Ive been on vista ultimate for a few months and all in all im quite happy with it.

It a newish OP so there are going to be bugs with it.

i think you need to be running a decent spec to benifit fully from it, and what glitches it does have will soon be gone!

Everyone prefers different things XP, 2000, linux etc so its never going to stop the debate.

In around 5 years XP will be obsolete and Vista will prob replace it as its mainstream.

and lol at people who have only given it a brief glance, any progs that dont work have usually released a vista version and if it hasnt then there are others that will work.

in my experience it offers more than XP did plus it looks a lot dam better

and my pc has run for over two weeks without a restart running vista, i left it seeding whilst in tenerife and it was still doing the buisness when i got home lol

Hello all, I first install vista Ultimate on my Single core Intel solo 1.8 GHz Laptop with 1 gig of DDR2 ram, was kind of cool at first, yes not all the programs worked but what a hell i always found new ones. But in vista my battery only lasts 1 hour !!!!!!!!!! , in XP last 2 hours !!!!!! tooooooooooooooooooooo much for me. Other thing that killed the OS was that if Vista showed a pop up window evry time i executed a exe, it was to much confirmation for all the executables , toooooooo much Paranoic !!! I have return to my old XP, and with VMware i can start Linux with the ISO files or what ever OS i want to try :p real good software.
The SP1 for vista, what more hd space ? jajajaja ,
If you dont have a minimun Dual Core machine with at Least 2 gigs of ram and a powerfull video card dont try it. A by the way Acronis 10 home can make perfect partition backups for Vista, Norton Ghost DO NOT WORK on vista.

Mr.X posted:
“Ive been using beos for 4 years now… it does everything I need it too. BTW what are some ppls records for uptime ? ive been 30days up only to replace an hdd.”

Best uptime running Debian: 4 years, 137 days, 11 hours, 32 minutes, 04 seconds.

I eventually rebooted since my kernel was getting horribly out of date and couldn’t run the latest apache fixes anymore (It never crashed though)

Beos?
Do you mean Zeta/Haiku or the original(RIP) one?

It will work, but attach some free space from other partitions too for the system partitons (2-3 GB each)

You need to install Vista on a seperate partition correct…
I don’t have any spare partitions… Hmmm…

Anyone think that if I used Partition Magic to split my windows (Only windows and drivers) drive (Currectly 19.8Gig, 12gig free) into say: XP drive: 8.8gig and Vista the rest..? (11gig or so)

I am just wondering if perhaps I will screw my XP over due to the partitioning…

I setup XP/Vista dual boot.

But after using Vista I decided nah, cant get into it… so the only time I use Vista now is to choose XP from the startup boot menu.

I bought my current computer with Vista. I put up with that headache for a few months, unable to play any games, and finally switched back to XP on this machine. Everything works fine now. I’m not touching Vista for many, many years.

Longest uptime for me was on an older box running Windows 98SE, had an uptime of like 5-6 months, although I only used it for leeching and seeding torrents. My regular PC , dual-booting XP pro and Vista Ultimate, gets shutdown and rebooted all the time, really see no reason to leave it on constantly or to set it to sleep or hibernate. When it comes to forced reboots tho’ ’cause of BSOD or some other hangup well that happens every few days, but I don’t care ’cause I know it’s my fault for excessive installing and uninstalling of random programs, brute overclocking, running WAY too many things at once etc…
As for the Linux vs. Windows debate I only use Windows because that’s what I first used when I first started using computers. I guess it’s a force of habit and comfort zone to use what you know. I’ve tried different variants of Linux and *meh* never saw any advantages over Windows, but if my first OS had been a Linux variant I know for a fact that I’d still be using it and my feelings reversed between Windows and Linux.

My record uptime is something like a week…

I don’t know. After a while I just need to give the poor compy a rest, give it a pat, wait for it to cool down and then fire it up again .

Ok…
You Linux fans out there… Can you not?
Don’t create an argument about “The existence of anti-virus/spyware/adware programs just proves that it is a pathetically flawed piece of garbage-shit-slut-hoe”.

I personally DON’T get these things (Adware, Spyware, Virus) at all.
I use XP SP2…
I guess I have just learnt over the years, as a Windows user, just how to prevent infection all together.
I sometimes go on to crack websites and maybe a few with some annoying spyware… Doesn’t mean I get the shit. I have NOD32 sitting there, I scan once a week and I never seem to find a thing (Kind of disappointing sometimes )

I don’t know too much about Linux, but what do you mean by it doesn’t require weekly maintenance? Bah…

I think WINDOWS is the superior OS.
It is used by more AND It is a hell of a lot better for gaming (I spend a decent wad of time gaming)

You say that these flaws in windows just won’t be fixed becuase MS is slack? Erm… I think they have enough money to bother to fix any flaws.
MS is not just some backyard company scamming you for some cheap bucks, making a hit and run to go and found another company under a different name and repeat or something .

Lol…

I would like all of the OS companies to form into one and create a universal OS.
That would be good. I sincerely HATE choice when it comes to such crucial software like this. It either doesn’t have compatibility with this, doesn’t have this feature, oh that one over there has this and that, but this one also has this, but doesnt have that but also has this to make up for that and this and THAT.

:O.
