Ok, then answer why do we bother advancing technology?

Because people buy newer, fancier, faster, hopefully better things.

I have a feeling someone is going to bold the word "hopefully," then make some type of remark bashing Vista.

Anyways.

Meh, seriously though. I never understood the heated battles that went on over an OS.

We need something to fight about.

Besides, most people will eventually have Vista whether they want to or not.

This is quite true. I haven't been reading any of the posts here really, but I just thought I'd like to throw out there that all of the new desktops that have been put out for sale since February, all have Windows Vista already pre-installed.

just becuase they have vista doesn't mean you can't override it to run another windows OS.

Actually, the average user does not know how to do that. Even though more people know how to format and install an OS of their choice than how to dual-boot, the percentage is still quite low.

Which is why I didn't say ALL.

DX10 is completely pointless right now. There are virtually 0 games that currently support it.

There is nothing wrong with XP's explorer nor searching.

I have a lappy with Vista, and I still like it. I'll wait until SP1 until it goes on my desktop.

TOKENS.

Wait 4-5 more months, there wont be any bugs.
I was going to get vista but then we asked one of the people working at the shop if there are still bugs in it and they said yeah, just wait a couple months.
thats why i dont have it.

Vista pwnz. Don't be fooled by common misconceptions like it's a memory hawg. It uses the RAM differently, but it still runs things well; just as smooth as XP. If you're saying that XP is better, then you're retarded. It's virtually the same thing. Gaming companies just got lazy and never bothered testing specifically for Vista. You're gonna get pwnd by linux or mac anyways so give it up and at least get the latest m$ product b4 you argue in favor of a m$ product...

Also, if you don't have enough HDD space for vista...get moar bytez f00l. HDDs are like 300GB standard now; delete some anime or some junk.

This post makes no sense.

First off, if 'Vista and XP are virtually the same thing', why are there so many problems? Even more importantly, why should one upgrade? Also, it shouldn't be up to the game companies to test everything they made 10 years ago with Vista--that's in M$' bag.

Secondly, the 300GB 'standard' is wayyyyy off. Laptops don't have 300GB standard--you're lucky to get 100-120GB usually. Desktops are a different beast but then again, my brother just got a PC with an 80GB HDD.

To end, both statements are completely invalid and often self-contradicting.

(P.S. It is a bad memory hog. And it has been, since Beta 1 when I first tried it.)

Vista IS the same as XP. That's what m$ does. They take their first OS and build on it (creating 'problems'). We saw the same with XP but it's still better than previous windows releases is it not? If you want 10 year old games to run, get a 10 year old OS. Vista is still an improvement.

300GB standard is not way off. Almost every new desktop has around there. Secondly, with 100-120 GB...can u store a 15GB vista? Durr...

What Problems? I haven't found any problems with Vista, no bug or crashes.

It is not Microsofts responsibility to make sure all the drivers work... I would also agree 300GB is pretty much standard on anything above a bargain computer...

BAHAHAHA. Yeah, when a manufacturer makes a totally new operating system and makes so many integral "improvements" that so many system devices fail to work, it's not the OS manufacturer's fault at all. Nope. Basic stuff, like memory card readers, that worked just fine previously now fail, and the responsibility for those drivers ceasing to function... that problem does not lie with Microsoft at all.

Oh, and when an "express upgrade" causes the blue screen of death, it's probably not a good thing.

g4z33b0 · 03-15-2007, 08:35 AM

Why is this thread still alive? Vista is at the moment a bad OS.

I thought this was hilarious.

So NT is the same as Windows 95, eh? I guess Windows XP is based on DOS too?

Get a 10 year old operating system to run 10 year old apps? You're suggesting we use Windows 95 to run Windows 95 applications instead of Vista. That's not what anyone is complaining about. People are complaining about apps for Windows XP which are quite new not running correctly on Vista. Yeah, Vista has computability mode to counteract compatibility issues, but there's no way in hell it works too great. It worked good enough for me to run MapleStory, I'll admit, but I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult for someone upgrading from XP to find apps that fail. My computer with Vista was brand new, so everything on it was downloaded or came on it.
