Posted June 19, 200618 yr Administrator Let us know what you think. Personally, I'm going to stick with my current OS for a while. :P
June 19, 200618 yr Hmmm, all depends on whether I can ever download the Beta for it. Want to have a play around with it before I make a final decision. However, looking at the processing speed and other requirements needed I'll probably hang off getting the Final till I get a complete new system. Cheers :P
June 19, 200618 yr Let us know what you think.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good topic I'll be sticking with XP until it MS and/or hardware vendors drop support for it. XP is fairly attractive and usable as it is, and I see no reason to upgrade to a much larger, more resource-hungry OS until that much computing power becomes common-place. Also, supposedly Vista contains 5x more code than XP, yet they still claim it is more secure... I highly doubt that. Even if MS worked around the clock to keep bugs out, that much code can't be combed over in the time they alotted for creating Vista. I will wait AT LEAST two or three years after Vista's release until I buy it, since there will be plenty of insecurities exploited up to that point. I think Vista could be a really cool experience, but the kinks need to be worked out first.
June 19, 200618 yr Not on this computer, doesn't meet the hardware requirements! Plus can't afford to; and the stuff lokoike said, I agree with, too.
June 19, 200618 yr I'll stick with XP until about a year after it's release which will be when I get a new computer.
June 25, 200618 yr I am running Win 2000Pro on all 3 of my computers, never a bit of problems! I will stick with Win2000
June 25, 200618 yr I will stick with XP for a few years. I'm in the process of completely switching to Linux. I'm done with Windows.
June 26, 200618 yr Never, if i don't use a wireless that doesn't accept Linux, i long ago not a window user anymore. But actually, i will take a look at Vista and see how others are working with it, if it is fine, we will see.
June 28, 200618 yr I'll use it (and I've already been using the public beta build), as it's going to be important to my career and knowledge.
June 29, 200618 yr Sounds great, but too bloated. I love Win2k, but WinXP drivers are great too. I'm anxious to see what Dx10 and Direct hardware rendering can do, though.
June 29, 200618 yr i'll stick with xp the only time that i will use Vista is when all the Genuine Advantage bs disappears
June 30, 200618 yr Probably the only member here but I'll probably go with Vista after a 1 year has passed over its release. I wanna make sure all the bugs and some updates get released and rolling. I may need to add more memory since I only have 768MB. I'll probably go to 1GB in a couple of months.
July 14, 200618 yr I'll test it on a virtual machine first. From what I've heard, VMware has handeld the Beta release ok so far.
July 14, 200618 yr I don't have the hardware to run Vista, and no money to buy it either >< I've had Win2k until recently, when a friend gave me a OEM of XP Home.
July 17, 200618 yr I'm gonna stick with my XP, at least until people find all the bugs and crap of Vista... I dunno though, was thinking of never buying it because it looks exactly like a Mac in my opinion. *edit* link i found comparing the 2... lol. http://lifehacker.com/software/top/windows...os-x-179909.php
July 23, 200618 yr I will be getting vista I am running Vista 5456 on a laptop and so far so good, except for the BSoDs that i always get at shut-down and hibernation....but i think thats caused by my antivirus because when i disable PCCillian everything goes well...
July 24, 200618 yr I may try Vista......after I spend $1200 on a new computer to meet the system specs.....and after they get all the bugs ironed out.....and after they make it secure.....and after HELL FREEZES OVER. :eyeroll: Until then, I'll stay with XP.
July 26, 200618 yr I'll stick with 98se for a while then dual boot with 2k and then dual boot with 98 and xp and think about looking at vista in a few years when i have a computer that meets the minimum system requirements
August 7, 200618 yr of course I'm switching to vista, why else would i spend a grand on a new computer, *sigh* I'm broke for a while :P
August 18, 200618 yr Nope, i'm not going to use Vista. I'm good with win xp.. i'm getting my macbook end of this month so i dont think i'll use my desktop that much! xD
August 18, 200618 yr G'day folks, for those thinking of using Vista, you might want to read on. Windows Vista has critical bugs Windows users who had hoped that the Vista operating system will consign Patch Tuesday to the annals of history can think again. Microsoft has confirmed through one of its blogs that two of the seven critical Windows patches released last week also apply to Vista. FULL STORY -> Vista Buggy! _______________________________ Cheers from your intrepid webreporter
March 30, 200718 yr I'm going to use Vista.. But i still think that Windows XP is better... Windows Vista isnt compatable with most software....but it looks cool :cake:
