vista or XP?

[footballjds]

vista is slow but its the new *cool* version, i prefer the faster XP.
how about everyone else?

[Rct33]

I'm using XP right now, but when Vista releases new and faster drivers, i may swap.

[King of Knives]

My Vista has only been a direct cause of annoying and problems. I get 2 stop-errors each day. And it's NOT just me. Try and google "Vista freeze" or "iastor problems".

Everyone who's thinking about switching to Vista; Don't!

Ok, If I gotta choose between XP and Vista, gimme XP :D

[footballjds]

yeah, ive trid vista, it horible! just like widows 93 was better than ME. microsoft makes a horible one than next makes a good one, hopefully the same will be the case here.

[EvilChicken!]

TinyXP as host OS ftw.
I'm beginnning to realize that its somehow faster than XP.

Where to get?
Look on a VM tut. :D

[chewgun]

XP baby. for me,it stands for Xtreme Performance.

Vista is just for those who are really media savvy.And for looks.

[realrocker00]

I think i am the only one using vista :o
but its on my new laptop and i am happy with it

7-1 lead for Xp, you're a big underdog. :p


But really, my friend has a dualcore laptop and it runs slower with vista than by athlon 2000+ xp pc. (768mb ram, he has 1 or 2 gigs:eek: .)

[Scaper]

xp all theway coz of the bad reports vista has had never had a realy bad problem yet that i couldnt fix my self *touches wood* but yea imo xp is way better. but aint they realsing a new vista? thay is gunna be wkd?

Gotta be XP.

What do i think about Vista? A version of XP with a search on everything, no organised folders, and lots of junk widgets that cover up half your screen so you need to close them to do anything else other than look at them.

[Runescapian321]

I have Vista. It's alright, but I would prefer XP. My dad has XP and I would use his computer over mine any day :p

[llib]

I'd take Xp over vista any day. If I wanted the Vista theme, I'd download it on my Xp. :)

I love XP! Its way better

Yep, Linux :). Linux can be pretty AND efficient.

But I choose XP, definitely.

EDIT: Revised view on Linux as of one year and one day later: n00b.

[XRaye]

i think vista is awesome, but i have slow computer that was designed for xp, so not the best experience, so if i had really fast computer would like vista, but xp is best for me right now

[mickaliscious]

I like how only one person chose vista in that poll. Vista really is just fancier looking, no real benefits over xp that I can find besides that. Takes more memory, doesn't do jack except make you run stuff as admin... Idk, maybe its safer lmao.

Well I have xp and it runs great, lol. Worth paying geeksquad the money to delete all the unnecessary stuff for me lol. But I have a free Vista upgrade which I may never use but who cares??? I might once they fix it up some.

[itSchRis917]

XP! Vista BLOWS!!!! i have it right now, but not by choice..

[R0b0t1]

BAD VISTA! (badvista.org)

[Digbarry905]

I think it is more efficient to run XP on my AMD Athlon XP 2200+ based desktop. I'm not running anything that has DX10, so I don't need to "upgrade" yet.

[fom]

Ok, some of the people who bitch about Vista have never even TRIED Vista. I have Vista and with the right system and computer knowledge it works PERFECTLY. Some people say Vista has nothing better than XP, look it up I dare you and post the list and you will see what is better about it. People who say its slower must be running 512mb ram, some piece of shit integrated graphics card along with a piece of shit integrated sound card, oh how could I forget the single core 0.8 GHz processor. Yeah then pick XP cause Vista does require a decent computer, once you have a good computer then you will notice the benefits. Oh, and the people complaining about getting error messages all the time, its YOU not the OS.

There, post some good opinions about XP vs Vista. For me Vista works perfectly with no problems at all. I dont hate XP by the way I just prefer Vista.

[natinsatin1]

Ok well first of all fuck you all who go with XP. If you open up your eyes you will realize that you computer doesn't excede the recomended computer specs (you wana allways be beyond because the recomended is allways bare minimum) My friend has a falcon nw computer and to all you fps gamers you know what kind of company that is. He has vista ultamite 64bit and has never had 1 single error. If you get vista at least have a dual procesor, a good graphics card (nvidia series 7 or better), and at least 2 gigs of ram and you will actually enjoy it a lot more then vista

[grey_smurf]

XP all the way the only reason i would buy vista is for Halo 2 PC version

I completely agree with you, I'm running intel core 2 duo with 2 gigs of ram and a nvidia 8400. Of course a new operating system is gonna take new technology so stop bitching about vista with your computer that can barely take the runescape min requirements.

[Lee Lok Hin]

Look not everyone has a

1.Intel core 2 duo
2. 2 gigs of ram

and a

3.nividia 8400


Some of use dont want to spend 10k on upgrades just to run windows *oh so mighty* VISTA on our computer when windows XP works perfectly fine

XD

Thats all i have to say

[footballjds]

yeah xp all the way!

so much faster!

and no shity adim only crap!

[FEAR]

I agree with guyer^^^^ I had a look at the vista screenshot when it was first released and I was like "WTF WHERE IS THE SCREEN????" lol. It was filled with junk and the theme itself makes my eyes water lol....

So I would choose and recomend XP :D

@natinsatin1

...He has vista ultamite 64bit and has never had 1 single error. If you get vista at least have a dual procesor, a good graphics card (nvidia series 7 or better), and at least 2 gigs of ram and you will actually enjoy it a lot more then vista

If we get Vista with good processor and hardware, we will enjoy it a lot more than VISTA? LOL !!!

