I have been using Vista for about 3 months and like it. But everyone I speak to hates Vista and have had problems with it. I havent had any hassles , maybe I have just been lucky. Just wondering if there is anyone who likes Vista, or am I the only one?
I've been running it on my main desktop (white box) for @ a year and I'm satisified with it. The only problem I had was with file copying after installing sp1, but after I ran CCleaner and disk cleanup (which found 6.5GB!) it ran fine.
I do, especially with my new Alienware theme. Every problem I have had with it was always my fault so i think that people who don't like it are just lazy.
Haha my best is the guy who after being told the game, says "But why is it faster?" I have to be honest, I don't think that Vista is bad in itself as a concept, but what I do know is that my main issues with it lay in:
1) It's memory usage
2) Incompatibility with devices that existed before it - typical example - some of the workstations I manage are Vista, and the printer driver that I have to use aren't named for the exact model of the printer we use, but for the model before it. So Vista calls the printer a HP 1100 (for instance), even though it is actually an HP 1200. XP on the other hand calls it what it is.
That being said, I believe Vista comes with more out of the box, and it also comes across as safer and cleverer when you're trying to do something or sort out a problem than XP.
I bought a laptop with Vista as OS shortly after it was released to the market. At first, I hated it since there are no complete drivers that we can install. But lately, I learned to appreciate its features and the larger, friendlier icons.
windows is simple software which can be know by every person who operates it.
and recently a new edition with some new features.

I was hesitant to add to this thread fearing just another XP V's Vista fruitless argument.
Having been involved with Vista since beta 1 testing (nearly 3 years), i am pleased to see that many are realizing that any Operating System worth its salt needs time to mark its place within the industry.
Sure, we had many teething problems in the early days, but i believe that this OS has developed into a truely genuine article.
Does anyone out there remember the what happened with the intro of XP? or even 2k for that matter?
Sound familiar?
Here's a shot of my version of Ultimate x64 desktop eye candy.....whats inside is sooo good i have forgotten where i put my XP disc.
