Now that Vista is finally on its way (?) can anyone help me with the question.
Will it work basically the same as XP, but with its fancy front end ?
By that I mean
1 Will most of the apps we all love and use run on it ?
2 Will a lot of what we know about XP apply to Vista, eg I am making notes on start up files, processes and services etc, will most of these still be in Vista ?
Kind Regards

Imo stay unless you're a masochist.
Think VistaME but worse.
Ive just installed vista rc 2 and it rocks . ALL of my stuff works , thats nero 7, newzleecher, my old hp officejet printer. Im gonna try some games in a mo too. Use trends pc cillin for the antivirus. The only peripherals that are not working is my webcam , and my old tv tuner card . Think i can live without those.
Try it yourself , itl be good to reformat your system once in a while anyway.
Aren't they going to implement DRM technology into Vista?
yeah, it looks nice but from what ive seen xp is better if you wanna play games without having the os hog all the RAM....
Just installed just cause pc game , installed smooth , and by the numbers . playin it now , runs great. Im running the 64 bit version too. Im not having any issues at all , so ill leave it on.
i think we'll know as much of Vista as we knew of XP when we upgraded from 98.
i was one of the last to upgrade to xp, did it 2 years after it was released. i was a 98-hardcore-tweaker by then :P
i think i'll install vista by the end of 2009...
Vista was a total new experience for me. Is fast it backward compatible with most of the software and hardware I use (problem with webcam also) and it just been a week. I m amazed every day and I hope it will stay like these. As for updating I will be doing it on the first day. Is been 5 years and I need a change.
Not all will work but from next year almost every app will work
comptability will be improver of course
but till that XP will be nice
