Windows Vista Experience

Just out of curiosity, how would you rate your overall Vista experience. Be sure to include your system details.

Re: Windows Vista Experience

By far the best Windows OS I have used.

3.1 Just a fancy file management system.
95 What can you say. Didn't have much you could do, but much improvement.
98 was good. but thats all.
ME was a Joke and should have never been released.
2000 would take 2nd place for me but harder for the novice to use.
XP Was nice, but seemed like you are always fixing and changing.
Vista, different gui and options are in different areas but overall a very nice OS.

Re: Windows Vista Experience

Dell E521 AMD dual core 64bit 2 gig of ddr667 ram. Home premium
HP laptop dual core 1 gig of ddr667 ram. Home basic

Vista on both of them has worked just fine. I got the memory boosted on both so Vista has plenty of room.

Re: Windows Vista Experience

It was decent. A bit resource hungry and still has some flaws but in time it will be great. For now I prefer XP.

Re: Windows Vista Experience

It's great. All machines I ran on, and now my laptop (All on a gig or more), it runs good. Personally, I'm used to XP, but Vista now seems to cope with my stuff. I run on a single core AMD 64 with 3 DVD burners and nothing is left out. Just....TOO MANY DANG PROCESSES!

Re: Windows Vista Experience

not that great. Haven't installed it on my own pc but I've tried it several times on other computers and I just don't like it. (tried only home basic and ultimate) For one I really don't see any reason I should move to vista, maybe dx10 but that is just microsofts way of trying to force me to buy vista, dx10 could be released on xp too if they would want to. Other than dx10 I really don't see any things that would be worth it.

Overall using vista felt really weird and clumsy, I find xp to be a lot better.
