What do you think about Vista now?

[majinbuu]

Vista is a WASTE OF MONEY! I have a nice Computer with 1GB Ram, AMD ATHLON X2 DUAL CORE, ATI RADEON 9600 PRO 256MB, 300GB HD, but os is CRAP!

It slows down your comuter, and it has just as much as security flaws as XP. If you've heard the news, Vista has a repetitive crash exploit that can be accessed when you download a cursor!!!!!!

I reckon Win 2000 is better than all of them!!!

Vista is a WASTE OF MONEY

I agree 5000% I don't see the point of upgrading to a new os that has just come out and crashes 100 times a month and can't download/install most programs.
What is up with the 3d page view. That is what the task bar is for. Using the 3d view to switch pages is 5 times slower than clicking the button on the task bar.

I reckon Win 2000 is better than all of them!!!

I actually cant rember my experiences with windows 2000 and 98, after all i am 14.
I am used to Windows XP and it suits all my needs. Fast and efficient.

I can see that I have a different opinion, but I still like Vista more than XP
As I recall, Windows 2000 has its own list of security problems.

Vista hasn't given me really any bad crashing problems. Your computer doesent completely freeze up during  a crash, like 2000, ME, 98, and 95.

I have used many operating systems, and by far, Vista is my favorite.

People thought that Windows XP, 2000, 98, 95, NT, 3.11, 3.1, 3.0, and 2.0 were a waste of money.
The future is here. Keep it if you will, but just remember: Soon, everything you see in stores will be compatible with Vista, not XP.

Think about it this way:
People thought about ever operating system except Windows 1.0 the same way as people think of Vista.
(Though, I used to be against XP... then I started using it, and I loved it. For some reason, I had nothing against Vista, and I think its just great!)

Wrong Wrong...and Wrong again.

I don't know where you got that info from but anyone out there that knows their stuff will tell you that Win2K is not only the safest but also the most stable OS to come out of MS labs this decade...

What are the security problems with Windows XP?

What are the security problems with Windows XP?

Do you want a list or would you prefer the novel ? ?

Vista is a new GUI and TCP/IP. The new GUI is a RAM *censored*, and the TC/IP causes many problems with gaming. The only good thing, which all in its own is lame, is DX10. Because windows is not going to allow DX10 on XP the only reason to get Vista right now is if your an avid gamer and you want to play DX10 games. They are forcing people to get vista for DX10 by not allowing support for it on XP. LAME!

[Zylstra]

And?
Time advances. Many programs that came out for older operating systems were not avalible for XP.

Windows 2000 has the same base as XP and Vista, it is just as secure.
"But Microsoft is always rushing those new 'security patches' all the time!" So what. Thats what makes it secure. Thats what made 2000 secure. Thats what made XP secure. And thats what is making Vista secure right now.

Look, the chances of a hacker using even 1/4th of the security exploits in any Microsoft OS (2000 and above) is low. They dont get to know the exploits fast enough, because the updates come out.

But like I said before, I do believe that many people have their own opinions.
But as well as before, many people thought the same way about XP as they think about Vista now. And many people will think the same way about the next Microsoft Operating System that comes out, and oh yes, they will continue.

Better kernel means better computer, and faster processing, even if it leaves some applications out.

Some things work better in Vista and some things work worse. (Same as XP. I have different software types that dont work in XP. Especially 3D rendering software.)

What??? And how does this apply to Vista?

Some things work better in Vista and some things work worse.

And some things don't work at all. Outside of DX10 games, what works better? And how do you judge that?

[Zylstra]

*I give up*

I like it, and I think its great.

But I just cant emphasize more, this is the same thing that people said about XP five years ago or however long ago it was.

That's fair enough. Opinions are OK, but are different than fact.

But I just cant emphasize more, this is the same thing that people said about XP five years ago or however long ago it was.

Some of us still do.

LOL! Very true (like my cousin, he doesent like XP, I happen to like its driver support and application handling, so I just say to him: "Would you rather have a Mac?")

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

I don't like mac.......
The reason is too complicating. I guess i was brought up that way.
