I love vista. It works perfectly. Much better than XP In my opinion, and thats coming from an experienced computer user. And ARonald is correct, you do need a fairly powerful - midrange system for it to work well.
I run the vista home premium on : Intel Core2Duo 1.66GHz 667MHz 2GB DDR2 RAM 667MHz 80GB SATA HDD with 28GB FREE Intel 945GM Chipset 1-it run like suck, 2-starting slow, 3-running programme often sudden stop working,programme close but still present in the task manager and cannot end the process even and have to restart to solve it, 4-no responding sometimes, 5-sometimes take too long time to shut the computer down,etc So now I shift to Fedore Core 8 Don't know how such big firm their programmers doing what?Keep releasing the patches?
Impossible, I'm running on: Intel Celeron processor 540 1,86Ghz Intel Mobile graphics media accelerator x3100 252MB 1GB DDR2 And it's working FINE
I love vista. Have it on all my PC's and everyone I know has it. Runs fine if you have the correct system. I did try to run it on my old PC (which was really bad) and I sounded like it was shredding the harddrive. Its easy to use and looks cool!
After initially not liking the OS, I have been using Vista for about 5 months now and I really like it! There are always some issues, but nothing major... it runs very smoothly once its all booted up
Uh...read the posts above you, there a lot of good words too =/ Just some people are stupid enough to run vista on a win98 pc, that has been posted before.
I love the GUI of Vista, but I prefer to use Windows XP Professional 64-bit edition. Vista is a great operating system once you have removed the unnecessary junk and disabled the useless services. However, with Windows XP Pro 64-bit edition, my laptop will be much faster than right now. I am using my laptop as a workstation so I want to get the best performance possible. I have to keep Vista until Sony releases the fz410e downgrade drivers.
Seems Microsoft loves doing this. I think it has to do with the fact that people love hacking into their system so easily that Microsoft changes things around to slow them down.
I think people who think Vista sucks is because they run in to driver problems that slow down vista / make it not work. This isn't vista's fault, this is the software's fault. The companies that can't keep up with updating thier software sucks!
Vista is alright with me. I have a laptop with the following specs: AMD Athlon X2 TK53+ Dual Core Mobile with AMD Power NOW Technology 2 GBs DDR2 RAM NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 LE 559 MB Graphics 250 GB SATA HDD I run PCSX2 with good framerates of around 30-40 FPS That in itself satisifies me... I also do have a tendency to run Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash Professional , Windows Media Player, Firefox, and Notepad all the same time with little issues.
I also run this applications with XP with no problem. Which is why most people don't upgrade. No need to since XP does such a great job.
wanting to buy Dell XPS One......only issue is it comes only with Vista......what do i do?.....is Vista really that bad? thanks tony
did a fresh install of vista on my pc then removed it after 30 days, very slow, did not like it at all. Went back to xp in the end.
You can reformat your hard drive and put XP on it..but I have Vista on my pc and I have no problems with it at all. I wouldn't worry about getting it.
