I’m running Vista on two systems and they are more reliable and more powerful than any other version of Windows I have run before. The only thing I don’t like is that my flight simulators, designed for Windows, aren’t compatible with Vista.

Vista is not compatible with a lot of good software. This is why Windows 7 on the high end will have XP virtual machine built in. The problem is Microsoft may not put their VM on the lower end versions of Windows 7 which is shooting them sleves in the head again. It will only help Apple if they do that.

Agreed. I run vista on two HP machines with Intel quad core processors and never once had a BSOD.

I have no intention to migrate to Windows 7 (unless they give it to me)

Mine ain’t broke so why bother fixing?

Uh, what flight simulators are you running? I had FS2002, FS2004, FSX and XPlane on my Vista machine. I then installed W7 over Vista and every sniggling detail was perfectly imported, or whatever it’s called. All my button assignments on the CH yoke, all my settings in each sim, everything.

Every flight sim works perfectly. That’s why I’m curious you’re not able to do it.
