This is completely wrong. Yes, Vista has a new interface, but if you look at it twice, you'll think it's just a new theme. You know, Vista transformation pack can make XP look like Vista. So, if you think Vista is nothing, you're completely fooled.

1. Vista's GUI is completely hardware accelerated. So it can demo all those nice graphical effects in a smoother manner, but this is not the important thing. You paid money for a video card right? What's the use of it if it is not used most of the times. You don't play video games 24/7, do you? As Vista's new interface is driven by the video card, it makes use of that idle video card and relieves the CPU from painting the GUI.

2. You paid for your RAM right? How much of your RAM is used by Windows XP? Maybe 500MB of 1GB? Why did you pay for that remaining 500MB if it's not used most of the times? With Vista, your RAM never goes unnoticed. I have 2GB RAM in my PC, and guess what? I have only 2-10MB left right now. It will cache everything it can, so things load faster than XP. The newly introduced feature called Superfetch will track what you do for about a week or so, and tune Vista to match that usage pattern. Vista is faster than XP in most of the times in general usage, but you have to give it some time. Unlike XP, Vista doesn't seem to degrade in performance after few weeks of usage.

3. Have you noticed certain programs you have had minimized for hours taking a considerable time to restore the Windows when you click on it? I mean, the redrawing of the Window of that program will take few seconds right? The only way you could solve this issue in XP was to remove the pagefile, stop paging of the kernel and tune the RAM for more system cache. But with Vista, you don't have that problem, mainly because of its native caching algorithms.

4. DirectX 10 is going to be awesome, but you will need a DX10 supported video card :( I have heard that the DX10 performance compared to DX9 is around 10 times. I can't believe this either, but we'll have to wait and see on this.

5. Security is a lot higher than that of XP. User Account Control will turn out to be a headache to a user who is used to work fast, and who uses the PC carefully. But for casual users, UAC will provided a higher layer of protection. Unlike XP, the administrators do not have all the previledges unless you disable UAC.

Anyway, I'm not saying Vista is perfect, and they have shred out some of the features originally planned for Vista. And there is the program incompatibilities and more importantly, lack of final versions of drivers. Vista is running stably for me. The only problems I have faced up to now in this particular setup are two explorer.exe hangs.

I wasn't talking about a specific one. I used a Fedora Core 5 (or was it 6? :rolleyes:) at SLT and it was much better (looking) than the one in those pics. But I have no idea about the kernel and those stuff.

Linux supports exes!!!:yes::yes::yes:
there is a little app called WINE.u can get it for the worlds best price as always..
It is mainly created for gaming as to make support for the games that require DirectX.Wine makes them go OpenGL..
It creates a folder in root program files,windows like folders and make those exes run..
70% of exes may run with it..
I use it..

Ubuntu is gr8 coz its absolutely free and be customizable upto a gr8 extent.
Edubuntu is good for beginners/schoolers as it contain lots of softwares in the CD
Linspire is free but not the tech support
Its 4 windows UI lovers..it gives the look of windows
SUSE has a gr8 UI ,It has those glass effects frm about an year,but dont need a 1GB ram,just 256 will do.But not so much quality..But u'll feel the gr8 graphics
Usually the Linux distros arent much fancy and do not hav cool names like my computer,my documents....bla bla bla...
but when u do ur work it will be much faster and easy for ya..

Never worry about virus or cracks
almost evrything is free
For the time being there were only 4 linux viruses that had somewhat effect 4 linux systems and within hours they were recovered..
Anusha will tell u about how much windows viruses there were as he is very much on security..

[themera]

Ok man this sounds a bit weird

Windows and security? Yeah, those two don't go together much. But if you add another guy into the story, then Windows is not that bad. Who's that other guy? Antivirus software? Antispyware? Please....:rolleyes: BRAIN! I can live without a virus guard without any problems, BUT it's not easy to stay clean from the viruses my friends bring with their hard drives and flash drives. If I stay clean of them, then I don't need an antivirus!

Anyway, I wonder why Linux hasn't developed as much as OSX. You know, both are based on the same UNIX code. :rolleyes:

[zCexVe]

Linux has been developing through its weakness,no Easy UI.
there r google mail groups for linux users now.
they have created sinhala ubuntu,sinhala for windows..
ppl over the world r creating new themes and uis for linux coz it isnt much frndly.
Anyway there isnt a lot in developing the kernal coz it is pretty much more than enough to handle things..
