Icedrake Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 XP Home SP3. I do have Vista, but I'm not installing it anytime soon. I don't like it that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capman Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I've got absolutely no problem with Vista, and don't know why other people are against it so much. Four of the computers in my house are running it, and all of them run fine and do what they are supposed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithuk Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) I have Win95B, Win95C, Win98SE, WinME, Win2k Pro, WinXP 2002 Pro SP2 and guess what I prefer? I've got absolutely no problem with Vista, and don't know why other people are against it so much. Vista is too memory hungry thats why you need a minimum of 2GB for it to run. Edit: Pro added.

Capman Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I know Vista is memory hungry, but with the price of RAM so cheap these days that shouldn't be an issue. Once Aero and UAC are turned off you could quite easily feel that you are using an XP system, but one that looks a little bit nicer. Too much hype about how bad Vista was has stuck in peoples minds. Edit: Oh and Keithuk, just noticed that you have not upgraded to SP3, that is bad computing in itself. You are leaving yourself open to all sorts of problems.

Icedrake Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm not saying that Vista is bad. Plus I can support it flawlessly, but I just don't like it that much. No particular reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had WinXP 2002 Pro SP2 installed I downloaded SP3 many times from many sources but when it tried to extract all files before installation why were corrupt. You have about every OS there is! No I missed out Windows 3.1 and I'm still using the best one Win98SE. Keith Windows XP 2002 SP3 IE 7.0 Martin2k Rorshach112 is the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Vista is too memory hungry thats why you need a minimum of 2GB for it to run. My mother has a 1 GB RAM laptop and Vista runs perfectly >_> And saying Win98 is the best OS is...well...Weird ? (And if all files from SP3 are corrupt, maybe you're using a bad zip extractor ?)

There is nothing weird about Win98SE only its 11 years old now. It does everything my WinXP did and more. I'm using WinZip like I've always used. Even running the downloaded exe still extracts all the files before it installs and they are still corrupted.

"it's only 11 years old" You know what Middle Age is, right ? I think saying Win98SE is in the computer Middle Age would be right. And using IE6 make all webmasters go crazy because they have to do sites working on an outdated, not standards-compliant browser, still used by ~ 1/5 of people.

And now Vista Home Premium SP1 on my new XPS430 with 4GB DDR3 RAM, Intel Core2 Quad processor Back in 1996 a PC with 16MB RAM, 950MB HD, Pentium 100 processor & Windows 95 was quite a zippy machine I was a bit apprehensive about getting Vista, however after using Vista for about a month now...

tcoffeep Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Arch Linux 2009 Fantasy is the celebration of what we no longer are: individuals certain of our meaningfulness in a meaningful world. The wish-fulfillment that distinguishes fantasy from other genres is not to be the all-conquering hero, but to live in a meaningful world. The fact that such worlds are enchanted worlds, worlds steeped in magic, simply demonstrates the severity of our contemporary crisis.Scott R. Bakker, Why Fantasy and Why Now?

Englander Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I dual boot Windows XP Professional and Vista Home Premium. I was anxious to install Vista as people said you need a quad core superHz make you toast in the morning processer with 5000TB of DDR80000 Ram to use it, and my Pentium 4 3.0GHz with 1.5GB of Ram runs it like it was made for it. I use XP for gaming though, Vista + ATi Drivers = FAIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