~~FEAR~~

[n3ss3s]

FEAR, I think he meant vista premium.

Somebody tell me, can you run counter-strike: source on Vista, do other games run well on Vista, does Vista have good drivers?

I think the answer will be no.

Will the things I'm doing and running on XP run as good as on Vista? I don't think so, if I buy a new computer, it most likely has a Vista, so do I need to dl/ buy a new Xp? :8

[Kosaki]

I am doing programing for a living and have a very high end computer. I am using vista x64 simply because all the extra suport I get. I have only had blue screen 4 times and it was my bad that they came (Huge memory leaks)

Well just so I can feel proud heres my pc.

Core 2 quad 2,66 ghz.
8 GB ram (only shows 7,2 GB, but Windows is Windows)
2 x 8800GT (Running SLI technology)

And have some very big fans too:
2 x 300mm (I think they are 300 mm if not they are even bigger.)
3 x 150 mm
And a HUGE CPU fan :P

With this pc everything runs smooth...I run crysis with over 70 fps (its down on 50 sometimes when I nuke the whole screen down with the TAC gun)

[Kasi]

vista is cool but if uv gt the new ipower pc with water cooling the cd drive makes alot of noise

[JuKKa]

Windows 98 or 99 - But not millenium.

Xp if its between Xp and vista.

[gamer 5]

XP!

I upgraded my computer to vista but then, I got :fiery: because it was acting like :sasmokin: !
so I downgraded again, that was a big mistake!
DONT MAKE YOUR COMPUTER VISTA!

[Negaal]

Ah, Vista just looks nice...so...I got windows XP with Vista theme...
And I can't afford vista ^^ - My computer can't

We got Vista in school...actually no problems with that...just updates

XP FTW!

Edit:
@To LinuX users, how can you use exe, zip, rar, and such what are for Microsoft Company?

[R0b0t1]

Why is he wasting that computer with Vista? Seriously?


Linux versions FTW! Check out Gentoo or however its spelled.

[n3ss3s]

Would someone god damn tell me that if I now go and buy a computer than has Vista infektion, can I downgrade to XP by getting a damn cd and kicking it in there and then do some magic in the startup or what? >:/

[[S]paz]

if your hard disk drive has no important files on it, then you can buy vista, format the C drive and install xp pro on it, if you wish, and get rid of vista

~Spaz

[Kosaki]

Why is he wasting that computer with Vista? Seriously?


Linux versions FTW! Check out Gentoo or however its spelled.

Why?? There is many reasons:
Because I write programs for windows platform...
Because I use Visual Studio 2008...(Don't work in linux and other OS's.)
Because I write in D3D10 and its not supported fully in other OS's (Yeah I know about the program that lets XP do DX 10, but you loose extremely much FPS)

And I have debian also on it (remote hard drive) Use it as dedicated server when I am on holiday and such...(Running everything from CSS to BattleField 2142 and Crysis servers...)

[[S]paz]

but vista is such a ram hog, uses lots of resources and i feel is a simplified xp for dummies (no offence), just has nice gui and flashy stuff

~Spaz

[Kosaki]

Yeah it sucks RAM. I totaly agree with that.

I use vista ultimate x64 and only the OS itself sucks 2 gig ram. I only use Vista for DX 10 and for the great "team" applications. It let you easily work in teams when developing something.

Yeah vista is also simplified, thats good for newbie users...But I have no problems with that it is simplified...

[stein3]

yeah, ive trid vista, it horible! just like widows 93 was better than ME. microsoft makes a horible one than next makes a good one, hopefully the same will be the case here.

thats opinion :P

They make one more business themed, then one for average users.

ME and Vista are for average users.
2000 and XP are more business themed.

I have vista on 2 computers, and nothing has gone wrong. More goes wrong with my XP...

[MasterSparta]

I prefer XP because it is much faster and more conveniant. But in a few years (or sooner) I will be switching to Vista.

[MylesMadness]

XP is wayyy better. I'm not even going to think about getting vista til sp1 is out.

personally, Windows 2000 FTW!
but XP with graphics options set to "performance" is almost as good.
the new start menu just kinda bothers me.

[Laimonas171]

XP, maybe then comes "Windows 7" new version OS from microsoft.. Looks like vista but works like XP, hm that would be good :? but it comes just 2009-2010

I say xp is way better then vista would ever be,but theres going to me no more vista by the end of the year =)

[Daniel]

Vista will become a lot better with the upcoming release of Service Pack 2. Beta testers have already noted that it is a lot faster than the current (non-BETA) service pack (1).

Oh, by the way, yes i grave-dug. I grave-dug a grave that wasn't very deep and it only took one hit of the shovel to dig it up completely... In other words, i grave-dug a topic that is at the top of this forum.

XP All of the way!
Vista has a lot of problems and a lot of people complain about it.
In about 6 months a new version of Windows is coming out! Its gonna be awsome! Looks sweet and everything people complained about is being changed.
Cant wait for it. Dont go to vista. Stay with xp until the new Windows version: Windows 7.

Not too many problems, and the only reason why a lot of people complain about it is because it is very VERY different from Windows XP. And people aren't that used to it.

And yes, Windows Se7en does look quite impressive.

Linux! well since its not there ill go with xp, but Linux is still faster.
