I will let you borrow my system for a week

please don't waste your time.
I work in Photography. I am handling gigs of data every day. The worst aspect of vista is handling these files and esp moving them.
Your system isn't going to make me smile.

no , what makes you wrong is Fact. you can have a million friends all agreeing with you, the facts dont change.

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 13 Jan 2009 at 00:39

So whats the fact then ?

I am glad it works so well on your computers. I really am pleased for you all. It is the worst OS I have used from them.
I don't give a flying """" how many people have bought it. It looks nicer than xp but XP has it completely beat on stability and performance. That is a fact I have proven to myself and many friends of mine agree.

Lol, the media who have performed fair benchmarks would agree otherwise I'm afraid.

Maybe I have a different version of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate then?

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 13 Jan 2009 at 00:43

So the media, millions of sales and your facts mean that my opionion and feelings towards Vista are wrong?

the fact is your wrong, thats the fact.

oh and some silly comments your spouting, like "vista is a complete flop" and "XP has it completely beat on stability and performance" which also go against what the facts are.

facts exists in reality.

silly untruths exists in your head.

here we have a clear distinction

Hi Fstop11, I would beg to differ. I personally think the overall performance of Windows Vista is quite a lot better than Windows XP and quite a few of my friends also think this.

What sort of problems have you had with Windows Vista?

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 13 Jan 2009 at 00:46

Ok so the fact that I can use my applications quicker in much better response in Xp over Vista is just a bizzare phenomenal is it?
Jesus any reason to argue on this place.

Why don't your facts explain to me why my Wonderful 10 star OS isn't working better than the one its replaced then?

Instead of ripping into my opionion. Why not try and use that talent to come up with a solution?

While we disagree, Fire Wizard is the only one actually listening to what I am saying!

then why don't you answer his question and explain to all of us in detail your problems with vista, all your doing is coming up with untruths about how bad vista is as a product, rather than how bad your experience is with it.

Yes, now go back down to the pub with your mates to rant about how you feel XP is still faster even though facts and figures argue otherwise.

Sorry but I always fall down and rely on hard facts.

The only way there could be any speed/stability difference with XP imo is with better more mature drivers or better compatibility with yours and your friends systems, nothing to do with the OS it self.

you ever thought your system might not be 100% compatible with vista and your system prefers xp,, If you took 10 pcs, at the same specs using diff brand of hardware, they will all run vista differently due to compatibility.

I have already explained that I suffer from sluggish performance in comparision to Xp when working with very large files.
I'm not here to ask for help because the OS isn't suited to my needs. I came on here to give my impressions of windows 7. I dont like it, it looks too much like Vista. End of.

Kristoph · 13 Jan 2009 at 00:54

Would this really be worth me switching to? What would you say are it's most attractive features?

Current spec:

2.4Ghz Dual Core T8300
4GB Ram
Windows Vista Ultimate

what you came on here to do and what you actually did seem to be different.

what you actually did was tell us something untrue about vista.

did you not expect to be corrected?

That's fine but remember this is a discussion forum we discuss facts and opinions, please don't take umbrage to someone when they don't agree with your opinion. It doesn't change it

Conversely those who think that Vista is the dogs danglies should not say that their opinion is fact. Personally I cannot stand Vista even though I spent £100+ on two OEM copies and spent 6 months using it as my main OS. I had better user experience with Win Me! Also for those who think new= better just think prime ministers.

As for the topic of Win 7 I am really really hopeing that this will be equivalent to the improvement that W2K was over W98. I want an OS which supports the latest technology, security etc but I want it to be able to be set up so it can work they way I want to interact with it. Vista has to many shouting stop ***** about! moments for the way I want to use a PC

So what's the problem with Windows 7 then? You've already said yourself it performs better for you than Vista did. The UI is light years ahead of XP and if you've been using Vista since RC2, it's hardly a massive change apart from the taskbar.

If you don't want to have a discussion, probably not best to post on a public forum.

Haha

Doesn't really sound very factual to me! Something you believe yourself which cannot be proven beyond reasonable doubt is generally called an 'opinion'.

Bomag said:

Technology versus prime ministers? That comparison is ridiculous and you know it. Vista is written to take advantage of newer, better hardware than XP, and thus has new features such as Aero and Superfetch that increase your productivity.

So because you don't like the performance of Vista, you're immediately ruling out 7 because it looks like Vista? Can't you see how nonsensical that is? Don't you think there might have been some changes under the hood?

One day, new versions of popular apps will no longer work on XP, and you lot will be dragged kicking and screaming into the present.
