I've been using vista since January on my new Toshiba laptop and I have to admit I haven't had any of the problems you people are experiencing. I have no issue with the software but I will suggest making a wait before upgrading to vista oh and Firefox runs perfectly fine for me no problems there at all. Only on some sites (namely Facebook when I try and create/edit a gallery) do I have problems.
I'll get Vista when XP becomes officially useless.
I only started using Windows XP a year ago and I love her to bits. I think I'll move to Vista in another few (five?) years or so.
Installing Vista seems to be the issue I'm having but I might just have a dodgy copy *considers reburning the iso his Uni gave him...*
Ohhh it just occurred to me;
The mac adverts will love this!
Wonder how well pre-OSX software runs on todays MACs. Just a thought.
It doesn't. 8.6 was the last system to run all the old shizzle. Thank god my imac is 8.6 :pQuote:

Oh, and its kinda messed up the volume control, it does go from quiet to louder, but doesnt tell you how loud and how quiet, it just says its always on max. Other than that, It has never crashed my computer, its more efficient with programs. I mean, say when I try to convert files, or convert files on DVD etc. It takes only half the time on Vista that it would take on XP, big bonus points there. Vista's layout is alot better than XP, even if it copied Mac. Oh, and it looks puuuurrrty.
Im still not fond of Vista......or XP......or any Windows computer. Im getting a Macbook Pro as soon as I get the money. I have 2 Mac's in my house, a G4 and a G5. Both superior to Windows in almost every way, apart from gaming, which isnt important people!
it is when you only own a N64 :p and you do 95% of your gaming on your PC.Quote:

See? Windows at least tries to be backwards compatible.Quote:

Two pains: GRUB and LILO. :pQuote:

It sounds wonderful, you can keep your software forever! but it applies stagnation to the OS. After five years, it's usually time to reinvent the wheel, or at least refine it and make it roll better.
needing to repurchase the software is a silly idea anyways. People turn to open source for what they can't or aren't willing to pirate (at least in the public)
