    I’ve been making money by downgrading VISTA to XP on a few new laptops in my area. Seems the general public prefers XP.

    If I buy a new computer with vista installed, How can I downgrade to XP? Does it have to be a specific brand of comp to do it or what?

    If there is one piece of software one should have the original of it is definitely Windows, or the operating system in general. Just my five cents. ^^

    October 19th, 2008 | 01:24

    why downgrade to xp? Vista is awesome.
    Sure your pc has to be pretty decent and not some old junk, but other then that, it works smooth and has never crashed on me (power user). No network or hardware/software issues. And haven’t even installed SP1 yet. I think i’ll try this release.

    Also install “TweakUAC” (http://www.tweak-uac.com/home/) to get rid of those annoyingly intrusive UAC popups. Put it in Quiet mode.

    That’s funny because I have been giving away free advice to people new to Windows Vista so they can enjoy the new OS instead of downgrading to Windows XP so they can suffer from all the security flaws.

    Been using Vista for almost a year now, only had a problem with my control panel not opening when I first got it, now it’s great.

    It’s at least as stable as XP, people just need to stop bashing it, so that other people can start to use it and realise it’s not as crap as people make it out to be.

    Might as well wait for Windows 7, think of Vista as a beta for Windows 7. Microsoft did the same with Windows 2000 and XP.

    Atleast Windows 7 is modular =)

    I agree I’ve had vista 2 months before it was even released to the public and it runs fine. It is more stable then XP I think. It actually looks online constantly for updates for software and hardware. Sure if your computer is garbage it wont run Vista so for those people XP is a better solution. But security wise vista is the best. In the almost 2 years I’ve been running it I HAVE NEVER had a single virus and for 1 year I didnt even run any A/V software. Now I use ESET NOD32 and I reccomend Vista to anybody that comes to me with computer trouble.

    Spam protection: Sum of 2 + 7 = 27,

    Now we got that out of the way.

    I’m a MAC user myself, but i do also own a “windows” Laptop. and to be honest I seriously do not understand why people do not want to switch to Vista… always talking about XP is better than vista , this and that B.S,hell no, Vista is way better than XP, the User Interface is much more beautiful, u get Media Center, and so many other extras that XP just lacks.. I remember when Windows XP first came out, and all the people who had Windows 2000, mouned and groaned over the same things, oh XP is just a prettier interface, this and that. Now every where i read, its people complaining over the same issues. O.k look I understand the fact that when it first came outwas hard t, it o obtain drivers for most of the external peripherals, I.E printers and scanners, but if like myself u always visits the manufacturers site, to check for drivers updates, u’ll find that almost all the drivers have been updated to vista. another thing that I do not understand is simply who in there right state of mind will keep a PC for any longer than 3-4 years, it simply becomes outdated. Unless u have one PC and only use it for data entry then yes, but apart from that, every pc needs to be upgraded to keep up with our ever hunger for more memory and faster CPU. I bet u XP users still use CRT monitors huh? Refusing to upgrade to Vista is like having a pentium 4 running on DOS Operating System, its just pointless. come on guys, u need to make Bill gates rich, otherwise he wont offer free Internet explorers anymore. on that note, Ever since i moved on to a MAC from February this year, life has been smooth sailing for me.. yes MACINTOSH >>>>> PC…case closed

    Set yourselves Free Guys get MAC OSX 10.5.2 Leopard

    @ Fatal,

    I guess some people just like staying familier, I use XP Sp3 on my desktop with a 50″ LCD TV, so got yah there =P. I am one of those people that like to stay familier, but I do have Vista on my laptop, which I use more often anyway.

    Never used a MAC, really gotta try one.

    October 19th, 2008 | 02:12

    Actually there is nothing wrong with Vista. It runs perfectly, but it’s not easy to swicth over from WinXP to Vista due to different user interface.

    I personally use XP since I don’t have drivers for Vista. I could of course download them, but this is more complicated to find the correct drivers.

  27. III MoD BoX III
    October 19th, 2008 | 02:14

    @ #27…during a vista upgrade it will go online and install the drivers for your hardware 95% of the time it WILL find the drivers and you wont have to go looking for anything

    October 19th, 2008 | 02:20

    I’ve also been helping people upgrade their laptops from Vista to XP SP3 and it’s worth doing for free just to see the looks of relief and joy when released from the laggy bloated tyranny of the horrendous Vista

    any Vista users that say they are ‘happy’ are in total denial – I’m sorry, to require a hi-specced quadcore and 4 gigs ram just to do some word processing in Office and have translucent window bars and a clock widget does not a good computer make

    You are in denial over vista. Runs perfectly smooth with 2 gigs on my amd 3800 X2 – while I have photoshop, illustrator and dreamweaver open while listening to music in itunes.

