i use to think xp was better than vista, but vista is WAY better. however, if you are a casual user vista might annoy, since it switched up file names, and other little quirks. but overall blows xp out of the water. 7/6/2008 1:38:04 AM |

meh - i have a p4 2.8 hyperthreaded w/ 1gb of pc3200 and a 256mb ati agp card so im in no hurry to install that system hog...explorer.exe uses 13mb on my XP machine, and on a freshly booted Vista Ultimate box it uses 75mb, which is a stiff increase...the graphics card needs to be a bit beefier as well to handle the constant load of all that graphic goodness in the new glassy GUI (which i don't even like).
yeah, my box is old as moses, but i will say that my box is still a strong machine as far as editing sound/video so really....vista doesnt offer me anything but less available system resources available than in XP. 7/6/2008 1:49:49 AM |

you know damn well that as soon as you get away from what win95 offered in an OS you lose the following. i'm not rationalizing/fooling myself either - the #'s don't lie, and for any that read this, don't game primarily on your box if you can't afford major upgrades every 18 months or less....just buy a wii/ps3/360 instead, and have money for beer left over. 7/6/2008 1:55:48 AM |
