installed vista this weekend, just wanted to let you guys know how amazing it is.

it is such a better o/s than xp and sooooooooooooooo much more pleasing to the eye! 10/10

or download the transformation pack for free and you have an exact look alike of vista haha..... whats so good about it then bud? I havnt used it before, quite interested whats new!

stevossaxo · 11th February 2007, 22:13

there is this new thing called aero - which makes all the pages 3d, so you can easily switch between programs..... endless amounts of improvements buddy

DarylVTR · 11th February 2007, 22:24

I cant see a use for that function myself but cool.... can you show us some screen shots?

furiomike · 11th February 2007, 22:25

yeah the aero interface looks pretty cool. the only problem is that its gonna rape yer games performance unless you got a very top end pc. even then its gonna take a hit. not the end of the world though.

MTR · 11th February 2007, 22:26

Also full of bugs, unsupported hardware and huge performance issues, 'cept that it's cool!

stevossaxo · 11th February 2007, 23:31

Scott^p · 12th February 2007, 01:04

if some special graphics makes a great operating system then carry on...

jk47 · 12th February 2007, 01:17

theyve gone more mac style from what ive seen so it should be good ;P

From what iv seen of vistain the preview before Linux XGL hit beta & after the microsoft developers had seen XGL. I think its obvious where their 'inspiration' came from.
Although the XGL team produced theres in a fraction of the time microsoft did & XGL is so much more effecient in how it utilises your hardware that you can run it on the same spec machine as windows 98

vista is full of bugs and loads of crap, not secure at all and is the #1 target for hackers now.
hardware issues are all over the place and loads of performance issues

other than that it looks pretty, tho mac does and doesnt have microshit issues to come with it

ill stick with xp for now, until vista is more useable.

they can try, every time someone tryes to attempt an attack my symantec products let me know and block them.......

at the end of the day im pretty much the only member with vista (maybe alongside of a few others) so none of you guys can really comment untill you have tryed it......

Scott^p · 12th February 2007, 23:49

Lol i bet i have used it more than you and for far longer than you have

maybe, but then why didnt you state that, kinda makes a differnce to your opionion buddy, as blatently people on here have never even used it... so they cannot really comment

Not after offending anyone.. But Vista is a piece of crap. Microsoft Operating systems have been getting worse and worse the more stuff and functions they're putting on there. After XP Becomes completely obsolete.. I'm going to just completely move to Linux rather than what i'm doing now, hopping on XP for when i need to use certain programs. For ease rather than any real need.

LOL I'm part of the m$ beta programme and deploy products for BT. I'd used Vista before you even knew it's code name. Now we are done defending ourselves

I will still maintain it's less than great right now, no company i know of has plans to 'upgrade' [read: sidestep] for at least 18 months, that should tell you enough.

Trice · 13th February 2007, 00:54

Oh, Added to that.. XP alone is a complete process and memory hog. From what i've heard of a mate who tested Vista out.. Vista is even worse.

Vista in time will be a nice OS. It's modular approach to implementation is being adopted in many different areas. It's just not ready for a full time OS IMHO.
'Stay on the bleeding edge and get cut' might be one way to describe it.

Trice · 13th February 2007, 01:08

Microsoft will need to pay alot more attention to Vista than they did with XP IMO
