Vista

[Proper Bo]

I'd rather get opinions from people whose opinion I give a fuck about.

What do you think of it, is it worth me changing, I quite like XP Pro.

I like it, as far as using it goes there isn't really that much of a notable difference apart from how it looks rly. Tho' I do like the new search function in the start menu, it saves a lot of pissing about trying to find stuff.

The one thing I rly don't like about it is that you can't set a secondary monitor for fullscreen video playback, like you can in XP. You can set a secondary as a clone and watch it fullscreen that way but that's no good for fillum watching and interwebbing at the same time. Apparently that's cause of some ghey rights management thing in vista.

I don't think it's really worth fannying on installing it if your XP is still working fine but you may like to give it a try the next time your windaes needs a clean install, like.

I'd recommend you installed it on a spare hard disk or partition just to make sure your hardware works with it first, like. For example, my soundcard doesn't officially work with vista but I just ewesed the XP drivers and installed them in XP compatability mode.

Cheers.

I have a spare PC that's doing nowt at the moment. I'll probly put it on that when I restart it. I'll use Driver Magician to get the XP drivers first but, just in case I need to use them.

Barbie, Bo said you were a useless no-mark and told me to ignore you.

[Proper Bo]

I did not

I would have said he was a ewesless twunt.

fact.

It gives you a rating between 1-5.9 for your hardware, for performance, like.

Just to give you an idea of what hardware it requires, here's the rating it gives mine:


My processor is a 3.0ghz p4 and I've got 1gb of ram. It does seem to want ewe to have a superpwnage computer, though it does run perfectly fine for me.

[Barbarossa]

That's pretty good. My laptop which had vista pre-installed on it gives me an overall rating of 3.0

[Proper Bo]

Yeah but it just takes your lowest score and uses that. If it used the average then mine would be about 4.9.

edit: was that 3.0 for your graphics by any chance? don't most laptops come with grafficks cards wot are a bit shit?

[Mr JP Fugley]

Most come with graphics chips and shared memory rather than dedicated.

Well they did back in the day.
