2nd favorite version of Windows

[Mark]

Fair enough. I would've thought though, if games were your poison you'd still be on XP?

What advantage would I have with XP over Vista, does XP have DX10?

My games all run great on Vista, never had any issues and have great Frame rates.

Proven improvement in fps.

Hi,

For me , Vista does all I want it to do as well and as quickly as 7.

It boots quicker than 7, too.

I did modify it quite a bit - that's part of the fun.

Those same modifications are already included in 7, together with a few extra fancy bits, like Libraries - which are no use to me.

OOB, 7 will be preferable to most people for that reason.

Particularly useful to many will be the inclusion of Complete PC backup and Previous Versions, I believe they will be in the most widely used editions of 7 - they were only in the higher editions of Vista.

Although 3rd party disk imaging apps. and Shadow Explorer are even better, it is good they will be included.

Also of benefit to the average user will be the ability to create a recovery disc.

7 and Vista work equally well for me.

Yes they do for me as well, I just feel more at home with Vista

W7 does everything that vista does except better and faster, didn't think there was any disagreement about that. This is why I'm struggling to see things from your POV.

I m a home user and i do not have time to uninstall win 7 and install a fresh copy after the beta expires.
Moreover, for me, vista boots up faster than win 7. many softwares are still not compatible with windows 7. For ex: Superantispyware, Objectdock, etc.

I wish if i had the Add Infraction Button (we have it in Vista Forums), i would have awarded you with it.

Doesn't anyone remember OS/2?

Wow, feel the overly defensive hate from the Vista fanbois.

Hi Dinesh,

FYI Team members can hand out infractions.

Pooch - I know what you mean. I enjoyed modifying/tweaking Vista and learnt a lot doing it.

Most people don't want to modify or customize anything - except maybe pretty bits, like wallpapers.

They just want the o/s to do the job, straight out of the box - you'd be surprised how many people don't even know what o/s they have been using every day on their (usually) laptops.

Many people I speak to are interested in how their their laptop looks - shiny black ones seem to be popular now - they don't care at all about the o/s as long as it doesn't give them any grief.

For them 7 is easier.

Hi SIW2, i know it. But it will take some time for me to reach to the Seven Guru or SF Team. LOL..

Meh. Was true... in the early days. DX9 is is pretty equal between the two now. However I'm happy to trade a few fps for DX10

Wow, feel the overly defensive hate from the Vista fanbois.

lol, not really. We're just tired of hearing the same old "XP is good for these reasons" that aren't really valid any more. (or haven't been for quite a while now )

Doesn't anyone remember OS/2?

We do. It's just not Windows

 

[ikilledkenny]

OS/2 isn't Windows? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

[Barman58]

I remember OS/2 but it was more Doze than Win

Hey Pooch, there's a 3 character minimum in a post; if you need less than 3 change the font color to white.


All the charcters between here->...................<-and here are white.
