so reviews on windows vista? i've read articles where people said they'd rather pay an extra $100 to have xp installed instead of getting windows vista for free.
as for me, i'm lacking a start button right now. i'd show you a screenshot of my start-buttonless task bar, but i can't get to paint. windows vista is also a audio memory hog so it takes me 10 hours straight to convert 400 songs. stubborn.gif

My brother's laptop has Vista. So far he hasn't had any problems since he hasn't tried to install any incomptaible programs on it. I think the interface looks really cool, but I wouldn't want it for my PC.

How are you lacking a start button? I love my Windows Vista... or maybe I just love that it is a new laptop.

You just need a decent PC to go along with it. I'll admit, if you're not going to be playing games with D10 then Vista just isn't worth it.

Overhyped, but no specific allure other than DX10. If you're not into gaming, what's the point? Shell out 200 bucks for what, really? A bubbly interface? To re-learn how to use your computer? I have yet to see the point.

In my opinion, I hate Windows Vista. I think it is the worst version of Windows to come out. It is so faulty and I run into so many problems with it. So I downgraded back to XP. I think it's horrible and Windows can do better.

But XP is probably the best version.
Windows tried too hard with Vista.
And they failed.

Vista is good as long as you have the computer to handle it.

The annoying thing about it is that it seems to safety obsessed and it asks you to verify starting up programs constantly. It has cool features, gadgets and gismos but it does somewhat slow you down.

I've had Vista, then switched back to XP. A friend of mine introduced me to Linux after my computer crashed for the second time in a year. My 3 year old laptop runs faster than most brand new Macs.

I heard Linux was pretty good but it's too much of a hassle to switch over and I like Windows XP a lot because I know almost everything there is to know about it.

I'm actually using Gentoo these days. If it moves, compile it!
