Why are you currently using Vista?

What made you decide to use Vista over XP (or any other OS)? Was Vista installed on your PC when you bought it or did you upgrade?

For me it was simple. I always want the latest OS software and so I installed Vista as soon as it was beta and went from there. Because of the hardware problems though I went back and forth to XP and Vista.

It was not until I realised that XP does not support 4GB RAM that I realised that I had no choice but to use Vista if I upgraded my laptop. I now have 4GB RAM and Vista and have not looked back since :)

What made you choose Vista?

Take care.

Ian

Well I've always been a Windows guy, when I bought my laptop it came with it (Home Premium ) I dislike it a bit, knowing I could have more I decided to install the Ultimate version x64, then a Desktop PC was given to me [my friend kept on complaining about hi PC so he gave to me :)] so I did the same thing fresh installed Vista Ultimate x64 and I love it, they have been working very good (only my PC has crashed a couple of times but I know the reason...) I never really had major problems, "if you want to get the best out of your PC, then do a fresh install of the OS, specially with HP, they jam your PC with useless junk..."; ▶ Reply to This

- I have no problems with Vista, but i think that i could get more out of xp.

Laziness ftw.; ▶ Reply to This

But I ran Windows ME with no trouble. I'm running Vista with no trouble, as I can make any operating system bend to my wishes. That why I'm a Geek, I don't need to ask anyone how to fix things they all ask me. Geeky, Geeky and proud of it.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm working with Microsoft to try to resolve this issue but so far the EXPERTS are not having much luck. FYI, Microsoft offers free tech support for any issues that prevent you from installing security updates. Many don't know this and suffer running a crippled PC that is more at risk of getting infected. I'm open to suggestions on how to get Windows Update to work on my PC.; ▶ Reply to This

When you install Vista SP2 you Sys info will now show the true amount of installed ram but only 3GBs of ram and that includes all the Ram on your system including cache, video etc. You need to be running Vista 64bit to get full use of the ram installed on your system.; ▶ Reply to This

Apparently, some people expect a PERFECT O.S with no problems at all, and when the go to Vista and spot the slightest problem, it's all of a sudden WORST O.S IN THE WORLD! So yeah, though yeah, I admit I don't like how some programs don't run as they are supposed to when running as an administrator, and its limitations on each version, but overall, I find it a very good O.S with a lot of potential in becoming a next generation system.; ▶ Reply to This
