MGadAllah Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 I am still using XP with SP3 ... maybe in one or two years I may do the change as XP do every thing I need. Quote
runningfool Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 theres nothing vista does that xp cant do faster and with fewer resources. i tried vista for awhile, and will never use it again. and going by what ive seen of windows 7, i may be sticking with xp for quite awhile...xp x64. Quote
NIM Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 I'm using Vista Ultimate x64 and I'm pretty satisfied with it. But I agree with runningfool that XP runs much smoother than Vista. Quote
MGadAllah Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 For me XP is the best one especially the hardware issues and some software of course. Quote
cygnus Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 My new laptop came with Vista and I like it, other than the odd slow down and what not, I'm happy with it. XP definitely does run much better than Vista.I run XP on my torrent pc (soon to be defunct with higher internet prices, might lose my net) and my EeePC. Ubuntu is on my file server. Quote

cygnus Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Depends on what you expect from the system. I don't expect my system to start instantaneous like I use to lol Quote
MrNxDmX Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I have switched to vista ultimate months ago, and i like it much. Cant use xp anymore I agree with runningfool, xp runs smoother than vista. But I love new gui and new features of course. There are tons of new enchancements.Also I've switched cos my machine can run it better now. On my old machine i was using xp, vista was slowing it much. Quote
Jonnyboy Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I've tried Vista x86 and x64, Server 200(3)(8) x86 and x64 and XP. x64 versions have too many driver issues and Vista has too many quirks that can't be explained away. I don't need all the pretty graphics stuff, it just slows everything else down. When I click the mouse, I like something to happen, not wait a bit, then it happens. I like stable, I don't mind rebooting every couple of weeks, but hate doing a few times a day.If I could do everything that I can do in XP, in Linux, I'd be using Linux. But, it's still not compatible with most stuff. But, it runs great - uptime in the months. Quote

I don't expect my system to start instantaneous like I use to lolTrue and I think any normal or average computer may fits what I used to do as I do not play games and do not work with graphics.Also this is one of the main reason that I am not going to switch to vista:1- I can still do what so ever I may need to do with XP.2- I will have to do a major upgrade to my computer which means more money that is really not need or will not affect what I used to do.I am just using Internet, browsing, downloading, Office, check emails ...etc. and sometime with photo shop and some programming.Nothing more nothing less Quote
