hello,
My question is ~Is window vista is good version of its family?
As in my opinion its a very bad version of its family,as to install u need a good graphics card and lots of harddisk, lots of ram and i think that it doesn't support to MS DOS also.

HAVE A NICE DAY!

>>Is window vista is good version of its family
yes

>>u need a good graphics card and lots of harddisk
Its really cheap now. If you can't affort the few dollars to upgrade then don't install Vista.

>>and i think that it doesn't support to MS DOS also.
No version of Windows since Windoes NT 4.0 has supported MS-DOS. Sure, they all have command windows, but that ain't MS-DOS.


>>some of my friends using the vista and they are not satisfied with this vista family!
There are a lot of games that will not work in Vista, so in that regard I have to agree. XP had the same problem when it first came out, but game manufacturers eventually got around to supporting XP and they will do the same with Vista. I have my computer set up to dual boot XP and Vista so that I can play my favorite games on XP becuse Blizard has no intention of upgrading them.

I agree with Ancient Dragon above me completely.

I also have a dual boot set up on this very machine, and it works well for me. XP for the past, Vista for the future (and most of now).

Now, I have my system specs in my profile. If you check it out, you see that my computer is more than adequate to run vista without any hitches. But most people don't want to buy new hardware and updated software, so they turn around and complain when they try to run vista on a machine that can barely handle XP.

What seems to work best is 2 GB of RAM, at least a 2.0 GHz dual core processor, and any video card with about 256 MB dedicated memory, conservatively. But the more, the better!

For me, Vista works great. It looks great, runs seamlessly, and the user interface (while it took some time to get used to) is more intuitive (for me). My opinion is that Vista is a big step above XP, and it is the best Windows OS to date. *IF* you have the hardware.

As for compatibility issues... Thats just something people need to suck up. If its that much of a problem, you can set up a dual boot, or a virtual machine to run XP at the same time. I actually have both.

Finally, vista is the future. Its not going do die out like ME. So we had all better get used to it !

All the best,

Agreed with Comodore. I had a very bad opinion of Vista. I was running it on an Athlon 64 2800+ with !Gig RAM and a 7300GT card w/ 256MB. The system crawled while XP flew. However, I just got a new system with a Core2Duo E6550, 4Gigs RAM and the onboard G33 Express GFX chipset (will buy a card later). Vista flies. If you run Vista on an outdated machine or if you skimp on RAM, it's gonna suck. Get some good hardware and you're fine.

engg_mohit420e you obviously have a bad picture in your head of vista try it and see if you like it if not go back to whatever you were using before in my opinion vista is better than xp but that is only my thoughts you have to make up your own mind, yer vista is resource hungry but if you give it what it needs it will work like a dream!

Hi,
Thank u for ur reply. I am completely satisfy with ur answer.
Thanks a lot.
Happy new Year once again!

I've had Vista for about 6 months and I HATE IT. I bougth a new Dell laptop with good specs (and I maxed out memory and got a generous drive to boot) and had Vista factory installed. It has been nothing but trouble. It is slow, unreliable and prone to problems. It constantly updates itself, but nothing seems to improve. It has already used over 40 GB of disk space (and I have VERY LITTLE on this machine except Vista, Office and C# Express). My old XP machine only had a 40 GB drive, and I never filled it up the entire time I used it. I cannot rely on the Vista CD writing software at all. It constantly looses the ability to read and write CDs which it could use the day before. The Help is a joke, but not quite as bad of a joke as the Help for Office 07, which is really pathetic. In short, I wish I had paid EXTRA to get XP instead of Vista. I would be a lot better off now.

I have never been a big fan of the Mac OS-Xuser interface, but when I look at my wife running a five year old Mac which consistently outperforms my new PC, and never causes her any problems, I wonder just how M$ keeps shoving this JUNK down our throats, with no end in site. The Mac adds are right on.

I have not tried Vista on a laptop and my PC has 280Gig hard drive. So I don't have that hd problem either.

I don't use the CD burner that comes with Vista. Instead I use free DVD Decrypter

Same here. I have a Dell Inspiron 530 w/ 4GB RAM and a 2x250GB hard drives. System works beautifully.

i have 2* 500g sata 1 * 200g sata 1 * pata 250g 1 * pata 400g so im fine on space too it runs like a dream!! infact i have about 700gb of free space!
