what makes vista better

For those who may not know, Vista with SP1 will be the same codebase as Longhorn, ie Windows 2008. Microsoft are bringing back the convergent of technologies it had when Windows 2000 Server and Professional were around.

There will be many benefits to be seen in the workplace environment, especially security-wise.

As far as normal everyday users go, get the highest Vista you can afford and get a good graphics card, someone has already mentioned how cheap RAM is as well.

All in all, we will all end up using Vista, just as we did XP. The code base for the 2 is quite different, even more so when SP1 for Vista comes around.

 

I don't think I've ever seen a real Vista fan yet. Personally, I'm dreading having Vista forced on me by my college's laptop program. Also, I heard people are getting those "Vista only" games working perfrectly well on XP - which Microsoft had claimed was impossible.

 

What I really like about Vista is how you use the Start Bar for searching for programs instead of clicking through tons of menus in XP

 

I think Vista is just the next step for the OS once other companies get moving with DX10 than we will see M$ start tying to improve it so it can better manage resources once they have Competition out there that can make an OS that looks like there it may get them moving in the direction we need it to go.

 

I hate vista... It's slower and at times it just goes crazy. a bit like xp when it first came out. that's microsoft for you

 

Vista is much more stable then XP I think. Until now I didnt have to install any service pack like XP.
It wasnt nice of MS though not supporting legacy softwares.

 

looks lke vista is gaining popularity.......may want to try it out......for the moment I will still stick to my XP......

 

I dig it. I run a lot of graphics programs and it seems to run a little faster than the same on my old XP machine.

 

I still need to try out a game that runs DX10 on it.

So once I do that it will really make my day.

 

i think its feature makes him better then other

 

To be honest, my experience with vista hasn't been pretty. A couple of the apps don't run, and the OS is a power hog. The only plus would be the awesome GUI.

 

Yeah go back to xp lol

 

Vista is not much better than xp, there are a few things it excceeds at but other than that it was just released for microsoft to gain more money

 

Mmmmm pretty GUI's....

 

Vista is good in GUI... but its performance sucks.... its not responding quickly...

 

for me i love the graphical user interface and all the sidebad gadgets. thats the only thing that attracted me to vista. the graphic interface

 

i had vista and i turned back to windows xp pro is much faster than vista.
Vista needs more improvement with device recognition.
waiting for vista sp1.
