you can save yourself a bob or to and get xp, maybe in a year or two miss vista out and get windows se7en
You advise to miss out Windows Vista because it essentially has nothing over Windows XP but then say you should move to Windows 7 when it comes out? I'm sorry but something's not quite right there. For all intents and purposes, Windows 7 is basically Windows Vista with a few tweaks here and there and what seems to be slightly better optimized for lower specification machines.
i know you can change things in vista like the daft UAC and what not, for me xp is install ready, you dont need to faff about changing niggly bits, in vista it may take you some time before you are happy with it.
Please stop spreading misinformation just to try and make Windows Vista look worse than it actually is. User Account Control is far from a daft idea and quite honestly, those that think it's useless and what not clearly have no understanding of it or certainly don't have a proper understanding of UAC.
I'm sorry but to simply type in "Is Vista better than XP" into Google and see what comes up and then judging Windows Vista based on the results is a pretty daft idea. For a start, it's completely unreliable since quite a few of those links are going to go to posts saying that Windows Vista is incompatible with a lot of hardware and software because those posts were written near the time of Windows Vista's release. At this stage in Windows Vista's life though, compatibility is not an issue or certainly not to the extent that it's your number one reason for not moving to Windows Vista.
Secondly, Windows releases always have their fair share of issues to deal with. Unfortunately though, these issues seem to get completely blown out proportion. For example, games running slower on the newly released operating system compared to the previous one. Whilst this was the case when Windows Vista was first released, the performance between Windows Vista and Windows XP is now minimal at best and yet people still use this as an excuse as to why you shouldn't move to Windows Vista.
Thirdly, you then get the complete FUD that some people post like "Why does Vista use all my memory, it doesn't in XP", "I'm an enthusiast, I know what I'm doing, I don't need this useless UAC thingy" (And then those same people advise their friends to turn it of and then their friends and so on and all whilst brainwashing them and everyone around them that UAC is nothing but useless) and things like "Vista is the new ME II".
When people that are new to Windows Vista use your pretty poor advice by just simply typing "Is Vista better than XP" into Google, their also going to be completely misinformed and going to be completely put of by purchasing it. Quite a lot of the reasons why people dislike Windows Vista, like what has just been mentioned above, are pretty mute, which in the majority of cases is down to the individual not being properly informed. I'm not saying that Windows Vista is the perfect operating system, of course it's not but it's certainly not as bad as some people like to portay it.
yeah ive tested vista ultimate 32-bit and i honestly feel its a step back, behind the gui and a few things, you wil soon miss xp.
If you have the money buy vista, try it, and be mildly dissapointed, buy XP and be happy you did. Im just another of a million people saying dont buy vista because it looks good, because its performance is sub-par
Once again, you are assuming that yabadabadoo isn't going to be happy with it. I bought Window Vista and was more than happy with the operating system and the same goes for a large number of people out there too. So, why is it indefinite that yabadabadoo will be unhappy with Windows Vista?
