Why Are You All Against Vista

I'm just a conservative and have been with XP for many years, would be an unnecessary change for me.

 

Agh, but don't forget the Vista gotcha!

If you play games, DX10 is only avaible with Vista!

 

Not to change the subject but link in yout signiture for worpress themes is broken. You are missing a letter in the URL.

 

You must be joking. Latitudes live and breath compatibility, there is no way they would have problems with Vista.

Toshiba are good, Sony make ridiculously overpriced machines, HP is OK but not as good as Dell.

 

Agree with you... even Vista works smooth and fine with my Dell Inspiron 1720

 

I was not talking about Latitude. I mentioned Inspiron.

 

Then don't criticise a whole company if you only use the lower-end section of their products.

 

Very true I know a few people with the lattitude and the xps and they say that they love it

 

xp is good for now but we must also follow technology as one day the older softwares will have no support just like now win95 and 98 (not sure) has no support from microsoft.

 

i just installed vista last weekend and so far it looks nice and works well
just had one minor glitch with the video card driver, had to install a less recent version for my videos to display properly

 

The missus has an XPS and it kicks ass, Core2Duo , 2GB memory, 200gb HD, 17" screen, dedicated GTX nvidia Graphics etc. etc.. ok it is £2,000.00 piece of kit, but boy does it fly!

 

BTW there Latitude desktops are known to cause problems. Just not as much as their notebooks which are made from cheap materials with expensive price tags.

 

Have you ever used a Latitude? Can you link me to reliable sources confirming what you have just said? What do you consider an "expensive price tag"?

 

DirectX10 games for WinXP not so far away....

Dell

Dell 2

While these articles are from last year (I can get more recent ones) it shows my main point. Dell is not innovation like HP and Toshiba. Its basically a MicroTel byproduct.

 

I run Vista both at work and at home and have had no problems.

I am not running on a top spec either.

Most people just love to moan about the milli second difference in the time it take their porn to load. *lame*

 

True, true. Most of the people here who hate Vista has slower run time with XP but since they expected Vista to be light speed they say its no good.

 

yeah if your into hacking, warez, viruses, rootkits, spyware and alike.

persoanlly I can afford the £100.00 for vista ultimate and a kick ass machine, and think it's cheaper than leaving my machine open to infection from these dubious, criminally minded warez projects.

 

I didn't say they were innovative, because they aren't, I said they are reliable and they work, that's what I want. If they were innovative, I wouldn't buy them.

Even better, I can afford £100 for Vista ultimate but I also have the brains not to bother. Why not spend that extra £100 (actually, more like £400) on something useful instead?

 

true people may be biased but aren't they always when it comes to this stuff?
