Vista

[Grandiagod]

I just got it on my new laptop.

It's an Acer AMD Turion 2.0 GHz processor, 15.4in scren 256MB ATI Radion integrated graphics, 80GB HDD, 1GB of RAM (I'm adding another 512 to bring it to 1.5)

Vista looks cool.

Not much better than XP other than that though.

Re: Vista

I'll be installing this whenever I get a lot of free time, and remember to do it. I'm pretty sure that I'm getting it for free through my college.

Toms hardware vista review.
Btw Vista doesn't support open gl. Huge gap between xp and vista here. in XP's favor.
And xp beats vista in everything else as well.

I managed to get a free copy from Microsoft, through some special program they had.
Pays to have friends there.

Installed Vista on a school computer that is at least 8 years old by now.

It was pretty awesome. =]

I watched about it last night on The Daily Show when he had Bill Gates talking about it, looked cool.

Same here. Free to download the Business version through my school.

I might download it and just hold off on installing it or do a dual boot. We'll see.

Re: Vista

What's so great about Vista? Who wants their OS to be graphics intensive? Who wants their Windows to look like it has Mac influences?

I am perfectly content with XP and I seriously doubt I will make a switch any time soon, and I don't see why anyone would. If you want a fancy looking OS, you can get a skin for XP, or many of the fancy things of Vista are already used in OSX.

Re: Vista

My laptop broke, and I just decided to hell with it.

Instead of paying for a new screen, just get a new comp.

Vista is okay.

Good thing all I use is freeware.

And I just figured out how to turn off Vista's tracking.
