First off memory I found your post to be very defensive. Perhaps if you re-read what I wrote you may wish to change your opinion.
no its not...some games are but not all.
Some games are faster on Vista, some are slower. Swings and roundabouts. Exactly how many FPS are we talking about?
common sense would tell u that uve installed something dodgy if all of a sudden your xp installation has gone from being faster than vista to slower just by 3 apps.
Why are you deliberately trying to misquote me? I never stated it 'suddenly' went slower or that it happens after 3 apps. Maybe you should read what I wrote.
how hard should someone have to look ? if there are things there then why not just point them out rather than trying to sound clever about it ?
im not saying vista doesnt have anything more ...im simply stating i havent found it so maybe im missing out and someone can fill in the details.
I guess that depends how superficial you want to be or just how much you are prepared to explorer the depths. Things don't always jump out at you in life.
There is plenty of literature on the Internet about the additional features of Vista and the benefits it provides over XP. Now, you can either google for them as there is quite a lot of literature on it and I am not really prepared to spend too much time trying to educate you as you don't seem a rather willing learner. Or, if you use Vista on a day to day basis then over time you will find them out for yourself. If you are prepared to do this then you will be well aware of what Vista offers over XP.
How long have you actually used Vista for?
but i dont dual boot between vista and a launch version of xp.
its vista with sp1 and xp with sp2.
It doesn't change the facts that Vista is a lot more secure on launch than XP was. I don't understand why you feel the need to say this. I never expected anyone to be booting into the launch version of XP in 2008.
constantly ? no just once would be enough to bring up the promt
Ok, let me ask that question again;
what are you doing so often that brings up the prompt?
you could probably name a few linux ones too but they are neither here or there....im talking present apps which are used with windows.
The point I was making was that when people moved to XP there was Windows 98 applications that didn't work with XP. Likewise with Vista.
Out of curiosity, what applications are you talking about and maybe your defination of 'current apps'. I have quite an extensive suite of applications that are running fine on Vista.
I know that Cubase SX3 doesn't work properly in Vista. But then, that has been superceded by Cubase SX4. In fact, cubase SX3 not working in Vista is one of the reasons why I am still using XP.
I am quite sure that they could make SX3 100% compatible with Vista, however that is not really an issue for Microsoft.
you could have made that list since you typed so much anyway....would have been a lot nicer and more helpful but i guess thats not you.
!!!
To be honest, I could type lists out all day but you would be far better off with actual hands on experience. Trying looking past the 'pretty' interface. Most of the benefits with Vista become apparent over time. Something that no amount of list reading is going to offer you.
none of my friends use vista...a few have tried it but same as me they found it offers little more than a pretty interface.
And with that comment I can only bid you good luck.
