i have windows vista. its not a bad program. its all the soft ware has not caught up with it yet. dont worry in no time it will catch up :)

Hey brah,
I run Vista as well, there are alotta tweak out there that make any Win 98, Win Xp run on Vista, i don't care what it is, if you need to know more PM me.

Hey Dayv,, do you know how vista works with PC gaming

ie: world of war craft

war craft not sure ... i know the old doom will not work on mine only beacu se i have a 64 bit proscer(spelling). with windows vista64 home priuem. (sp.
now the new doom 3 will work on it. so checked to see when war craft came out. if it was in the last few yers it should work.

Awwwwwww thanks a bunch

only prob I have had with vista is it is kinda slow on games...you have to have maximum ram to do it. anything lesss than 2 gig is not enough

much appreciated

i had one gig on here. and had no problems with it. i just put some more. but have played any games i can tell u this it runs super fast now lol

not ^ to add to the last post i made

I'm not buy a new computer until Vista has all the tweaks worked out. I think it's unforunate that any new computer you buy has Vista on it and you don't get to choose whether you want it or not! It's just not fair!

Well my sons comp has 2 gigs just concerned if I go to vista will the game work,,, thanks all

yeah vista is cool.... the programs generally take 6 months to a year to catch up to the new OS. so dont sweat it.. and look for a patch from your WOW server for the vista OS.

Awwwwwwwwww thanks a bunch,, should have thought of that one myself,, hmmmmmmmmmmm old age

i know it gets on ur skin lol.. i cant get my printer to work but thats only because lenmark has not updated the driver for that model... but i wil just save buy a new one soon...

ahh i'd wait on vista for awhile. it's sooooo slow..
sooooo horrible

i crashed the vista at walmart on display just by using windows explorer.

I will never own a vista computer. ever.
XD

Id rather.. have windows ME.

I run World of Warcraft on it fine. No problems here and I've only had it for a week.

Once again linux rules.

Old Games:

I have had a lot of problems getting OLDER windows games to work under vista. A few months ago I found a bunch of old games on a hard drive I was cleaning up, and tried to play them on a dual boot vista/LinuxMint machine.

I agree with DayV - if you want it badly enough, you should be able to get almost anything to run, even if it means downloading an emulator. But Vista was a serious pain in the ass, and what I found via google for some of the games was "it won't work". (Which I don't believe, but it shows that other's had as much trouble as I did).

With LinuxMint i just copied'n'pasted some command line instructions off the net and was up and running those games within seconds.

Speed:

As far as speed the speed of Vista, different people have different expectations. I'm always amazed by the slow crawl that many windows users view as 'acceptable' or 'fast' - but what can you expect after the entire history of microsoft releasing inefficient, bloated software and expecting users to just pay for hardware upgrades??

When I was shopping for a new computer, i looked at over 2 dozen laptops priced under $1,000 at several stores, NONE of them ran vista at remotely acceptable speed. ALL of those I tested ran Ubuntu like lightening, and thats off a live-cd vs hard drive.

A lot of people agree with you - a lot of people would rather have bought their new computer preloaded with XP during early 2007, but had little choice.

Well actually that is not true, it depends on your rig, Vista runs alotta resources, On my Machine (Alienware Area 51 7500 4 Gigs) Vista runs faster and more stable than XP for me.

Must be nice.
