March 15, 200719 yr Author I do know that firefox works on Vista, I used the beta and firefox worked.
March 15, 200719 yr 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.
March 15, 200719 yr 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.
March 15, 200719 yr 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.
March 15, 200719 yr 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.
March 15, 200719 yr 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.
March 15, 200719 yr 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.
March 18, 200719 yr I think I'm going to upgrade this fall, after the price has fallen some. :D THE GREAT RACE TO 99 FM! "Do or do not, there is no try"-Yoda
March 18, 200719 yr Author Clever Internet Users can get it for free, but it sucks.:( I agree. You can get it for free, but it is a hastle. Ill stay with my free media center editon :-w
March 22, 200719 yr anybody know how to get into Qbasic from Vista? I know in XP you just need to type in "qbasic" into the run comand box but in Vista it doesn't work. Did it even come with Vista?
March 23, 200719 yr viruses are no problem- xp or vista. as long as you set up your computer right and are causious what you do you will never have a PROBLEM with a virus. not to get people confused- i dont have vista. just pointing out it wouldnt matter 1707th to 99 hunter starting 99 fm soon
