Why? 24-10-2007 01:54 PM

Vista ... Do You have it
 
I have Vista and i have not experience any problems with it and i have been using my computer 24/7 since the end of April/early may and i can only conclude that it is miles better than XP

i was just wondering if the people that say it is the worst version ever have vista

i think it is definitely worth get

and i think there is some conspiracy going on i blame Apple

Don't get it yet, big mistake. It's full of crap at the moment. Wait until service pack one or two comes out.

GiRTh 24-10-2007 02:08 PM

I agree with Matthew. With Microsoft's track record, it's very bold to install their new operating system without waiting for any of the service packs. Remember, due to Microsofts omnipresence, every clever hacker in the world is currently trying to break Vista. Something tells me they’ll do it.

i certianly do have vista!

I don't on my computer and I'm not sure it'll be upgraded just yet, although it is on my laptop. That's because I bought it recently though and Vista came with it. I quite like it as well - it's just as straightforward to use.

Ruth*Star 24-10-2007 04:33 PM

I don't but my dad does, and he says he likes using it, i've used it myself and its quite slow.

Jack 24-10-2007 04:34 PM

I have it. Can't see any problems with it. It's better than XP.

BritneyMajorFan 24-10-2007 07:22 PM

I have it, and its much better than XP!

Faster and better value for money!

Yeah... lots and lots of money... I believe the top package costs £350...

Maybe, but the countless errors don't make up for that. In it's current state it's awful value for money.

I've had it since the day it was released and am so far pretty happy. A service pack would be nice though yeah.

Desk top XP (This one is from 2002 and probably would not handle it - the fan goes crazy if you try and view anything on YouTube)

Laptop came preinstalled with Vista Home Basic.

Captain.Remy 25-10-2007 07:18 AM

I don't know what to think about it. The overall think is good but so far, so much people had problems with Vista so I'm going to wait a little bit more.

Red Moon 25-10-2007 11:35 AM

I can't really see the point in upgrading any of the old windows machines to Vista, it's not worth it. They all work well with windows XP and it would just slow them down and cost me money for the upgrades.

Callum 25-10-2007 12:31 PM

I could have got it for free, as the package came with my laptop, but I didn't send off for it. It seems to complicated for me, I'm happy with my Windows XP.

Ann 25-10-2007 12:40 PM

yes you go there callum same here too mate i did try it once but it is very hard when your so used to windows xp :hug:

Matt08 25-10-2007 01:46 PM

I've got Windows XP Media Center 2005 at the moment and i'm quite happy with that but as soon as Vista release service pack 2, i'll be getting it.

Trying ?


Cracked copies were available the week before launch day - if you knew were to look.

No I won't be installing vista because of its DRM shackles, making even editing your own videos or ripping your own cd's, or converting your own music files a pain.

Looks like I'll be sticking with XP 'til it becomes open source, and then is made properly secure, just like W98 when that went open source, the bug fixes and mods that were made by the online community made it more secure and manageable than Microsoft ever did.

geoking66 28-10-2007 02:20 AM

I just got OS X Leopard, beats any Microsoft operating system any day (so do all Macs). Then again, I've used Macs my whole llife so I have some bias.

Corkie 28-10-2007 08:40 PM

It's on my laptop. Don't really see the difference to be honest... :puzzled::blush:

Daniel__ 28-10-2007 09:28 PM
