Vista is the bastard child of Millenium Edition.
Service Pack 1 is lipstick on a pig.

I opted out of Vista with my new Dell laptop, but I retain the certificate if I ever wanted to make the gamble.
I’ve never had any problems with XP Professional.

I was at my Dad’s over Thanksgiving. He’s really sorry he got a Vista machine. I have no intention of “upgrading” my two XP machines any time soon. They’re running fine.
To: Zakeet
Yeah and what burns me the most is that they try to force Vista on everyone. I cant even use directx 10. wtf?
Love me some XP though! mmmm, mmmmm...

I love Vista, sort of. It’s a nice user interface, and it has a really cool feature that lets you start typing stuff and it finds it in the start menu, which is enormously helpful. HOWEVER, the fact that several of my apps totally stopped working just because I moved to Vista really really pisses me off.

They tested a beta service pack. Vista is much more secure than Windows XP. Its so new hackers have yet to write malware for it.

Windows is the Homer Simpson of the computing world. They just can’t ever get it right.

I agree!! I bought a Toshiba laptop with 1 gig of RAM, and it was like 98 with 4 megs - SLOW and UNSTABLE! Upgraded to 2 gigs, it is much better, but XP is still superior. Wish I could downgrade!

Similar situation here. I bought my wife a new laptop for her home-based business. Thought I was doing a great thing only to find out that there are NO drivers for my HP AIO printer. And none planned. HP’s answer? Let me show you to a new printer, sir. UHG!

Isn’t it part of the EULA that you will not publish any results of benchmarking tests?
I heard that somewhere.

Its so new hackers have yet to write malware for it. Funny that, because they are beginning to hit my bench with viruses on board... I guess it could just be backward compatibility... no, wait... can't be that... it's Vista :P

Vista is much more secure than Windows XP That's because nobody can use it................

I just wish it would quit asking every day whether I want to cancel or allow the weather channel desktop.
