Tab, he's just another bent Linux geek.. I've got a mate who is aswell, they're a special breed..

fwiw, I dropped Vista on a Raptor and it's bloody quick.. I'm back on XP coz it still does some things Vista won't and it's a pain swapping and changing.. I'll go back to Vista though, when it's a bit better sorted and those DX10 cards drop a heap of coin!!!

I think Vista is ok, but agreed, there are no drivers for some apps and I hate WM11 taking over my sharing etc..

"Not ready for Prime Time".. lol.. What is on it's first Rlz??

My two cents...

Its pretty, and maybe a little bit of wank ( wow factor ) but it runs slow on anything other than the newest hardware ( dual core + 2gig boxes).

I ran the beta's ( and yes I know they are slower due to the debugging code) and then I ran RC1.

I agree with the comment to wait till the first major service Pack comes out..

in the mean time if you like the look go and install window blinds

here

and install the aero skin, looks like you have vista when you dont...

ha ha. I haven't used Linux in 5 years and have no intention of using it again.

Vista loads faster than XP and runs one or to apps faster, but many run upto 40% slower. There are no drivers for even simple peripherals like logitech mice yet.

If anybody can see $12billion US worth of improvement over XP spell it out loud and clear.

First release. So after 6 years of development you still think it's a first release and still should be unfinished. it's pretty pathetic that you should wait for nearly 12 months before the SP1 comes out to have complete driver support.

There is ZERO reason to upgrade to this product this year, unless you really want to play Crysis or Unreal 3 and that's deliberate cynical ploy by Microsoft to force upgrade, given how big gaming is today.

I'm sure after SP1 is released it will be a decent product and driver improvements will see it's performance increase a lot, but it still has no compelling reason to demand an upgrade to it, unless you enjoy DRM.

Stuff vista, get a mac :spoton:

Yeah....get a mac and run Mac OS X (which is about 3 years ahead of Vista anyway with a new Mac OS 10.5 coming very soon) or Windows. One computer, many operating systems.

Best choice in computing...APPLE MAC

I agree, it is the best choice if you happen to be a yuppie chick that is only interested in shiny things :stirthepot::spit:

if it wasn't for the IPod the only apple you would be buying today would be the fruit kind. but you mac lovers can continue to justify your overpriced boat anchors all you like, its almost as amusing as the smear ads that apple have been running lately :msm:
