This is also true, I wasn't huge on XP at first either, but I don't think it's so bad now...maybe Vista will grow on me.

Me?  *cries*  Can we not talk about that abomination?  *cries some more*

I just got vista, I LOVE IT!

I have 3gb of ram and SP1 though, lol.

1. It looks cooler
2. It gives previews of your little windows, and looks sweet. Yeah, 1 and 2 are the same, lol.
3. It's easy to set default programs, ect.
4. Has cooler screensavers.
5. Better games.(comes with majong or however you spell it)
6. This might be my computer, but it doesn't ever crash or slow down(also upgraded PCs at the same time, to mega Squilliam PC, he doesn' know, but I bought that acer he recommended to me, 3ghz multicore ftfw!)?
7. Has direct X 10 or whatever.
8. I hear it's more secure
9. I don't use crap that would need to be compatible.
10. Search, and all those little features are better, imo

It's not the upgrade of the centuries, but I do like it a lot, if you got an extra gig of ram to run it.

The only problems I currently have that affect my gaming are these two frikken processes:
audiodg
bwm (or something like that)

All of the sudden for random reasons they will bump up to 30-70% CPU usage and my games slow down, even Warcraft III....

People likes to hate Windows Vista because most people doesn't have a powerful system to run it in a decent way.

I like Vista a lot more than XP.

It does the same, BUT, it looks way better, and have a lot of extra features that XP doesn't have.

The same thing happened with XP.

I swear, I remember people bitching about XP, saying that Windows 98 was the best version and complaining about XP driver compatibility.

I love Vista

hey cool I'm using vista 64 premium too. I had no problems installing it but I did have a problem getting MSN to work but looked up the internetz for a solution and found one..

Only problem right now is some of my older hardware from previous pc like scanner and video capture card don't have any drivers that support vista 64.. and even bypassing some of the account restriction crap I still can't get them to work so gonna buy some new stuff..

It annoys me when people say 'those who complain about Vista have never used it' or 'those who complain have crap computers'.

I've had Vista installed on this system of mine for a few weeks now on a 2 year old  system and I can openly and whole-heartedly say it's a horrible operating system. It just does so many things backwards, and to completely new PC users I don't see how it can be any more intuitive than XP, less so I think.

FYI, my rig is a Core2Duo (E6400 oc'd to 2.8GHz) with 2GB of RAM, a 7600GT (old card by today's standards but still a great budget card nonetheless). Why should I have to upgrade my computer to play games that run badly on Vista which ran perfectly on XP? I'm talking about most Source games here. 700-800MB of memory used on an idle desktop within just a week of running Vista, that's poor. It's an unnecessary resource hog.

As much as I'll slag Vista off, it's hardware detection and support is brilliant, but that's about all it has going for it.

ah well thats the problem with playing games on pc's... I just use my pc for apps and internet and consoles for game.

Well, I happen to love my copy of Vista, I haven't upgraded to SP1, yet. (Well, I did, but I downgraded it again because it caused conflicts with my graphics drivers).

Anyways, were was I? Oh yeah, stay outta my booze.

Statements like this make me giggle.
