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

Why?? There is many reasons:Quote:

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...)
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
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...
thats opinion :PQuote:

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...
I prefer XP because it is much faster and more conveniant. But in a few years (or sooner) I will be switching to Vista.
XP is wayyy better. I'm not even going to think about getting vista til sp1 is out.
No shit, thats exactly what I said, Vista is good for people with good computers..FFSQuote:

Instead of bashing me for different opinions, grow some balls and point those flaws out. Yes, every OS has flaws, vista and xp, but xp has less features and shit.
and BTW, how was I being immature. I think your the immature one by making fun of other people just so people think your cool.
I give you 6 noob points, for being immature, thinking "your hot stuff" and posting a very useless post, did your post benefit anyone? No. (Toomanysitups noob tut)
vista is a simplified version of xp
proof, (since i was doing it earlier) u cant adjust the resolution of any scanned image, it scans it in automatically and you cant adjust the resolution yourself, in xp you could
LOL yer ok i suck dick, but i am a girl dumbass
give me 5 things that vista is better than xp

Dude, before you say anything learn to type...Quote:

Better Things:
Better Visuals
Search Button on start menu
More gaming capabilities
Better Security
Faster
More options
Simplified for noob users
Much more powerful
All XP programs are compatible, but not the other way around.
Now your turn dumbshit.
You don't have to be so offensive all the time eitherQuote:

Search Button on start menu So did xp.. no need for it anyway XP, didn't, besides its actually very useful....
More gaming capabilities Yep thats what I thought don't say anything.
Better Security ermmm no, look it up before u post Dude, your an idiot is has way better security features.
Faster if its a ram hog how can it be faster...Not sure, all I know is my Vista computer is way faster than my XP computer and they have similar specs.
More options That's so vague its untrue... It has way more options, I have been using it for a long time, I should know....
Simplified for noob usersThat's One thing u got right
Much more powerful Alright, don't say anything again
All XP programs are compatible, but not the other way around.what good vista only programs are there? Halo 2 :)
OK, now you still didn't answer me, whats better about XP?Quote:

Please check the last post before you actually post yourself.
Is this you have xp or vista or you prefer xp or vista? cause i have Vista on my new computer I got but I would much rather have XP i way prefer it more then vista
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 =)
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.Quote:
