I really like Vista. I have a shit ton of ram and a core two duo....but I think it runs smoother and like rick said is much better at recovering it's stride after a stumble.

 

So it's like a fat kid that doesn't trip? Still won't win him the race.

 

1GB is more than enough and if you aren't even using vista who gives a shit?

 

says you. more like a marathon runner.

 

i had 2x512 and upgraded to 2x1024

it cost me an extra 150 bucks :dunno: big deal...

 

that doesn't even make sense...

 

i have a vista cd, but haven't installed it yet. kinda skeptic because of all the dividing opinions on it. i'll wait a little longer before i change.

 

I have too much shit that doesn't run on Vista yet.....not worth the trip right now.

When using Vista....it's highly recommended that you upgrade your PC....see reasons above. I have no problems using Vista on the workstations at work, but as stated.....most of our applications are home grown so Vista will have to wait.

 

I think the biggest problem is that there's no reason for most people to upgrade to Vista, whereas the 95->98 and 98->XP upgrades were very useful. I can do everything that I want on XP, I don't need to upgrade my pc to run it, and my XP system is rock-solid stable. I keep a pretty trim system and I can't remember it ever crashing on me.

What can I do in Vista that I can't do in XP? Play Halo 2? See through my icons? Woopee.

I think that in a couple of years Vista will finally mature (after Service Pack 1 maybe?) and I'll upgrade. But there will have to be games or programs I want to run that won't run on XP before that'll happen.

 

this is a more reasonable reason than the typical vista haters. i had no reason to upgrade myself but the dell came with vista.