    In fact, it multitasks better than XP ever did on the same rig.

    I have a Vista/XP dual boot system and Vista is taking over more and more. And no, I don’t have a high end machine – 2.6 GHz Celeron and 1 GB or ram and ZERO problems. Anyone who says it’s too bloated and slow has no clue what theya re talking about.

    Troll much?

    But I do have a laptop that came with Vista Home. Will this upgrade or will I have to do a clean install?

    I bought my laptop over a year ago and it came with vista business, always had problems with it running slow, upgraded to 2gb ram and still having problems with it taking almost a minute to switch windows when i only have itunes, firefox and WoW open. Just bought a new hard drive and im installing xp pro on it :)
    Thought id throw my 2 pence in :)

    XP is superior when it comes to both performance and compatibility. There’s no reason to switch to Vista other than “ooh, shiny”, which is outright stupid.

  38. Theodore
    October 19th, 2008 | 03:13

    hmmm…Vista isn’t that hard to use, but if you’ve had problems with it, I guess you’ll have to downgrade to the OLD stuff

    I installed an earlier RLS of vista a couple weeks back. Having not really spent much time on vista until then. I find that minus some quirky changes in the UI from XP to Vista. I find that the current patched Vista is better than XP.

    The speed of Vista on my machine is perfectly fine. I find no discernible lag in speed from Vista. I have a mediocre machine, Dual Core Opteron 175, 2 Gig RAM.

    So I conclude that either many of the bugs that caused many of the issues people had with Vista to be fixed, or that all the hate was propaganda and disinformation from competition and pure Microsoft haters. I would bet it is a combination of the both.

    The main reason I hesitated using vista for so long was the drivers not being up to date. Now it would appear all the major manufacturers have updated their hardware drivers, as I had no issues with the base install recognizing all my hardware.

    Vista is nice if you’re into bloatware. Nah, use a neat stripped down Xp sp3 64bit version instead.

  41. mudkipz
    October 19th, 2008 | 03:26

    my XP machine is running perfectly fine after 2 1/2 years without reinstall so i don’t see any reason to switch but on the other hand … if you get free vista with your new PC why not?

    just wondering: is there any difference (beside the updates) between this version and some other version you might find elsewhere from a few month back?

  42. qwert
    October 19th, 2008 | 03:33

    @ 45

    This version is merely a a slipstreamed version of Vista Ultimate+all patches(includes SP1) as of mid-Oct.

    Basically it just combines all the patches into one install.

    to every1 on here saying there is nuthin wrong with vista maybe you need to learn some facts b4 commenting- heres 1 4 starters-the huge lack of compatibility from vista towards games-jus search it on the net. any game released b4 vista=hassle . lame OS

    I’ve been using Vista for a year now and I really don’t see what’s the problem with it, XP is for people that are so used to an interface, are afraid to switch (I do not know why) or have a crappy box ….remember people way back nobody liked XP ;P

    all i gotta say is if u like games get xp, cuz any game i can run fine on xp with only 2gbs of ram and old pentium 4 3.0 ghz and Geforce 7800 gs AGP 8x wont run for crap on vista with 4 gbs of ram AMD 64 bit Dual COre Processor And Nvidia 8600gt pci excpress

  56. vista sucks
    October 19th, 2008 | 06:24

    nah, Vista does suck in general, whether you have an awesome machine or not. i have a quad core that i built with Vista Home Premium that i benched against an Athlon 64+ dual core running XP Pro SP2…the Athlon won in terms of stability & performance in software (hardware is a “duhh” considering the spec differences).

    Vista uses a helluva lot more resources (ESPECIALLY ram), & is useless unless it’s Ultimate or Aero in my opinion, especially for gaming. personally i’d say if you’re so in love with Vista, try any of the Ubuntu series, especially Beryl, in which Microsoft gently “lifted” the interface for Aero from.

