Reputation: +9/-0 Offline Posts: 728	Actually, I have never been the guy to stick to old operating systems. I have usually embraced new OS quite easily. (Well, except for Windows ME) I just never saw such a jump in system requirements as I've seen in Vista. Meh, your probably right. I probably give in at some point however, it'll be for a better reason than just a pretty face. Logged

Good looks and sexy features, describes every OS release. ME and 2000 were sort of transitionary OS' though, weren't they? You could easily argue the last stable rock they had to jump from was 98. ME was compatible with tons of things but easily crashed, and 2000 was stable as hell but there were serious limitations on compatibility. I've got a few questions about it since the main descriptions I've heard of it is that it's just WinXP slowly transforming into Mac OSX in appearance and sleekness. First of all, can you elaborate on the secondary RAM thing? I only have 512Megs, it could quite possibly be corrupt, and this sounds like something that I've gotta look into. Secondly, I've heard computer startup from a cold boot is lightning fast, but only heard it from one person, so what's your experience? Third, how much more HD space did the upgrade take up? I'm running low on HD space as well, sadly, less than a gig on either of my two drives and I would probably have to burn a lot to DVD (or resize my gentoo partitions slightly) if upgrading takes a lot. 4 depends on if you got the 64 bit edition, if so does that hinder program compatibility or overall effect? Got more, but I'll save em for later. « Last Edit: April 12, 2007, 11:52:19 pm by gildedlink » Logged

I've tried vista and it was decent. I was running it on my laptop, 40 gigs of HD space 15 gigs of that free. 768 Megabytes of RAM and a very, very weak graphics card. It ran pretty smoothly. I didn't use Home Premium, though it was Home Basic. I only wanted to try it out without the eyecandy. Plus my card blew up when I had home premium running. Although, on my desktop, home basic ran 100% fine. I know it had over 1 gig of ram, 2.5 ghz processor? I don't exactly remember specs offhand.

Honestly, Vista uses alot =/. I have heard about 64bit issues with Vista, you'd have to check the manufacturer website. Also, when you purchase Vista, it only comes with the 32bit version. You have to purchase the 64bit version from the internet. ReadyBoost rules, IMO. I can run MSN, WMP, 2 OoL clients and the server with no issues. The first time you run a program, it'll move it around somehow to make the next start time faster. Dont know how it works exactly. Just be sure to Defrag weekly. Logged

XP was mostly all niceties, and Vista is entirely niceties and leaks. Most new features of Vista have been available as additional software that is compatible with even 2k. And I personally find the new theme to look menacing with the dark blue and green. Logged

You just described every Apple product in existance.

Got an iPod? Download a multi-boot loader, ipod linux, and rockbox. Well, if you have rockbox (Built in GBC emulator! PLAY POKEMON ON YOUR iPOD!) you'll barely use ipod linux, but...

Got a Mac? Try to multi-OS it and get XP (and maybe Linux) to work on it! I know it's taking two opposing forces, and a middle-runner, to work together, but it'll be bloody worth it!

In short, Apple = bad. Apple + Hacks = good.
