Windows Vista - Will you be upgrading?

Azriel_Stormbringer
Ugh..Vista lol. The only version worth getting is Ultimate, the others are just mix-ups of the features.
Vista is vastly superior to XP in many ways.

1. Eye Candy: Like everyone says, it is pretty, and so so much prettier than XP.

2. Media: Media Player 11 is amazing and pretty (even tho it comes on XP too)

3. Games: Wow! Look! A built in X-Fire type thing...how cool is that?

4. Security: Vista is alot more secure than XP, and you can also properly rstrict what other users do on your system.

Yes everyone will/may have problems with Vista, but just like with XP nothing will be properly fixed until at least SP2.

I decided not to upgrade to Vista until it had reached at least service pack 1. This was mainly because for previous operating systems like XP, when it finally became stable....

However, for those who want to "try before they buy", and have a broadband internet connection, just search google for:

I will definitely upgrade to Vista in the future. However, the question for me is when. I love gaming, and I need a solid platform to do so. But form what I have heard, Vista is not even par to XP for gaming, and has many driver flaws. But with new games like Crysis and Unreal Tournament 3 coming out I may be forced to move to the shaky platform.

I've had Vista for about 3 months now and I hae had no problems whatsoever with it. I would have stayed with XP but my new PC came with it pre-installed on it. Its a good OS and despite what people say about its flaws its still great.

    Another interesting article I came across today thanks to digg and it would seem that the points are

    Apple user. 1. Easier product versions QUOTE Keep it simple, please Microsoft. Having too many
    different versions of your product is too confusing for the buying public to understand. Should they
    go for the Home, the Professional or the Ultimate version? Vista shipped in six different editions,
    while OS X 10.5 Leopard came in just one (if you forget the server edition). ....

  7. Windows Vista: Disabling Login Screen
    officially not permitted, is there a way around? (5)
    Hi all, I'm sure some of you gave a thought to this, why does Vista always show the login
    screen when booting? In XP there was an option somewhere in control panel to "assume this user
    always login to the computer" or something like that. That way if you used the same user 99% of the
    time and wanted to keep a second user as say an administrator you could do so by setting that
    option. If you ever wanted to switch to the "hidden" user you could do so with Log Off or Switch
    User in Start Menu. Now this is not possible in Vista, the user is given the login screen no ma....

  13. Windows Vista Installation Fails

    Hello. I tried Installing Windows Vista Home Premium today, but when it comes to the part

    more then 40 times, and never loads after that. After like, 10-15 minutes of it being off, I switch
    it back on, and it restores to XP (Witch is good because it wouldn't start up at all). I've
    tried installing this 4 times altogether, and nothing. it keeps restarting continuously more then 40
    times. The only time it restarts is after the BIOS loads, when switching/restar....
  14. How Many Times Do You Reinstall Windows In A Year
    There goes some useful tips about it. (32)
    I reinstall (restore) windows almost every 2-3 months. What about you??? Seeing the title some would
    say "I do it daily" and some others "How to reinstall?". Let's see the poll results. Linuxers,
    see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
    They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
    whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case
    with Linux. Just consider this, I installed Red Hat WS 3(the older version whi....

    reason whatsoever, Windows Explorer will crash and close all the current folders that are open. I
    went onto their User Accounts to see for myself (with permission, of course), and found that
