As title, I'm working my way around it all.

Just thought I'd take a snap-shot of the Aero fetures (as I've just discovered how to make it look like this!)...

 

 

Do you like my clock?! :D

Do you know any links to download vista to a comp???

Vista! :hurl: Remind anyone of NT??? Its like they have taken all the useability of 98, 2000 and XP and decided to throw it all in the bin and make it all unfriendly to use.

I've been using Vista for over a year and a half now right from the First Day of beta testing Lol

I am a registered beta tester and what fun i have had with many pre release Vista's :D Certainly a hell of alot more secure.

Vista! :hurl: Remind anyone of NT??? Its like they have taken all the useability of 98, 2000 and XP and decided to throw it all in the bin and make it all unfriendly to use.

Now I've seen this a lot, a fair few people are knocking Vista all the time, I really don't see the problem :confused: Now I know there are software/hardware issues, but that's really down to the software/hardware manufactures to sort out.

Useability? It is once you are used to it, just the same as when XP came out, I was used to NT & 2000, so it took me a while to get used to, other than that I really don't see why people always have to gripe about a new product that they've not given any real time to using! IMHO ;)

 

At the end of the day, it's on my computer, and I like it so far. Now I'm sure there will be days when I hate it ;) But then that'll probably be down to "Operator Error"!! :rofl:

haha i thought you said cock

:rofl:

Slow? Not with my Pentium D 3.2 it isn't, even with all the extra 'Power Hungry' features mines running a hell of a lot faster than I had XP running with a Pentium P4 3.0!!

looks cool to me matey !

Errrr yes it is and in a lot of cases they're not :headvswal

That's quite a major problem if your business depends on an incompatible piece of software! :mac1: LOL

Well I know absolutely bugger all about computers but it's on my new laptop and I'm not having any problems with it yet (only had it 2 days and not really ventured past getting my network set up) :D Looks cool and is all spangly and new, I'm suckered in by gimmicks and stuff though. :hyper:

No it's fast than XP on my Semtron 1.8ghz with 702MB RAM. but then again i have modified all the services and all other tweeks and it runs like a demon

 

this might help some of you who arnt conftable with changing setting your self

I have a copy comming this weekend and hope I can get the PC going with it as I hate the laptop, its too small and too slow.

" vista " isnt that a boil in the bag curry from the eighties??????????

Vista! :hurl: Remind anyone of NT??? Its like they have taken all the useability of 98, 2000 and XP and decided to throw it all in the bin and make it all unfriendly to use.

 

The words 'nail' and 'head' come to mind. I could make a better operating system with my ass. In fact, after that dodgy curry, I think I feel an operating system coming on :dance:

" vista " isnt that a boil in the bag curry from the eighties??????????

LOL - I still buy them!

 

Steve :)

I've got to be honest from someone in the trade, i loath vista with every ounce of my soul.

 

I've been using osx 10 and now have a G5 and a Powerbook Pro and i can honestly say from having to work on windows machines (including vista) i never want to go back.

 

OS X has the expose feature which does exactly the same job and has done for the past 2 years, the new version improves even more on what vista does now and at twice the speed with half the resources.

 

OS X tiger on my mac powerbook pro is pure perfection.

 

If you want games buy an xbox 360, want a seriously quick, intuative feature packed os that's stable and doesn't suffer from syware/virus every day, move to mac.

 

Yep they're more expensive but infinitely better!

LOL - I still buy them!

 

Steve :)

jees buddy i didnt even know they still made them .....mind you im from bradford and theres a curry house on every street.....its the law over here

LOL - I still buy them!

 

Steve :)

It was VESTA by the way. :D Vista is a view.

Vesta's are still around :cool:

We got Vista running on a Macbook Pro today. Everything worked except for the fooking network card :rofl:

it is being slated for good reason.

 

if you take 2 like for like machines and run xp and vista on tehm. xp is almost a 1/4 faster across the board than vista without the driver issues.

 

now please tell me what teh hells good about that?

 

Notice I did not mention the humongous size of the program either.

 

Sory, but in school teacher report language

 

Shows promise but must pay more attention in class and stop talking to specky thomas and nergy nigel

Well it works for me :D

 

And at the end of the day, how many people REALLY use a PC for PC related stuff, other than going on the net?

If, like Nick, you use it for work, then you'll probably buy what you know is good, reliable and stable, and using it for your own work you can invest better. But for Mr Average Windows is what will sell, simply because it's everywhere and almost everything you buy will work on it!

Fact of life whether you like it or not, it sells well, because Mr Gates has cornered most of the market (or at least on most High Street sales anyway)

 

Anyway this thread started off because I said I liked it, and to be honest I really do so far. For me it does exactly what it says on the tin!

i might think about trying it later on, but i'll definately wait until a service pack comes out for it - hopefully fixing bugs and glitches reported by the users. I migrated from '95 straight to XP - i much prefer the simple no-nonsense approach. i hated using '98 with a passion!
