XP or VISTA?

As the title says, XP or VISTA? this is a POLL where you can vote for VISTA or XP! the one that winns will i buy for my new own build computer!

 

vista faster than xp but i think wait windows 7 beta because windows 7 is a wonderfull

 

Ok! do you know when it will be reallesed and how mutch it will cost?

 

Now i have readed that it will be reallesed in the end of 2009...

 

windows 7 (7000.0.081212-1400) will be relased in january 7 support language english german japanese arabic...

 

I will go with XP without any doubt .

 

Vista came out after XP, Vista has a lot of visual improvements comparing to XP.
But, Vista does not include everything XP pro has, for ex. faxing software.
Xp has a lot of patches to improve looking and still supported for updates.
Why do you need to pay more ? Even you would get less functioning software
unless you purchase Vista Ultimate.

 

XP is more customizable than any other OS so my vote goes for it.

 

XP... More stable

 

Keeep vote! I thinky i will go for XP cus many of my friends told me that Vista uses mutch RAM memory! but i dont know if it is true, and my friend have Vista but when i was at him and tried to make sites (i often code php sites for my friend xD) it was mutch harder with Vista!

 

vista, it's the best
btw.. congrats on the original idea for this thread, I'm surprised no one has asked this yet

 

HEhe! i was also surprised! hehe this is one of the biggest computer forum in the whole world! and nobody asked this question!

 

True, Vista is not that bad. But is not good enough yet to make me wan’t to upgrade.
Speed is King for me, and my XP is faster.

 

When I initially came on Vista 5 months back, i was like "What the hell". Then I got my computer upgraded, got myself a core 2 Quad processor, 4 GB or RAM, and a 512 Nvidia 9800 GT Card. Installed Vista 64 bit onto it, and now I must say , it's Wow! Definitely faster than XP, fewer bugs after SP1, and easier to set up as in networking and all. So, conclusion is, if you got hardware to support it, go for Vista, else stick with XP.

 

Well ive tried both and i find xp to be alot faster than vista,i only think vista is superior to xp in visual improvements,other than that, i find xp so be far more better

 

still on Xp will stick to it till i upgrade my hardware to some better one which has 4gb ram

 

From last three years i am using xp and i am satisfied from it , I don't think i need any other update for next few years too .

 

Four months ago, I would have said XP, no contest. On my machines and those of my clients even SP1 fixed little if any of the issues I was having in terms of stability - my own workstation attempting to run Vista being so unstable I was lucky if I could keep it running for more than 20 minutes at a time - which is why I kept going back to XP x64. Usually when I reported my problems in threads like this one you'd get some jackass saying "Well only people with older machines have these sorts of problems" - Serious STFU territory when the workstation in question is a 680i mainboard, Q6600 CPU, 8 gigs of RAM, two Ge8 series video cards (NOT in SLI, driving three monitors).

All this changed back in late august. In july Microsoft had released numbers of error reports and their likely causes - MOST of which pointed NOT to Vista, but to shoddy drivers from the hardware manufacturers. The worst offender? nVidia, though Intel, Creative and ATI shared a good deal of blame. Given my configuration is a nForce chipset mainboard, ge8800 Video and a creative sound card, I was triple-damned.

AFTER that information was released the hardware makers could no longer point their fingers back at M$, and FINALLY got off their asses and fixed most of their drivers. I've been running Vista Ultimate x64 since august without a problem thanks to the driver base FINALLY being mature. Between SP1 and the new drivers Vista has become not only as stable as XP x64, but FASTER as well.

Thankfully I always keep a spare drive handy for OS testing, on the principle you don't have the right to badmouth anything you haven't tried. Every time there's been a major update since the release, I tried it (Just as I try every major release of OS X, Debian stable, Ubuntu, Suse and Fedora). They finally got it right and now Vista is my primary OS.

 

i voted for XP...
