Window XP or Vista ?

Windows 7? Is that a new operating system? I didn't know that, thanks a lot for sharing. By the way, with the new operating system, I guess it is time for me to upgrade my computer soon.

Alright, thanks a lot. I will wait for Windows 7 to release then. But who knows, I might be asking Vista or Windows in the future and you will be telling me this - wait for Windows 8 to release, just a few years more. Ha ha, then I will forever stick to XP till Microsoft has plan to stop developing newer operating system - which is very unlikely. :P

Yup, Win7 will be the new system scheduled to be out in 2010..or around there, after the many delays with regard to Vista.. But anyway, its suppose to eliminate the compability issues we get with Vista as well as all its new benefits, such as better security and stuff. So it'll be something like a marriage between XP and Vista. Also, it'll boast many new touch screen features, so I was just thinking you might wanna wait for a bit before upgrading your com. I believe when its launched, PC manufacturers will build models that will allow us to fully utilize the potential of the touch functions. Moreover, quad core is fast becoming standard(and cheaper) and with all these new functions, more processor power wil be needed. If your com supports Vista, I think it should be able to serve you well until Win7 comes out as you save for the Win7 machines which I believe will cost quite a bit.

ya it would. ya i have a laptop that is vista ready, but the only things is that i have to get more momery to have it work. if thats the only way to use it then i think i'm good giving up memory just for some new features. as long as i can do all the samething that i would normaly do then i think i'll be find. i will eventualy but a new laptop and i'll get vista on it.

Hello Sisco100, Thanks for bringing up the high demand of Hardware's resources Windows Vista need. Yes, it is true that Windows Vista need a higher computer processing power to run smoothly, which to lead to higher computer price for the new hardwares upgrade. If only Vista require less or same processing power from the computer as Windows XP, that will be great.

Hello Hellcowboy, Yeah, I heard a lot of bad things about Vista too. Seems like XP is working fine for you and I am happy for you. Thanks a lot for sharing with me your experience, but Microsoft has announced that it will stop producing XP as Vista will be replacing it. Just hope Vista will be more stable in the near future.

Hello Joyadalia, Vista is cheap? I suppose that is only in your country or in your area. Vista retail price in my area is like daylight-robbery. Well, I will might consider to get one if the retail price takes a hit - like iPhone, where the price has been reduced drastically.

Hello Himaachander, Alright, I will check out the weblog you mentioned, but how reliable it is ? Like the website address suggest, it seems to be a blog by someone who loves Windows and the stuffs mentioned there could be biased.

Hello Ceciliaad, Wow, that must be a very terrible experience for your Granddad. Hmm...from what you said, it seems like drivers for Vista are not very stable yet - or there aren't any drivers for Vista yet if the software developer is slow. Well, I will keep it in mind to check for the programs compatibility before I make the decision. Thanks a lot.

Hello Dear Pck3000, Oh I see, looks like you must have a really bad time using Windows Vista. Glad that you are back to where you being with.

Hello Shamrack, Automatic features? What are those automatic features? Care to share? I am no idea about those features. But isn't having too many automatic features a bad thing? As there will be a huge demand on the computer resource. I will prefer a faster computer than a slow but safe computer. Thanks for sharing.

Vista two ? Is there news from Microsoft that second edition of Vista is coming out? Just like windows 98 and windows 98 Second Edition? If it is true, it is going to be cool. I am wondering what are the new features featured in the second edition. Anyway, thanks for letting me know that Vista runs a lot slower than XP, I will definitely keep that in mind.

Hello Barb42, Yeah, what you mentioned makes sense. It is definitely make no sense to spend extra money to get the different programs needed to make them run on Vista - especially with the inflation and rising cost of living. We should aim to be as thrive as impossible and avoid spending money on unimportant stuff like the operating system of the computer. As long as it can satisfy our needs.

Hello Fdg1937, Thanks for letting us know that it got too many glitches, maybe it is because of the high demand of computer processing power. Looks like not all good things are definitely better - old things rule sometime!

Hello Ari8388, thanks for sharing, but what it is about Vista that makes it stand out from XP ? I heard horrible tales about Vista, so now I am still having doubt about making the switch. Sometimes, what is new might not always be the best.

Hello Anchopy, What kinds of error you get and do you experience this yourself or you heard from other people? Oh well, I guess Microsoft should have thoroughly check through the new operating system before releasing it to the market. It will save both parties a lot of hassle.

Hello Anchopy, That is a fast response from you, thanks for elaborating it.

It's my opinion, what I've experimented, what I've heard and what Internet says.. The biggest problem Is the lack of proper drivers, the lack of third party security solutions like firewall or antivirus, there is application compatibility issues and the general usability..

Hello EfrenHinojosa, It seems like too much of a security is a big turn off as well, but having too little security features will be a bigger turn off when the computers start to behave erratic. Well, I think Microsoft have to strike a balance between these two to provide users like us a better experience when using the computer.

Hello Jaypeemauel, Yes, I will have to agree that Windows Vista is rather unstable - based from the various posts from mylot community. We definitely have to consider our computer specifications before upgrading - we don't want it to have a 2 minutes boot-up time.

Hello Muxicka, Yes, I am a DOTA (Defense Of The Ancient) player here, I definitely need all the raw power I can get from the computer to get a flawless gaming experience. I will definitely make sure that the new operating system I am switching to will not ruin my gaming experience. Thanks.

Hello Thayes1106, Alright, thanks for sharing. Seems like you had a bad experience with Windows Vista before. I think all new operating system is hard to use, and lack of support temporarily - since it is a 'new' product. We will have to wait till it becomes 'popular' before making the jump.

Hello Clarizz, Finally! There is someone who admitted to chasing technology other than me (I thought I am the only one here who do that). Maybe I will try the trial version of Vista if there is one available for me download.

Hello Thehawkbat, Yes, I too find familiar products more user-friendly - because it is familiar! Looks like only your experience differ from the rest of the mylotters who replied to this discussion, interesting. I think it all boils down to the user - maybe it is the user fault rather than the instability of the program, since we are not familiar to it, yet.

Hello f14_0105, Looks like different operating system from Microsoft suit different needs from different group of people. Maybe they should have Windows Vista Programmer Edition and Windows Vista Graphic Animator Edition, I think it will be great.
