Whos gone to Vista?
 

Hi ya'll

Whos made the switch and your thoughts?

I myself think its there best yet, At present the only downer is that Alcohol will not run
All my other software that wouldn't run all i had to do was set them to XP sp2 compatibility
mode and install as admin and there all running 100%.

I also think the look is outstanding, not to mention the Sidebar and gadgets
It was a shame about MS removing Active Desktop as i used that for adding the
vaispy.php so that i could see the latest posts in real time right there on my desktop
but i have now made a gadget for myself and yep there it is back on the desktop :)

I have now got all my programs installed and the speed of my pc is unreal compared
to what it was like with XP installed.

I give it :up: big time :)

I don't have a reason to switch yet

You can have the same desktop also with XP :) However i am also planning to move to vista soon as i know tons of things changed. I used Rc1 for a month and i loved all the features vista provided.

But SLOWER!

I have been using Vista since RC1 and I'm on RTM Ultimate now. Hands down, Microsoft did something right for once. Although a few minor things are stupid, you get used to them quick.

I plan to stay away from it as long as possible.

I plan to stay away from it forever. ;)

And, no, Im not a Mac user either.

Thats a shame, I would reccomend installed that ms virtual PC 2007 and install vista to that, then see what you think, ya got to have a go before ya judge it :)

I must say the other niggly thing is it was always asking me to confirm everything twice over cause of the security settings, i sorted it now, very rarely get any problems from him now :)

I heard it does not allow many games to play, not that I am much of a gamer it would be a down side for me.

Also anything micro soft is not good to use until it has been out for enough time to get the majority of the holes plugged.

I can play Farcry ;)
Any software that struggles to work all i did was set it to XP sp2 compatability mode and run as admin, I have had it in for a week now and no way will i go back, i cant beleive how fast it is compare to XP :)

Looks nice. I beta tested it and It was so full of problems I had to remove it but that was awhile back. I have heard very mixxed reviews the younger crowd seems to drool over it the older crowed seems to piss on it. I will wait until I upgrade my current system before trying it again. One of the neatest features I thought was the extra memory you can add by using a simple USB thumb drive. Those are so cheap these days compaired to installed ram I was using a 3 gig to boost my system to 4 total and it was blazing fast.
