EDIT: lol, you'd think the anandtech forums would prevent something as silly as a blank post.

You'd think a user with over 300 posts would know to hit the edit button on said blank post 🙂

My mind has been in a mental fog all week and it showed pretty darn clearly right there, el oh el.

yeah. when XP came out there was a lot of negitive news on it. such as there is with Vista.

Saying that i sure won't switch for about another year or two. XP is fine now and No reason go with a suspect System

XP was actually an upgrade though at least for people coming from 98/ME, it offered much better stability among many other things from the NT family. ME was a crappy update to 98 that was like 98 but less stable and added a bunch of worthless junk. Which is exactly what Vista seems to be to XP.

Except for the vastly improved task scheduling for multicore, improved memory managment, improved network stack, DX10, improved UAC using hardware DEP, improved UI, and all with a faster boot time.

Lets not forget bitlocker, games for windows.... i can keep going.

Not everyone "wants" or "needs" to spend their money on vista, but to compare it to ME is pretty asinine.

I can copy and paste from microsoft.com too! 😀

That was off the top of my head...

Vista has a *LOT* of benefits, notice all the people bitching are on legacy drivers or brand new celeron peices of sh!t.

I've had no issues with Vista Ultimate (32 or 64) in the past several months.
