I prefer Mac OS X, but on secondary computer (PC) I have Windows Vista. JAPEBARTO5 Posted at 11:40 am on Oct. 9, 2008 Windows Vista is worse than Linux!!! OMG !!!! Byble Posted at 9:08 am on Sep. 22, 2008 Well i've recently got Vista and it seems ok so far.. except that it does take quiet a long time to start up and hibernate compared to XP.. but hey i do like how vista looks doe :) mysticgohan Posted at 3:22 am on Sep. 22, 2008 Depends on how much ram you have. If you're trying to run it on 512MB or 1 gig you'll have problems 2 gigs will run it well, 3 and 4 smooth as better. climber783 Posted at 1:14 pm on Sep. 10, 2008 Vista's great if you have a high-end computer that can handle it's extensive download size, extensive resource use, and all that. But on my bottom to mid range laptop, it was a nightmare.  Slow as hell, crashed constantly, countless useless programs that were tricky to remove completely...it just wasn't worth it.  Quickly gave up on Vista, put on Linux Mint, and was perfectly happy with it.  And soon after made it a dual boot with Windows XP on it, and it is a perfect laptop. Thunder Bolt Posted at 7:17 pm on Sep. 5, 2008 I hate Vista. That's just my opinion. :(. I have a Macbook, and there's just no issues with it. My parents did buy one of those "Dell Super Duper Discount" computers for themselves, but I think if they're selling a computer that has it installed, it should be able to handle it well. It was a dual core processor. It crashed so many times, we finally bought a copy of Windows XP and downgraded the computer, which is just sad. Zlog Posted at 3:19 am on Aug. 23, 2008 Quote: from Whitelighter at 11:39 am on July 22, 2008 Yep. Worse. Just as others said, its slower than XP when its operating on an average computer and can't handle anything efficiently. My brand new Dell came with Vista and it operated poorly even when nothing was on it. My programs and software kept closing on their own. I don't use that PC anymore. I use my MacBook. Your mistake was buying one of Dell Super Duper Discount computers. Do some research next time. Zlog Posted at 3:17 am on Aug. 23, 2008 wow nothing but fucking idiots in this thread. If your computer doesn't meet the reccomended requirements, then you shouldn't intall vista on it. If you HAVE the reccomended requirements, Vista is amazing. Vista will actually play games better then XP if you have a decent system. Vista manages resources MUCH better then XP if you have the reccomended amount. Threads full of people making comments about vista that dont know what they're talking about make me RAAAGEEE Whitelighter Posted at 11:39 am on July 22, 2008 Yep. Worse.

Dude, the fact that you say that, and support oboma, shows that you need to be summarily liquidated. The fact that you say that shows how much of a fascist you are. pleaseremove Posted at 6:01 pm on July 19, 2008 As per usual i read all of these "Vista is crap, stick with XP" posts and I'm wondering if I'm using the same version as you lot. I have no issues with Vista. It is stable, fast to use, has many many more features including a nice little set of apps that comes with it, the interface is considerably better, its quicker, cleaner, prettier and has so many more features and parts you can customize. In short, no, Vista is not worse, as long as you don't go for the basic versions. Go for a PC that comes with it installed and you will be fine. Don't upgrade as thats a bad plan. lunchbox Posted at 3:24 pm on July 19, 2008 Quote: from motorhead at 9:58 am on July 19, 2008 It's a system hog and generally doesn't handle anything efficiently.
