XP, Vista, or 7?

[tdk08]

I know 7 is still in beta but all well

Sorry if there was a previous poll/thread already like this, just curious

Hey before the 7 beta came along I used it for a long time and i think it deserves to be there for giving users an alternative when Vista failed miserably

 

[DiamondNRG]

Vista did not fail miserably. I can't believe your " XP > Vista "

Name one legit way XP was better... There are none, it was slower and less secure, and wow that should be enough, not to mention it looks like POOP. I just worked on an XP machine tonight, YUCK!

Oh you poor soul, Microsoft has brainwashed you... lol One of the reasons I like XP is because it is much faster than Vista in all my experiences (maybe not if you have a screaming fast machine but I cant just blow $1000 to run Vista decently ) and Vista always managed to have a problem with any device i connected to it like everyone else says about the driver problems.

EDIT: But, I do have to give Vista credit for looking much better

Vista has been great for me and I haven't had any real problems but I definitely prefer windows 7, XP whats that!!

Go seven! I find Vista SUCKS. none of my games worked for it and none of my mics, headsets, mice, keyboards, and tablets worked. Half the time it crashed on a totally new 3000$ computer. (Which of course was stolen.) Xp was not as good in built in security as vista, but you could just fortify it with a bunch of free antivirus programs. You can also make Xp look JUST LIKE VISTA and use ALL the new features of vista with only a little more cpu usage. Vista was a failure and MS is makeing up for that with seven.

while i admit it didnt have a good launch.....

a computer for that price should be at least be able to use vista....

it must have been malware or something but vista dosent reserve the bad rap it gets

(the story on the vista capable fiasco is another story as this is cleary MS at fault and wishfull thinking for some consumers...)

vista is wonderfull on a capable machine and is very usefull depending on the hardware you use....
(i have serviced a few computers and i see this all the time where the user thinks that their OEM computer running vista is just so slow while in fact it is all the things OEM's shove in their machines....

once their machines are cleaned of these apps and installed freeware apps they think they see a whole different computer...)

(i myself use many operating systems and the first mistake is to abide by one single company/OS....)

i swear one more thing about this xp is better than vista

i will put it as my sig....

"vista is marketed for everyone but vista is not for everyone"

"vista is not as bad as people think"

The Admin of this site also run the Vista forums and most of the long term members of this site including myself are also members of that forum and beleive it or not most of us like Vista.

Nope - my first vote goes to Gentoo 2008.1 r2 AMD64.....

Yes ... go to your room naughty boy.

Sadist - wait, mini-sadist!

what about SUSE???

Pfft. Gentoo, baby, Gentoo

(OK, I'll stop the *nix fanoboyism right here and right now - but I really *do* love Gentoo over other flavors....

Yup - I preferred Vista over XP because I had decent enough HW to run it, and it ran better on legacy hardware than XP did on legacy hardware - I ran XP on a Pentium 200 MHz machine amped up with 96 MB of RAM _ no go, it was slow as molasses.

I ran Vista on a P4 2.0 GHz CPU with an MX 440 video card and 1 GB of RAM - Other than aero it ran slower, but not as slow as XP on that Pentium 200.

Plus, Vista took out a need for major anti-intrusion software, the 17 layers of hell as I call it - you start adding all those in there and XP runs a lot slower. Finally, compare apples to oranges - I am pretty positive that this is probably only the second time that a newer OS version runs faster than its predecessor *on identical machines* _ newer OSs tend to have more code and thus tend to run slower, at least until we started introducing multiple core processors to the end user (think during the tail end of XP's shelf life). W7 takes all the good security and and features and tweaks them into better features and adds a good bit of speed - but it is a lot more rock solid than Vista x64 was when I was installing drivers and such....

Overall, I loved Vista - until I installed W7 and played with it the first time.
