Solve : Is Vista any good?? |
|
Answer» I have been waiting to switch from XP to Vista until I heard that it has become a reliable system. I have been hearing from users and CHECKING internet surveys and I still get the impression it is not a very good system. Athlon 64x2 dual core 5600+ 2.91 ghz processor Are you running a 64-bit OS? If not then it's likely you have more RAM then this is showing. I Originally reformatted my laptop and setup a dual-boot between XP and Vista over 4 months AGO... and I can count the number of times I booted XP on ONE hand.Are there 64 bit versions of windows? That is true, I actually have 4 gigs of ram installed but am restricted to 3.5 by the os i guess. I don't have experience using dual operating systems. What is the advantage of this?Yes Vista does have a 64 bit version. It works well and most everyone here will tell you to go for it. Just do a full install and not a upgrade and you will be fine. One last thing....check your hardware for drivers before you to the install. I find it handy to download and than burn them onto the DVD. This way you have them handy for the install. keep XP and wait for windows 7Quote keep XP and wait for windows 7Why?Quote from: Broni on March 10, 2009, 02:36:23 PM Why?Great question. Since : A) 7 hasn't been released yet... B) It will take time to work out it's issues as well as it did Vista and all other major OS releases C) It sounds LIKE more of an opinion than a solution.the guy was looking for an objective opinion I gave him one, and like i said WAIT for windows 7, VISTA has a lot of compatability issues with software aswell as hardware, windows 7 (beta) is been test driven at the minuet and it is the opinion of a lot of beta testers to be a far better os than vista...... I'll stick to my observations and you can have yours...Patio: windows 7 is more like an upgrade then a new operating system. As we all know, Vista is packed with bugs and issues, but windows keeps saying that windows 7 will be more of a gigantic update than an upgrade. So the bugs ~should~ be all worked out. At least this is what I have heard....lambo Just out of curiosity...for how long have you been using Vista?Quote from: lambo on March 11, 2009, 11:56:28 AM VISTA has a lot of compatability issues with software aswell as hardware Hmm... Misunderstanding breeds contempt. Quote from: paudashlake on March 11, 2009, 05:09:09 PM As we all know, Vista is packed with bugs and issues Let's see here... February, 1994: Quote As we all know, Chicago is packed with bugs and issues and later.. Quote As we all know, Memphis is packed with bugs and issues later still... Quote As we all know, Cairo is packed with bugs and issues... and... Quote as we all know, Whistler is packed with bugs and issues Of course... none of these were substantiated at all. They were just the tech web-sites echoing what the people wanted to hear. Honestly the only problem I've had with vista is that it makes me write more robust code. Not a bad thing at all. Additionally those "issues" I have encountered were easily remedied via a tweak of some form... just as with previous windows versions. And of course the company is "Microsoft" not windows. But let's pretend that was a typo |
