XP v. Vista

[mayhemInc]

I've been running Vista for like 10 months, but then I switched back to XP. At first I liked the new look and everything. But the copying of files was killing me. As the system got older, i went from bad the worse...I reinstalled the OS a couple of times, but the same problem occurred after some weeks.
I thought, that something wasn't right with my harddrives, and then i installed XP. And it is FAST as hell.

I will wait for the Service Pack 1 for Vista to arrive and see if there are some improvements to my problems.
But I'm running XP now with the Vista Inspirat 2 Visual Theme Pack and enjoy the Look of Vista and the speed of XP And on top of that my games run a lot faster now...no coincidence here i guess

Well that was a headache,
switched it to xp
feel safer, lighter now

although i will miss a few of the niceties about it.
- the auto focus thing on left side of explorer
- the rename file feature
- windowsbutton X
- find target in context menu (found one for xp here)
- that it was a legal version + updates.

Damn you vista

At the moment Vista is just for eye candy, there is really nothing stunning about it. SP1 was meant to rescue some of the features but it hasn't got a good review yet.

AS I've said earlier. Vista is kinda Office-ish, rarely used and maintained.
Use XP if you've one stable PC, and Vista if more than one.

I get the "I should try it again" bug and decide to do a re-install and figure let me give Vista another shot, the longest I kept it thus far was a week and I couldn't take it anymore. Thanks for the specs to go with my "Vista just sucks" speech. I guess Vista will become the Windows2K it'll just linger around for a while until 7 comes out, meanwhile M$ just keeps pumping it out on new machines to make even more money.

Windows 2000 is the finest OS that Windows has put out - Period.
