Microsoft Gives Up On Vista

I am absolutely satisfied with my Vista Ultimate x64. BTW, I have 4 Giga RAm and an Intel Core2 Quad Q6600. In most cases people are just not willing to put the relevant hardware under Vista. And they bitch and moan if anything "bad" happens. Don't expect miracles!

I think much of the same way. Vista certainly was a push to up the ante on computer hardware. Call it progress.

There was a brilliant article somewhere in which they were saying that Vista SP1 is an epic fail, IBM recommended users not to upgrade etc., but later they revealed that it was a prank, in fact they just changed the appropriate words in an article about Windows XP SP2 from a few years earlier. Was quite amazing, too bad I don't remember where I've read it.

Not everybody lives in the future. 4GB RAM here would never be under €700

Yup, Vista will be "dead" in 2011 when Windows7 is released to the public.

I agree with neo Vista is better in some ways with the interface and esp. that nice little wireless diagnose feature.
But I would love to have Vista not eat so much ram, If you ever go game shopping you know what I mean.

I used vista for 8 months (like 3 installations) and I was not happy with it. I switched back to XP. The performance on XP is far superior to vista, and vista degrades MUCH faster than XP. BTW, I have an e6600 C2D @ 3GHz and 4 GB DDR2800 ram. Vista sucks all of it up so that there is no difference in performance from a P4 with 1GB.
