Guest Cosinus Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'll upgrade to Vista when I buy my next computer or when they've released SP1 to it, it's most surely filled with security holes at the moment so it's not worth risking your files etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam892005 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I recently got a new lappy for ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã900, it had 136GB of RAM, HD(High-def) & Windows Vista Home Premium. Four reasons Vista is better than XP (there is more reasons however): 1) It's very easy to use. 2) Looks great. 3) Most things work on it. 4) Great security. Two things wrong with it: 1) It's still a bit buggy. 2) Microsoft keep sending me updates that are meant for XP users. (Eh? Anyone else get this?) Returned 10/03/2010 after a two year break.

Parabola Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 3) Most things work on it. How is that a reason that it's better than XP? MOST things work with it, that means SOME things don't. Some things which DO work with XP. So, all these things do work with XP but some don't work with vista. Ergo vista is not better in that respect. It is a reason it is worse at this stage.

coltm4carbine Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Two things wrong with it: 1) It's still a bit buggy. 2) Microsoft keep sending me updates that are meant for XP users. (Eh? Anyone else get this?) 1) What bugs have you encountered? 2) No, never happened to me. What updates are you talking about? @Parabola Most of the programs you mentioned works, since I use most of them without any problems. Not sure about "The Proxomitron" though.

blade995 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Can anyone who uses vista inform me of program compatibility? Some programs I rely on: VLC Winamp tried and had problems Firefox works uTorrent Daemon Tools works Trillian 3 Pro Samurize Motherboard Monitor GrabIT Photoshop CS works Thunderbird works Process Explorer The Proxomitron Logitech Setpoint works Irfanview Picasa Well my answers are the bolded part of stuff I have tried or I am using. Winamp may work now, I tried 3 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabola Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I was a bit concerned about Daemon Tools because I remember that had big problems with XP Pro x64. I'm also concerned about Samurize and MBM since they're both very important to me and they both rely heavily on low-level OS dooberries. Not sure about "The Proxomitron" though. It's a discontinued http filter that is a very powerful ad-blocker. I could potentially stop using it now there are decent FF addons to deal with things like that, Adblock, hosts files and so on. None of this is that big a deal anyway, since I will first be installing it on my secondary machine to see how things go for some months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
