Are you using Windows Vista?

If so, tell us what do you think of it?

Ballstein · 01-31-2007, 03:49 PM

i wasnt too interested in Vista or any updates for now

Blagol · 01-31-2007, 07:07 PM

I do not think I will install Vista anytime soon.

I was using it, but the gaming performance is horrible at the moment. I'll reinstall it when some drivers come out that can match the performance of XP, which will probably be a few months.

Well, i did use it in beta liked it, and i do planning on installing it on the weekend (upgrade actually not a fresh install) But i'll see what happens with the games/performance

I don't but one somebody at my college does.
He keeps getting bluescreens because of driver incompatibilities.
At least NVidia inbetween upgraded their drivers.
That reduced the bluescreening.

I don't plan to install it while it's in it's childhood shoes.
Same for Win XP. I switched from 98SE to XP Pro 1 year after release.

I yet don't have a reason to update anyway.
I might do that when I get crysis (if it runs smoother on Vista)

Let me tell you it sucks. It eats 400 megs of ram on first boot. It is like trying to drive a tank w/o an engine! It runs smooth if the system was a clean install, DO NOT UPGRADE UNLESS YOU WANT TO KILL YOUR COMPUTER. Basically Microsoft ripped off everyone else's main ideas (see [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) and marketed them as their own. Its 'security' features just get in the way of an intelligent user. Overall, I am thoroughly unimpressed. (See [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]). Also, if you insist on downgrading to vista, get the ultimate version or none at all, and for the love of all that isn't Microsoft, make sure you have at least a gig of ram!

Thanks for the video link.
I found another one on youtube: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I'm disappointed from that.
