you stress-tested your system after overclocking?

 

[Adul]

runs well for me.

 

[Googer]

The digital future starts here. In the toilet?

 

[Nik]

There's no reason for me to upgrade from XP to Vista. None.

 

[rocadelpunk]

i can't go back to xp now, it's so dull and lifeless and I have no problems with vista whatsoever. It's quite snappy on my x200 laptop and 4400x2

Nope. I dual-boot Vista only when I want to play DX10. Other than that it is worthless.

That is true for me as well, but there's also no reason for me to install XP on my new laptop either. I'm waiting on the install discs so I can get a clean setup going. Vista has worked well for me though on the few different machines I've used it on. Is it perfect? Certainly not, but Linux and MacOS can't claim to be either.

Something I don't like is that Dell and many other manufacturers don't give you the option for 64 bit versions. HP does it for free (on Home Premium), so I don't know why Dell can't as well. Maybe they automatically do 64 bit if you order 4GB or more? Does Microsoft offer any sort of a cheap upgrade from 32 to 64 bit for OEM versions? I would assume not.

I need to check the price for Vista licenses and maybe buy one while I can still get a student discount. I'm curious to see what happens to Vista when Windows 7 comes out.

Excuse me, but why am I an idiot, exactly?

Agreed. XP works for just about everything without all the bloat and near perfect compatibility. I'd rather use my extra gigabyte of ram for applications instead of the operating system. Lean and mean baby.
