That Guy Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Here's quite a good article about vista and Macs.Link... Balanced and not fanboyish. I thought it was interesting anyway.

Ant-Shimmin Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Yet Another Microsoft related thread, ruined by Mac lovers... If he wanted a mac, he would of got a mac... We know you like Macs, get over it and mastuabuate about them in some other Mac Thread.. Unless you can see the title of the thread, this has nothing to do with Macs... Bah
Ollie Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 why does vista use the same basis as XP and maybe 98? Windows XP was built on NT technology (as used in Windows Server 2000 I believe), completely different from Windows 98. As far as I know Vista is new again, but I could be wrong, I'm sure someone here will know.

That Guy Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 wow, really enjoyed that!i had touble accessing the link though and had to type it out so here it is again MOO LMAO that's cus I fucked up the link and was in too much of a rush to stick the football on to check what I'd just posted Yet Another Microsoft related thread, ruined by Mac lovers... If he wanted a mac, he would of got a mac... We know you like Macs, get over it and mastuabuate about them in some other Mac Thread.. Unless you can see the title of the thread, this has nothing to do with Macs... Bah Mac fans? The only person that has posted anything like that is someone who's only had a Mac for 3 days, and I've not posted anything fanboyish so I don't kno what you're talking about. I know Mac owners tend to act a little high and mighty, but I don't see what's wrong in giving a balanced opinion about 2 OS's
Guest Stefkov Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 I have Vista on the way, I was reading an article somewhere on how to upgrade my vista to it. Will it take ages to do? I got quite a lot of thing on it. Nothing would be deleted? I sound so noobish.
Cube Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Now....is it worth £20 extra to get Vista Business over Home Premium? What else do you get with it?
Guest Jordan Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 For people who want to know. Vista is built off the same kernel as Server 2003, the most secure and stable version of Windows ever built.
KKOB Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 For people who want to know.Vista is built off the same kernel as Server 2003, the most secure and stable version of Windows ever built. well thank god for that. I suppose, if the drivers for your stuff are compatible with Vista, and the programes you want are as well, then there's no real reason not to upgrade. its prettier than XP and might make you enjoy using the PC more. now its just which of the different 'flavours' you want to go for. if you need to do a fresh install of vista in the future and only have an upgrade version, do you install XP then the upgrade?

You can trick the upgrade version into just working as a full install by not putting in a serial code on install and then just entering it once windows is installed. Nice little trick. Oh and you basically either want Home Premium or Ultimate.
Cube Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Oh and you basically either want Home Premium or Ultimate. So, shall I not bother with Business, and just get Home Premium?
Guest Jordan Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 So, shall I not bother with Business, and just get Home Premium? Business really isn't suited for Home use... hense the names. It lacks stuff liked Media Centre and Aero Glass.

Slaggis Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Saw your advide, thanks to everyone (STOP SAYING GET A MAC!!), I've ordered windows vista home premium :-) We shall see how it goes

Shift Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I would just like to say at this point that i have been running vista for quite awhile and i have had no problem with OS, the Nvidia drivers are another story, but those have been fixed now, so all is well :]
McPhee Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Acer released drivers for my laptop! Happy times! No more USB WiFi dongle! Im now completely satisfied with Vista, all my drivers work and therefore i see no downsides to XP
Bogbas Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39087 I wouldn't call it win me II though... Funnily though the one reason I would get vista is also one of the reasons why I won't be getting it anytime soon (if ever).
Caris Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I hate all the trash being said about Vista, it's just not true. They treat vista like the video games industry treats Sony, they watch there every move. Lame.
KKOB Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I hate all the trash being said about Vista' date=' it's just not true. They treat vista like the video games industry treats Sony, they watch there every move. Lame.[/quote'] its because it's the market leader. if nintendo or apple were the market leader they'd be used just as much for target practice. thats just life. and to be fair, they both deserve a bit of trash talking.
Shino Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39087I wouldn't call it win me II though... Funnily though the one reason I would get vista is also one of the reasons why I won't be getting it anytime soon (if ever). Me II?! FFS people don't know what they're talking about should just shut up. The reason why there's less driver support its because the OS is actually different this time, and people complaining is because they're to lazy to learn how to use a slightly different OS. I certainly wouldn't call 20+ million a failure. Not that I care, I just think everything has a middle ground.

I certainly wouldn't call 20+ million a failure. but it has sold less than XP did when it launched i think, so can be seen as being a failure as such =S might be wrong . . . the SDF and M$DF both scare me . . .
Caris Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 To be hoenst i dont care if it made £100, it's Microsoft so money doesnt really matter.