    I use kubuntu and xp dual boot since the first thing I did when I bought my new laptop is format and put OSes on their that don’t suck old hairy balls. Maybe one day I will have a quad core and 8 gig ram so it doesn’t take a half hour to boot up but until then I don’t want to have to upgrade just to idle at the desktop without virtual memory constantly running. Anything less than that kind of hardware is simply unbearable with vista and I didn’t know how much it truly sucked until I bought this laptop. Core 2 duo and 3 gig ram and still sucked so much I’d rather go without a pc than to use it with vista. Enjoy wasting a perfectly good piece of media on downloading this garbage. I will wait until they don’t suck which is not likely since windows will suck ass as will anything that is going to have vista codebase from now on. I will continue to format and put ubuntu and xp back on machines for people for free just to rid the world of another vista install.

  66. Akbar
    October 19th, 2008 | 09:19

    Dimitry, it’s not worth the wasted media or the time. Vista sucks for gaming. 64 bit vista doesn’t play most games anyway. If you do try vista for gaming just assume the games will run only half as well as what they would in xp. It’s that damn bad.

    @29: Why so dramatic?

    You guys really blow this whole deal out of proportion. I have a decent dualcore and 2Gb ram, and Vista runs just fine. I’ve usually got Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash running constantly, with Firefox, uTorrent, and MPC on the side. I’ve experienced no noticeable slowdown as compared to when I used to use XP. It’s definitely not night and day as you claim.

    i am currently using vista ultimate(different then posted) and have little to no problems with it.

    uses more ram sure but you get direct x 10 which is great on gaming.

    unless you are running a single core system with less than a gig or ram you should be using vista.

    xp was made in like 2001 so that is like 7 years ago.

    System requirements for Windows XP Home and Professional editions as follows:[30]
    Minimum Recommended
    Processor 233 MHz 300 MHz or higher
    Memory 64 MB RAM1 128 MB RAM or higher
    Video adapter and monitor Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher resolution
    Hard drive disk free space 1.5 GB or higher
    Drives CD-ROM drive or DVD drive
    Input devices Keyboard. Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
    Sound Sound card. Speakers or headphones

    those requirements are a joke by todays standards
    that tells you how far outdated it is.

    so unless you are running a dinosaur then get with the times.

    Akbar is one of that anti-vista maniacs … their problem is, they have crappy computer or crappy hardware manufacturer which cant make good drivers … but when you have everything installed right … it works really fine … I have Vista 64-bit for a long time … and I play games having no any single problem at all … its stable, smooth and … just working … dont be afraid to give it a try … I was but tried … and now I see, there was no reason to be afraid …

    ok, vista doesnt suck, i ran it on my old comp from the time it came out till september last year, the comp had 512 ram, 800mhz cpu(garbage now huh?) and with my new comp, i run absolutly smooth, it cost me $600(not bad for a prefab comp) and its about $400 today, its 2.6ghz, 2gigs ram. so seriously, those having problems must be running a personal word processor or something. with my old piece of ‘garbage’ i had the occasional bit of lag, nothing more. unless u like to run 20 different windows of firefox/internet explorer. 2 games of tabula rasa on high specs, 5 WoW’s, 30 runescapes, d/ling 5million things, theres seriously no problem. yes, its a bit bigger than XP, but its more user friendly. currently im running home basic, but thanx to Acer (best prefab company ive bought from), they made my vista basic, just like premium. but all in all, unless ur running a comp that runs the OS from a 5 1/2 inch floppy, u should be fine

    I dont care how old XP is, you still get better performance out of it. Not my words, google benchmarks between xp sp3 and vista sp1. XP is faster in file copying, applications like photoshop and gaming too.

    To be honest i didn’t saw a whole lot of difference between dx9 and dx10. And Vista uses more ram for some reason i don’t understand. And i hate searching for features that i knew blindly in xp.

    I don’t know how the Vista apologists can keep a straight face about this

    not only is Vista next to useless for serious gamers, anyone that does serious work with audio (recording, DJing, etc) CANNOT use it because of the moronic new way they implemented sound management; furthermore, it STILL doesn’t have drivers for most professional hardware, lots of pro software is STILL incompatible, and that’s not even going into the nonsense of the DRM issues

    Like tfk said @ 2: i bought my windows xp legally…
    It has:1. 2 much space requirement
    2. You can be caught by downloading it illigaly.
    3. it’s 50-50 (that you could be caught..

    vista seems to run slow when you first start it up,
    but its all about finetuning settings along with good hardware and it works like a charm
    its kind of a pleasure for the eye compared to xp
    oh btw: vista sp2 béta comes in 4 weeks

    RE Asdf

    If you turn off UAC you are basically downgrading Vista to XP, security wise.

    the big problem with vista is it takes way to much ram and videocard to run it, AND it doesnt run with half the software out there.. AND XP runs games lots better! ive put XP on laptops that Vista is on,(they try to make it hard by not making drivers) find drivers and XP FLYS with the RAM that Vista needs! Vista= Bloatware!

