Ant-Shimmin Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 What Specs are your PC? I done the same thing, and I think PERSONALLY Vista is the much better OS, however I am expecting problems, but have not encountered any yet. Vista Is indeed amazing, but do you want to take the risk? If so, you probably won't regret it
Caris Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 What risks? as longs if you know how to update software and drivers your fine.
Ollie Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 I ve been using Vista Ultimate since RC2 and god do I wish I could go back to XP, but because going back would take so long with backing up data and getting my machine back to how I like it I cba, I just put up with the stuff I hate
KKOB Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 *Clears throat* Get a Mac . . . . . . *ahem* If i was still on a PC, i'd stick with XP for the next 2 years or so. Vista just doesn't do it for me at all.
Letty Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 If your pc can run it well enough, I highly recommend vista. There isnt much driver support yet, but everything else is just so great Im glad I made the change.

UziT Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Been using Vista for a week now, so far so good *fingers crossed* i turned off the Aero thingy because it slowed the framrate for WoW but thats it really =D
McPhee Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 The decision is pretty simple. Check that all you're hardware works with Vista, if it does then get it! Its leagues a head of XP and the only realy problems with it so far are drivers. Im still waiting on Acer making drivers for the on/off button on my WiFi card's antenna though, wish they'd hurry up because the USB dongle is begining to get on my nerves!
Guest Jordan Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Vista is just better over all, its been getting alot of bad press and even i was against it for a while. Now i'd say its even better than XP... Plus i need it for DX10, kinda useless being on XP with my 8800.
The-Ironflame Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 I see no one point unless you get it with a new PC, you want DX 10 support badly (no games yet) and or you can get it pretty cheap.

I suppose thats true, Lost Planet (the first DX10 game) is out on June and theres currently DX10 tech demos on the nvidia site which are... breath taking i have to admit. Vista is just super pretty, super flexable and incredibly organised.

Plus i need it for DX10, kinda useless being on XP with my 8800. Pretty much my thoughts on it too, was anti-Vista a few months back because of the DRM. So far though it seems to have been a lot of fuss about nothing, ive seen none. If it does start to get in the way i wont hesitate to go out and buy XP MCE instead
That Guy Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 I still want to try Vista, because I wasn't a fan of XP, moved to Mac OS X, which I really like, and now It really annoys me using Windows every day at work. I'd like to try it out just to see how much better it is.
Domstercool Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Have both like I have! XP is the best for games at the moment though. Vista likes to fuck up performance on games.
KKOB Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Vista is just super pretty, super flexable and incredibly organised. Super pretty? i can't see it, it just looks like XP 2.0, which i suppose makes sense to M$ and apart from the DX 10 stuff there's no real reason to upgrade that i can see. Especially since upgrading still isn't near as easy as it should be. Couldn't find anywhere else to post this really but . . .

The fact is, Vista has a hell of alot of new technologies under the hood that OSX doesn't have and alot of people don't comment on that. Lets not forget that OSX is a copy of alot of other previous OS anyway so i don't see how Apple Fanboys have the cheek to say stuff like that.

Live previews? is that the video thing in the task bar? Aero glass and dreamscene backgrounds has me lost i'm afraid. Is aero glass the transparency is some parts of the windows?
Cube Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 In my experiance, Vista is roughly 5,000,000% more reliable/stable than XP.

(Serious question, I don't know much about Vista)
KKOB Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 In my experiance, Vista is roughly 5,000,000% more reliable/stable than XP. have you experienced anuything like lets hope that vista remains more stable than XP, maybe they've changed it from a blue screen to a turquoise one? why does vista use the same basis as XP and maybe 98?
Caris Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Come on Takeo, the get a Mac thing is anoying now, even i don't say it.
