Is moving to VISTA worthwhile?

Of course for us using pirate copies, it's just a matter of time, installing and re-installing, but when it come to buying, I don't think VISTA offers much than XP! Even microsoft released VISTA after taking a hell lot of time, it seems like they've not done a superb job!

Cheers XP! you aren't going to be wiped off soon!

Didn't you buy your "new" PC to run Vista? :confused:

Anyway, the troubles you are having are due to
1. nVidia's crappy drivers
2. less patience

I'm not sure about this... but I heard (from a very reliable source) Vista still got issues with JAVA!!!

[lasanka]

perhaps i shall keep my transition to vista off for a while hehe

You know, there are certain PIIIs faster than PIVs. (1.4GHz PIII vs. 1.4-1.8GHz PIV)

It's slow!!!!

Programming is easy though.

[sri_lion]

It's slow!!!!

Programming is easy though.

Well... I'm not gonna argue with you over JAVA's capabilities because

1. This is not a JAVA thread
2. It's already been proven how effective JAVA is

But the fact is as you know JAVA can run on any OS not just Windows....

and Vista is not helping them selves by not supporting the No:1 Programming Language of the world!!!

Anyway........I'll leave it to you to determine who's crappy!!:rolleyes:

[tckrockz]

Hello,

Moving to Vista is a great idea. But make sure first you fullfill the prerequisites. Secondly check your migration from XP to Vista is worthwhile. If you are a developer, best recomendation is to adapt to Vista while having XP (2 PC's). Anywyas Vista is a great work by Microsoft. We appreciate open source development as well. But starting from Vista and moving along with year 2007, many find it difficult to pirate the latest products. Although you many find Vista on Unity at DVD range, they are the Beta release and you can not no longer use them. Also don't plan to rely on a pirate copy (if and only if it's available). Using pirates will give you nothing. But buying original is costly. So wise advice is to remain in XP, untill you are comfortable to trnasit to the Aero built Vista!.

Happy Vista!

[Anusha]

The problem is not with Vista. The problem is with the drivers.

Microsoft had to ask the device driver programmers to change the driver model to WDDM to get the DirectX accelerated GUI running + get things ready for DX10. So you can't blame MS either.

What about you? Are you using Vista?

[11111111]

What about you? Are you using Vista?

Yes, currently enjoying Vista. It's a good experience. But costs both software and hardware to implement.

[fazaal24]

i love Vista......though its pirated

Do you have a legitimate copy? I mean, you are telling all of us to buy them. You should be using one too. :rolleyes:

[chamithal]

If I had to buy windows, I don't think I could spend more than Rs.15,000 to 20,000...
But still, Vista Ultimate is about Rs.40,000...

Talking the truth, if the laws get strict on s/w piracy n we couldn't use pirate versions, I'll go open source (linux, open office, etc...)

Oook! Now it has been some time since I originally posted this thread... I was in VIsta... Yeah it's cool! I also was in open-source... at first it was so cool! but then I felt tht it sucks... Now I'm back in XP... Many reasons...

1.) Vista isn't compatible with most of the s/w (even new versions of some s/w)
2.) Vista adds too much control over the user
3.) XP is simple + it works
4.) XP is much more customizable
5.) XP takes less space in ma HDD

So... I thought I'll stay back with XP Pro + June 2007 patch...
