why? it's had its turn, service pack 1 has now come on for vista, xp - though a great os - now looks dated - however, there are tricks to make xp look like vista but why not just go for the real thing?

I have never seen the word 'Mac' coming by so often as in the comments blow the article...
That can't be what Microsoft intended?

Get off the slow train and get yourself Vista.

I've had it for a few months now and no problems. Esp now that SP1 is out, it runs smooth as charm and hasn't crashed ever.

Way more interesting things with it too. The Sidebar stuff alone is worth it.

It causes problems with the game Civilization IV, I believe.

And then vista is designed upon it, what do you think?

Like you I know of people who have had no problems with it, and also I know 99% who switched to XP immediately, The ones who could not, because their PC has no XP driver support, are still using it, but they regret they changed it.

Me Myself used it for 2 Weeks, and now I am using Ubuntu Linux, I think it is great for being a free software, if you are curious just type Vista vs Ubuntu in Youtube and you will see some video demonstrations.

PS. You can use the sidebar in XP also.

Because I know more people who had major problems with it, than people who are completely happy with it...

If SP1 proves that it 'fixes' Vista, I may consider it.
For now I'm still only using, installing and consulting clients to only get XP.

shouldn't base you opinion on old information.

Vista gets improved every day, and every day it gets that much better than XP. Most of the issues that occured were when Vista first got released. They been fixed now.

Doesn't anyone remember how crappy XP was before its SP1 was released?? It was only after SP2 came out that it became a sollid OS.

But it's old and clunky. XP's days are limited and support from MS will be cut off in the next few years. In 2 years everyone who paid for XP will be wishing they had bought Vista instead.

Bull. XP was a hit from day 1, a 100% improvement over 98 and ME. Sure, there are always issues with a new released OS, but XP worked perfectly for many, many users from day 1.

At the moment, if you're not a gamer who needs DX10, it is the still the best OS for the average user ever, even better than any falvour Linux can dish up.
I will stick with it until I'm completely sure all Vista's problems have been ironed out, and so will all my clients...

I still can't get my headphones to work, and they're Microsoft ones aswell. I heard that it's because i have too many memory sticks, and this causes USB issues with Vista.


Crysis kicks ass though 😛
