Do you still prefer Windows XP over VIsta

I am running Windows XP Pro on my laptop and we have XP on our desktops, also. I am working on a friend's new computer that has Vista. I like the look of Vista. But, it is much harder to get used to than XP was. One thing that bothers me is the fact that most of the programs you run on XP won't work on Vista. All games have to be Vista compatible, so they've had to buy all new games. Right now, I will stick to XP. Perhaps when all the bugs are worked out in Vista, we might upgrade.But then, there will be a new release out and we can start all over again.

I think XP is far better than vista. Not only is it faster in every way possible, Vista has the crappiest design ever, not to mention it tries way to hard to be secure, but in the end its just as insecure as any other windows version.

Ive had nothing but trouble with Vista since it came loaded on my new Dell Lappie in Nov. Tons of BSOD's. Its gotten better since the last set of Hotfixes in the last update. Vista does not like 3rd party products.

hi, I always go for VISTA when computer config is good enough. I see here couple of guys blaming VISTA for the software compatibility. I don't know why??? It's new OS and and it's obvious the old softwares won't run with it. But, people forget new all softwares are VISTA compatible. And specially games. Can any one tell me a name of new released game which does not run on VISTA. Does XP support DX 10? I remember a game "HITMAN" first of its series never runs on XP. Because its windows 98 compatible( I don't know whether EDIOS changes its compatibility ). It does not mean '98 is better than XP so the XP is better than VISTA.. VISTA has lot of new features that XP can't provide. I've never ever seen VISTA to crash( my computer ). VISTA ultimate is obviously better than XP pro.

XP is better than vista, xp can do all of things, and can run lots of software, it's low to computer config. Vista is slow and cockamamie, i don't like vista

hears vistas issues: it has compatabilty issues solution run compatabilty for xp sp2 its securety is over protective solution run UAC in quietmode Some issues can simply be solved by makeing a vertual XP I like it for the most part I customise my Vista I use firefox thunderbird pidion (mostly non microsoft stuff) it works with out big issues (most problems i get for the web are from IE7 & IE8

I prefer Vista. People make it look like Vista is a step backward, crashes more, is slower and looks worse; in fact it's the opposite. Vista crashes less, people just don't realise it after two days of using Vista as they take the smooth operation for granted.

The only thing that hold me from using Vista is my hardware. Once my PC is up to it I will surely use Vista. I always have this habit of ensuring I have a fall back OS, like now I'm using XP but I still have win2000 in one of its boot. If I would have a problem with my current OS I could still access my PC to recover my data and restore it. I've tried Vista actually but I just uninstall it because at that time I need the disk space. One of this day I will reinstall it again to be prepare for my next system upgrade, know the common problems and software adaptation.

Yeah i still prefer XP over Vista I gues XP is like quite better in lots of terms Vista does have some beter features for sure but then..Even the probs are numerous

Vista has got like somewat better graphics than xp But then its got many bugs as welll So basically i prefefr usin XP over Vista

no I prefer Vista over XP it has so many more programs than XP

well if you asking which operating system i like very much then its Vista. But if you ask me which operating sytem i will install on my system. Then answer will depend on my systems configuration. If i have to install a operating system on my desktop pc whose configuration is Pentium III Processor 366 MHz Processor Speed 256 Mb Ram 40 Gb hard disk Then definitely i will install Windows Xp rather than Vista. Although it is not even possible to install windows vista on system whose ram is less 300 mb. But if i have system with this configuration Core 2 Due Processor 1.60 GHz Processor Speed 1 Gb Ram 80 Gb hard disk Then definitely i will install Windows Vista. No question about that.
