Windows Vista: may someone come up with your views please

Well let's put it this way if you don't have 2 gigabytes of RAM don't bother. Vista runs slow on my 1 gig system, it's security thing is a bit of a nuisance until you get used to it, or just shut it off. I'm much more satisfied with my XP system. Add that to Vista's inability to run a good deal of programs makes XP the way to go in my opinion.

The truth is that the Windows Vista is designed for the new sets of computer models with all the latest hardware compatibilities and RAM usage. Vista freezes up in old computers. If you have Windows XP in your current computers which were purchased not few years ago, then just stick to it. I tried using the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor and it showed me that my computer needs sort of overhauling or system upgrade. In other words, Windows Vista won't work with my old computer and system resources. The RAM should have at least 1G to have better performance. The only problem with XP now is its 'soon-to-be' expired by 2009.

well i have few friends who are using vista and they dnt have a happy exp. with that os. it uses a lot of system resources which will not do for me cause i have to run softs like max and maya. then there is the driver problems and then you have a lot of bugs in that ois. i dnt understand why they dnt launch a proper version after a beta version. i would tell people not to go for it. it has only looks and nothing else. XP is far more stable

I have Vista and I will honestly tell you to stick to XP expecially if you want to upgrade(it might become very slow if you don't have enough space). My old computer broke, so I bought another one. I didn't know it came with Vista. I was happy at first because it was such eye candy, but then the problems began: 1. Not a lot of things are capable with Vista yet...at least with the x64 version. 2. There are a lot of pop ups from windows that can get pretty annoying. 3. I don't really see a difference with the firewalls. 4. You can still get malware easily. Even though I'm used to it now I still choose XP any day of the week. Ok it's not that bad, but I think you should wait awhile to get it or buy a computer that comes with it.

I have a friend of mine who is using vista and he is facing a lot of problems. The problems are like his computer works slower than before and also many times i saw his computer getting hanged in the middle of sessions. He told me that its because of the configuration that could not meet the demand of the minimium requirement. He uses pentium D computer with one GB ram and i thought that was a good configuration. The display stuffs are nice in vista but i never saw anything that does extra from XP.

I have windows Vista and I have to reboot my computer several times a day because it just quits responding. I was much happier with Windows XP but since this is a new computer and came with Vista installed, I cannot go back. I wish they would get it fixed.

Well I have a computer tech who is up with that is new and he has advised me to not even think about Vista until the second version comes out, he told me the first versions always have bugs which get fixed up for the second version, so he won't put it on my computer and from I have heard it is very very different and does not accept a lot of programs which you may have on your computer, thay would be no good for me...

Actually, a lot of discussions have been started on Vista and as an XP and Vista user, I must say that XP is way better than Vista. With Vista there certain things that I cannot do on my computer. Things that I would like to do, but cannot. I cannot scan multiple pictures onto my computer like I used to with XP.

My computer pretty much blew up on me two days ago and I've had to get another one, when talking to the guy where I got my new computer from he pretty much told me to stick to XP - particularly if I had a lot of programs that I was going to want to re-install etc as there was a good chance they just wouldn't work on Vista. XP is fine for me - I use my computer a lot and this does all I need it to (and then some)

vista is a crap, this thing use all the ram of the computer

One best thing from Windows Vista is you can control your child see what they were doing in the internet and you can make a schedule About how long your children can stay on the computer.And much more.
