Vista or XP?

XP until you can get windows 7

 

Windows XP is far more stable than Vista, in relation with speed manufacturers are shipping out computers with the minimum amount of ram required for vista resulting in poor performance, Thus why vista recieves such horrible reviews. Windows 7 hopes to improve on these factors, in reality, windows 7 is what vista should of been but microsoft got greedy and shipped it out way to early in my opinion. Looking forward to windows 7, we'll see.

 

Agree with this! I love Windows 7. In the process of writing a long review of it...

 

I use Vista on Dell Precision M6300 and this is first hardware that works ok with Vista.

But I will go with Windows 7 in future.

 

Windows 7 all the way.. I was a die hard fan of XP !

Using win 7 on my core i7 and works like a charm..

 

XP never favor than vista for many factor, such as you told below. That why vista user can not higher than XP. Microsoft itself told about that. Now microsoft coming with Windows 7.

 

Yee Windows 7 will probably rock the planet

 

XP is definately better, more stable.

 

XP and wait for Windows 7 to get stable and reliable.

 

I prefer to use Vista over XP. I got Vista with my new PC. I had problems getting familiarized with Vista in the beginning but now it works good with Vista.

 

i think both is better.

 

xp cause it supports more programs

 

Looking at the stability of OS, my take is go with XP. In future, better to upgrade to Windows 7.

 

Windows XP Black Edition.

 

Use the Win7 beta until it is released. Vista blows, 7 is great. Or ubuntu

 

Yes, ubuntu is better. But windows 7 will give much tough competition to it in terms of stability.

 

i prefer now vista, i go to try windows 7 in a few months for test the stability

 

I prefer Xp but use Vista too.

 

Windows Vista is quite simply next generation Millenium Edition.

Vista to XP is what Windows ME was to Windows 98 ..

All of the service packs in the galaxy could never cause Vista to be anything more than a still stumbled attempt on Microsoft's part to force upgrades .. and .. as you can see .. it backfired .. just like Windows ME did.

Our systems are a 70/30 cross between XP-Pro and Ubuntu.

Windows XP will have extended support through, and quite possibly even beyond 2015, so I'm not seeing us making changes anytime soon.

Ubuntu is making some headway with us, in that 30% of our systems are currently running it.

I bought my wife a new laptop last year, and after countless hours of frustration and bugs, I finally ran a reformat, departitioned the C drive, and installed Windows XP-Pro.

Windows Vista is so bad, that even it's Premium Edition is priced lower than XP-Pro ... that, on it's own, is quite telling.

Windows Vista will be one that gets skipped over. Just like Windows ME was.

 

I am a Supporter and yes,
XP is definately better, more stable.
Vista is crap ,only good when you have very good Hardware.
Linux is better.
