I have a quad opteron with 4gb ram and 500mb video and around 1tb of disk space, trust me I know Windows like the back of my hand and I see Vista as the equivalent of Windows ME which was a piece of crap that they used to make money with before releasing XP. Was ME better than 98? No it was not, but it was newer. I am sure Windows 7 will be much better than Vista but Vista was no way near better than XP. In fact Vista was a very shitty copy of OS X that did not work.

There is a world of difference between having to tweak your machine to the level of insanity in order to remotely have a stable system and to just whip out your Macbook from its box and voila, its working like a clock, a super fast clock as well.


i'm using vista 64 with an i7 proc, 6gb ram and more than 2 tb hd. i never encoutered an issue while i used to had more in xp. what exactly is your issue with vista?

actually 7 have a lot of things in common but they are more lite

For me, the issue is that you shouldn't need an i7 and 6Gbytes RAM to run software that used to run perfectly well on a 800MHz P3! :lol:


lol try running some of the software i use and even the 920 is low

I don't begrudge needing supercomputing power to run certain software! :lol:

But needing a supercomputer to load an operating system that used to run on steam power is taking the piss! :evil:

I'm sure Micro$oft add a few thousand NOPs in every 'update' they force you to download... :x

Let's disregard all the crap. Vista is the biggest load of shite MS have produced!!!! Well 98 and Millennium edition were pretty awful as well!

Bought a 18"4 SONY VAIO 2 days ago... couldn't keep vista... what a shite system that is. Just installed Windows 7 and it will expire next year... since i am formatting once a year anyway i decided to keep this one for production purposes.

That is a good price actually... I may try it... :wink:


Okay... I tried it...

I bought a Storage Solutions Corsair 32Gbyte SSD.

Upgraded my RAM to 4Gbytes with two Corsair 2Gbyte modules.

Bought a Domino ALC Water Cooler.

Re-installed everything and cloned the hard drive.

The system is awesomely fast (running XP Pro) and with the water cooler and no hard drive much quieter too.

Recommended!

I had Windows XP installed on my PC for 5 years. I truly hated Vista. I now have Windows 7 ultimate and it runs smoothly, quickly, and efficiently. One word: B-dass!! No going back to XP. Microsoft didn't make a mistake with its new flagship OS this time. Upgrade or be left in the dust. Windows XP?! Move the f-ck over!!

So, Windows 7 is a modified XP with a very huge price of 85 Euros. :lol:

That's how this capitalist world turns around. :lol:
