Windows XP-Vista

[kellyan95]

Microsoft's awesome support for the next 5 years

I kid, I kid

How about a gaming platform that will put PC back where it belongs?

My God, do you people know ANYTHING about Vista?

Let me school you:
It's much more secure than XP
It's not a ram hog - with µTorrent, NOD32, Windows Defender, and Windows Firewall, I use 29% of my 2GB, which is 600MB. 700MB if I have superfetch on. Down to 400MB or less if I'm running GoW or Crysis
You don't need a DX10 card, my DX9 card is owning Vista
It's not XP 2.0, it's a completely new OS built from the ground up
I have had no compatability issues, and with the new patches and hotfixes, neither should you
With said patches and hotfixes, Vista performs better than XP
vLite exists, so you can make a Vista installation as barebone as you want it
Using Dreamscene with the BioShock intro video = massive win
It uses 2-10% of my CPU with NOD32 and Opera running

Stop bashing Vista.

Just a little perspective here...
I was there when nobody wanted to upgrade to 95
I was there when nobody wanted to upgrade to 98
I was there when nobody wanted to upgrade to XP
I was there... wait... I'm here now!

You all (or damn most of you) will eventually be running Vista.
Anybody here still using 98?

Just dual boot ffs. >.>

I had 98 installed on my old PC (It had 512MB of ram, in 1999!)
Upgraded it to XP last year.....insanely faster.
Might try Vista on it

one of my most cherished poem.

on topic: Windowblinds is 10000x easier than vista transformation pack, etc. Ive used it for a while and it even fooled my bro (who uses vista everyday).


off topic: I used to use vista on my laptop and quickly turned back to xp. My pc ran faster, played more games, you name it. Vista is like OSX, just a bunch of flashy effects that are pretty much useless and take up resources (the flip 3d thing that replaces alt-tab is proof of this). Xp is just more reliable for the time being.
