Ferret Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 that's my problem, i have a laptop! and i am going to get a desktop soon and maybe get vista removed. and i think my laptop has 502 ram.
Revolutionary Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 502 MB Ram + vista = ouch your not going to be able to do to much with that, vista really need 1GB to be usefull and to let you run some newer games and programs
Ferret Posted July 24, 2009 Author Posted July 24, 2009 i have a 26 gigabyte hard drive. and 23 of it is being used to unknown programs. i wiped the computer and still 23 being used. so i decided to get a new computer and remove vista from it and install xp. sound good?
Irony Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Lol how'd you get a laptop like that with vista on it?! It sounds like a laptop from 2002
Ferret Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 it's a piece of shit i'll tell ya that! i am going to get a desktop soon. and when i purchase it i am going to remove vista for an extra $200. :laugh:
Irony Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Vista > XP Win7 > Vista You'd be better off saving your money
pichorra Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Vista > XP Haven't seen much proof of that. it is incomplete: Vista>XP in Freezes, travation, usage of memory, XP is really good, light, i think XP is the best windows. Vista>XP in grafical performance, who is good for designers, BETTER IDEA: Let's all use linux

Vista>XP in grafical performance, who is good for designers, bullshit, Vista has NEVER frozen or crashed on me and if you are concerned with memory usage, use Windows 2000 it uses less memory than XP.

pichorra Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 XP have more security (if windows have more security ) and runs MORE applications and is conpatible with more drivers, so, i opted for XP
Ferret Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 i just perfer xp more because of how it feels and runs.
Tore Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 XP have more security (if windows have more security ) and runs MORE applications and is conpatible with more drivers, so, i opted for XP Eh? Vista is a lot more secure than XP.... and Vista runs all apps XP can (except for DOS games ) Stop spreading information that was valid in 2006 about Vista, it isn't true anymore...
Irony Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 The only thing bad about vista is the higher system requirements (Which any computer bought in the past 4 years should be able to accommodate). All the rest is the media sensationalising it. Any crashes are caused by manufacturers making shitty drivers Vista's anything but unstable, The computer I'm using now has an up-time of over 650 hours (That's almost a month) and it's running just as well as it did when I started it up. When I ran XP I had to restart every few days. Vista also runs my apps quicker thanks to the superfetch feature. The changes in the user interface are so great I actually hate using XP these days. The start menu search box is great as a makeshift command line, the breadcrumb navigation in explorer is cool too, better network controls are a bonus too. And best of all I can run 64-bit, so I can get some better performance out of newer games! And if you've got old 16-bit apps to run, use DOSBOX The DWM speeds up the interface because it cuts out GDI calls which should have disappeared with Windows 95. and Vista is WAY more secure than XP, There's a reason why people who switch to Mac/Linux think that the security is comparatively better, it's because they used XP before the switch and discovered that it's very easy to get XP infected with viruses and spyware. And the glass does look pretty Vista > XP
Nyerguds Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 good gods, is this going to need another split like the Browser Wars? X_x

And the glass does look pretty Vista > XP Depends of the user, an experient user can define a virus only looking to him, and, use avira and malwarebits, never got problems when i instaled that 2 programs, Use SP3, it have more sercurity. (but, i dont know if windows have security yet )
Tore Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I like both XP and Vista; I have used XP for a very long time and I have never had and problems with it and I got Vista with my laptop and I have never had any problems with it either.
Ferret Posted August 26, 2009 Author Posted August 26, 2009 i just like xp because more user friendly to me! and i've never had any problems with either operating systems. edit: sorry this topic is kind of old but i just wanted to state that.
pichorra Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 just wanted to revive the topic... because it's a OS Wars, new fight occour! ...I'm re-installing VS now (not had it installed since I upgraded to windows 7) so I'll probably be able to get an update out today. as... Irony tyed to get your computer freezing with Windows Vista and upgraded to windows 7??
Irony Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 haha, no. Vista is a perfectly good OS. However, Windows 7 is better and because of my degree course, I get two free copies of Windows 7. So I went ahead and used them

Big Damo Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I'm a fan of W7 personally, I don't care how much memory this or that uses extra over an older version of Windows, if you are complaining about that, then its obviously time for a new PC haha. I'm sure people liked Windows 3.11 over 95.
