windows vista

I am not really all that great with computers but I think that people are having more problems with vista if they were to upgrade to it from an older computer. If you have a new one with vista I think that everything should be ok. haha don't quote me on any of it though.

I think Windows Vista is definately unique. It takes a while to adjust if you are migrating from Windows XP. Overall I think it is an effective, eye-candy operating system. It just takes a hell of a lot of horse-power to run. I'd say try it yourself. If you don't like it, go back to XP :) Vista will most likely be the most reliable when its at SP (service pack) 3. It is currently in stage SP 1.

I am dreading the day I have to change to Vista but only because I am not one for change, I have heard a lot of thing s also mainly that vista won't accept a lot of older programs and I love a lot of my older programs...my techy who is very much into all computer stuff as well as windows, he told me the date which I can't remember has been set for the finish of updates and patches and such to be sent out by Windows for XP which will mean that is the time one should move over to vista other than that I think it is just a case of getting used to it...

i use both vista and xp. I have 2 laptopss.. and currently I am using the xp.. so go figure... vista has too many problems and unfigured issues and require alot of updates and runs really slow and not all the software you buy can work with it... My printer and webcam cannot work on my vitsa lappy but works perfectky wuth the xp one.. I had to add more memory to my vista lappy.. spend more money already where as if it was runnin on xp it would have worked perfectly fine.. xp requires less ram to run on so thats a plus also.. vista does have a mroe appealing graphic.. but thats nothign cause u want mroe functionality.. its actually nerve wrecking..

I have Vista on my laptop and XP on my desktop. I've noticed that Vista is easier for me to work on with school and I like the look of it better than XP. Vista also comes with a lot of programs and protection that XP doesn't have. Vista hasn't given me any problems so far and I have had it for at least six months now. Good luck!

Well many would suggest that you use XP because it has been here for quite some time. And although Vista has been beta tested, there would likely be some bugs to come out. I have been using Vista for 3 months and I have no problems with the system at all. Most likely the problem you will have is getting the drivers for some of your devices. Because Vista is new, some manufacturers have not issued drivers for their products for Vista. I have read that the main difference is the security which has been tightened in Vista. If you are an ordinary user like me. The only difference you would easily notice is that the Vista interface which much better than XP. Support for XP will soon be over and development for programs will cease as well. If I were you I would go Vista.

I have windows xp on my desktop and vista on my laptop, personally I can't tell the difference, I haven't had any issues with vista, and there are a few features I like on it better than my desktop, of course my laptop is newer and has a better processor than my other computer. I have seen where a lot of people complained about having problems with vista, but I haven't had any so far.

I've had it on my new PC for about 6 months. I dont notice to much of a differance but maybe just cause I am used to it. I wouldnt change back I know that for sure. Just give it some time to get used to. You may find you like it better:)

Hi Littleowl, I don't really know too much about the difference between the two but any new lap will come with the Vista as it is the latest version of Windows. I still have XP on my main computer but daughters laptops are both Vista and they haven't had any problems with it even though I have heard the same as you re problems with it. Hope someone can explain. Ellie :D

I also heard that windows vista is not up to the mark and XP is far better than Vista. I don't have any primary information about Vista that nobody I knew is using that. I have loaded my computer with XP and it is working perfectly well.

We have 2 laptops, one with XP and one with Vista. We don't have any problem what so ever since the first day we bought it. Unless, you are a game addict or using too many old software, vista is fine. Who complaint the most about vista? Corporate and geek. They are the most demanding market. Corporates hate to upgrade their software because of the cost. Geeks hate to upgrade because they use so many softwares. To them, compatibility is number one. For other consumer, vista is just another OS. So, enjoy and don't worry.

Hi, I also have Windows Vista on my laptop. Before I bought my laptop I've heard different opinions about Vista, most of them were on the negative side. But of these disadvantages I've noticed few once I was using Vista myself. All considered, I'm happy about the program. I don't understand why people are slandering Windows Vista as I have no complaints at all. Now I have used both Vista and Xp I even can say I'd rather work with the Vista program. I don't know really why but in my eyes Vista is more fluent and easier to work with. So my opinion.. Greetz.

There are many differences between Windows Vista and Windows Xp. Though Windows Xp is proved better than Windows Vista, later the Vista is proven much efficient than XP. Vista provides many new tools and features which are not present in XP. These tools help very much in maintaining good performance of your system. The Vista also provides with tweak tools and Theme managers that also add good look to your desktop.

Hi littleowl I would not know anything about windows you clever little thing, as you know I have only just started playing about with my LapTop I won't be able to help. But keep haveing fun trying to figure it out. All my love. Bright Blessings. Tamarefireheart.

I have heard alot of bad things about vista also. I have always used Windows XP. I have never even tried Vista. they may have all of the bugs worked out of it by now though. You may not have any problems at all. I think most of the problems, were when they first came out with it. They have had plenty of time to fix it. It looks like they would not sell it any longer if they were still having major problems with it. I still think that XP is the best though.

I also have heard all the bad feedback about Vista. I have had nothing but good luck with it. In fact, my laptop was acting pretty flaky using XP. I upgraded to Vista a few months ago and I have had absolutely no problems with it. It did take some getting used to but now I like using it more than I do XP.

well i have 2 pc with different OS (Vista n XP) n there's big different between them.So far my XP is more reliable than my vista,but vista have feature that XP cant have it.yeah..i heard bad opinions bout vista but after all i think its true vista have better security than XP n if u r newbie in computer vista r more easier to use.
