Windows Vista: Choosing the right one for you

yeah it is all eye candy, but i still love it

Don't get caught up in Microsoft marketing. If it was any good, or better, that fact would be posted on every computer magazine and website.

yeah, and because it isn't posted on every magazine and website, that means its crap

xp was crap when it first came out

Love XP

I loved everything about XP when it first came out, still do!
Its the best operating system in history in my opinion

i use vista ultimate on my gaming rig, i got better 3Dmarks in Vista than XP but vista uses more CPU cycles and more ram to do the same things xp used to do. But i threw 2 gigs of ram in and im 100%satisfied, just minor issues here and there with vista.

Will Vista perform at it's best with Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86 1066 & 1GB 800Mhz & Intel onboard X3000 grafix card ? Do I have to have more than 1GB Mem ?

Should perform fine with that set up Chamika. You don't have to have more that 1 GB, but I would recommend 2. What you ask is almost identical to my laptop set up and it ran fine with 1 GB after initial purchase. But better with 2.

Hi, i'm new,.
I would choose basic,only because it's cheap,but I would prefer premium. Frend has it.- and i like vista for the win tab.,or windows areo effect.

Halo71, Thanks for your information.

An ADM cpu is nice.

Very valid point. When XP first came out I hated it. Everything about it. Then... I started using it, and I stopped hating it. Lol

I dislike Vista though, I've heard far too many bad things about it with privacy issues and the like.

Vista Ultimate all the way Baby!
My Pc Handles that **** and its cool with me!

thank you for the info man

Dont Listen to People! i Used to hear all kind of **** about Vista before gettin it! Like: Your Drives Wont Work! , Your Internet will be like ****! ..etc..etc!

But All of the things they sed were exactly the oppsite!
When i Put Vista on my PC, I Didnt Need Any drivers At All! EVen For GFX Card!
I even didnt need them for my Mobile Device!

My Advice for you get Vista if your pc can handle it! ....

Thanks Face of LA,
I'm having Intel Core 2 Duo 1.86 + DDR2 800 1GB. Any advises about my hardware..???

Yeah, Vista is trying to do what Mac does and just cant! lol
I'll stay with XP for now.

I've tested vista all the way from RC1 up to the RTM, and it's pretty good as an OS.
The actual thing is pretty stable.
You have to have the specs for it though. Otherwise it'll lag you down.

My new laptop is going to have Vista Ultimate on it.
I like vista personally. It does well with video, on average.
There ARE some bugs still.
However, compared with when XP first came into being, I was able to solve vista problems 90% faster than when XP came out.

Why spend money for ultimate? Cause I'm an OCD person that is obsessed with making it so people can't get into my stuff. And if I'll ever settle for less than the top in software, the world will probably implode.

business

I ve got vista business and im happy. No multimedia functions - its not necessary!

I just installed Vista Home Premium on 2 systems. All went well on the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 systems. I will disable the UAC soon! This User Account Control is a real pain to say the least. Windows Media Center is part of Vista Home Premium, but I chose Nero 8 for those multimedia duties
