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.

barely any companys upgrade windows, its because half the time there old systems wont work, no other reason, i still know mates that work for companys that are on 98, not beacause xp or vista is "crap" but they cant afford it amongst other reasons

I was thinking 'big' corps. BT, Councils, BA etc etc

Also Microsoft are now uber cunts(if they werent already), we are paying higher prices to subsidise the american market, nice one gates

barrett^p · 15th February 2007, 09:48

Lol, just get yourselves onto Mac OSX and wait for Leopard to come out. Far better than all this windows bollocks!

It probably does look amazing and have some really good features but I couldnt
buy a new Operating System until Ive read endless reviews and know the ins
and outs if you know what I mean.

XP only just meets my needs, plenty of games that dont work on it I used to
play and there are little things that really really piss me off.

I can imagine Vista would just make things worse for myself and my needs.

Nothing beats simplicity, applies to car modding and IT

Win 98 SE!!!

Scott^p · 15th February 2007, 09:54

98se was good.

Read that review on vista, its frankly brilliant. I also look forward to the security review thats going to be written though i fear it may be like a phone book

rushy_23 · 15th February 2007, 10:37

That review hasnt done anything for me Scott!

MTR · 15th February 2007, 20:34

While 98SE worked, think back to how many times it crashed and there was no way to restart explorer half the time! XP was worlds apart for stability. That's the main problem i think, after SP1 m$ got XP so right there isn't much need for users to upgrade right now. All that Vista offers is DX10 if you are into gaming, apart from that the looks can be achieved easily with XP or Linux.

And how many graphics cards yet support DirectX 10..... hardly any unless you spend stupid amounts of cash.

Still waiting to hear more on this topic including screen shots of the real vista......

Hence why i said if you're into gaming.

Enthusiasts always have the latest and greatest. The 8800 GTS with 320MB has just been released meaning DX10 is becoming more affordable already! Just need some games now!

You can get tons of screenshots from any Vista review on the web. You must have seen most of it by now??!

sorry for bringing up an old thread.

but, is it just me or is Vista the biggest bag of wank ever?

must find out my old xp disc

Karl · 24th November 2007, 11:43

alot of people revert to the good old XP.

Ive just bought a machine with Vista, whether ill keep it like that forever I dont know....

Ste · 24th November 2007, 11:58

There is only one problem with Vista.

Drivers.

That is all.

lyndon · 24th November 2007, 12:05

Using Vista Ultimate 32bit atm, No problems, other than Teamspeak and Ventrillo don't work right due to drivers, as Ste said

EDIT : uploading some screenies for anyone who's interested