    I have Vista64 Ultimate with 8Gigs of RAM and an Intel E8400 and it flies! Everything starts instantaneously! :)

    BTW: UAC is for n00bs! And yes SP2 will come soon! My guess is 2009! Windows 7 in 2010 if all goes well! :)
    For gamers 64bit is a must!

    I have been using Vista for over a year with out issues, it is on my laptop and my main computer. Recently my Father needed a new laptop for work but being an Electrical Engineer he wanted XP because everyone had been saying that Vista is terrible and that it won’t run their specialized software. Well i bought his laptop and had everything running including all his specialized software on Vista. The Specialized Software includes Primavera, RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000 and many more PLC and SCADA programs. So to anyone that uses specialized software check first before listening to the uneducated dribble of people who are too lazy/stupid to learn a new OS.

    @99

    you’re wrong on nearly every count

    I used Vista for a year, and like you, apologised for it during that time with the usual crap about its ‘better security’, ‘better-looking’, and all the other excuses before seeing the error of my ways – I upgraded back to XP SP3 and ever since am constantly reminded of how wrong I was to stick up for the nonsense that is Vista

    just because something’s ‘newer’ doesn’t make it necessarily better – there are lots of software and hardware versions that get worse as they’re updated, and Vista is a classic case in point

    The Mojave Experiment? Run by, who exactly? Oh yeah: MICROSOFT themselves loool

    Here, you can trust Tom’s Hardware’s Benchtest:

    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/xp-vs-vista,1531.html
    & conclusion here:
    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/xp-vs-vista,1531.html

    “Windows Vista clearly is not a great new performer when it comes to executing single applications at maximum speed.

    There are some programs that showed deeply disappointing performance.

    We are disappointed that CPU-intensive applications such as video transcodinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcode with XviD (DVD to XviD MPEG4) or the MainConcept H.264 Encoder performed 18% to nearly 24% slower in our standard benchmark scenarios. Both benchmarks finished much quicker under Windows XP.

    Vista runs considerably more services and thus has to spend somewhat more resources on itself. Indexing, connectivity and usability don’t come for free.

    No new Windows release has been able to offer more application performance than its predecessor.”

    @ 105…that benchmark was pre sp1…you proved nothing. Vista is a great, secure, stable os….far more than xp. It manages memory great…it is not a memory hog like the morons are saying…memory caching anyone?…unused memory is wasted memory. & you will be using a d/l’ed version, so no money lost…it was the best move I have ever made…

    Does anyone have a working WGA crack for Vista? Mine has been showing as not legitimate since SP1 came out. I’ve got WGA Validation 1.8.31.9 and 1.7.69.2 but it’s not working.

    Thanks

    Few reasons why I think that Vista is crap:
    1. Uses WAYYY too much memory (just running idle, without any programs launched). Impossible to use on PCs with less than 1GB RAM. (some older PCs and those small laptops with Intel Atom CPU)
    2. MANY older programs and games refuse to run on Vista (and some newer ones too).
    3. UAC popups are annoying (fortunately, you can disable UAC).
    4. There are no signed drivers for some hardware for 64bit edition, unsigned drivers refuse to work on SP1, also some drivers for virtual devices refuse to work if they’re not signed.

    #105 is 100% right. Even if tomshardware tested Vista SP1 vs. XP, results would still be similar.

    I have Vista Ultimate x64 installed (just for games to work in DX10 mode) but I prefer XP64 (would use 32bit, but it can’t see my 6GB RAM) as my main OS.
    If you need a new OS, wait for Windows 7 or use some non-Windows OS.
    Well, if you’re already using Vista, continue using it if you like it. But for me, Vista will not replace XP even on a decent PC.

    @ 42 Flexie

    “Nah, use a neat stripped down Xp sp3 64bit version instead.”

    So you recommend an OS that does not exist? 64-bit xp is only sp2.
