And if he wants to install Vista for DX10 he will need a separate Video card, but later if his video card gave up he could always fall back to the On-Board video

And when you mention the newest generation I guess you mean the ones which is called Wolfdale, correct? I looked a little at this page: Intel Core 2 on Wikipedia.

Correct.

I moved to Vista x64 when it launched, noticed a huge performance boost when navigating around in windows, specially with several windows open, or in folders with lots of files.
And Dx10 rules

.

And no sign of the supposed incompatibility issues people talked about

I'll go to Vista someday
but now there're no Vista drivers for the hardwares I bought.

Make a new thread and perhaps we can help you

Windows XP SP3. I'm missing at least couple fps in every game when playing in Vista and that's not nice. I want to get all performance available so XP for me. In Assassin's Creed there's 10fps difference(Vista Ultimate 64 vs XP 32) which counts as 20fps vs 30fps<. I can't play with 20fps so no way I'm using Vista.

Excuse my blocky style of writing, I'm very tired.

I like the OS itself. It's faster for desktop use(...it doesn't mean XP is slow on desktop...) and more logical to me but I spent money on my pc for games

XP forever!
If I could run current games with a 50mb OS like Damn Small Linux then I would.

I just got Vista on my new PC and so far its great.

I have used it before and even now that I have it I see nothing wrong with it. I don't play many games and using firefox,aim,music,video's etc all seem to work and work well!

Markius · Jun 10, 2008, 05:22 AM

i voted yes, but its yes and no for me.
i have vista on laptop and xp on gaming machine

Ok I have used Vista for about a week now full time and I have to disagree with all these people saying that Vista blows. (not on driverheaven just in general)

The only problem that's not really a problem at all is that I had to run Teamspeak and Battlefield 2 in Admin mode for it to work online, but it was easy enough to not even care.

It runs my games fine and I am even on a laptop. It is SUPER STABLE. Sure some programs lock up but the fact that only the program does and not the entire OS is something that I love.

Also how quick it is just doing stuff on the OS.

I have SP1 and never used it without it so I don't know what it is like, but DAMN Vista is way way better than XP IMO.

There is 0 reason so far and I hope it stays that way for me to say I am switching back to crappy XP.

That's to bad Microsoft released Vista when it did to get the bad rep it did. If they released with all the features of SP1 I bet it would not have got half the shit that it does.

SSilence · Jun 11, 2008, 07:44 AM

Moved on Vista as soon as it was available, and installed the SP1 a week after it was released. I'm never turning back.

Its also pretty sweet to use Ultimate and have a nice SCO dev shell. Compiling my code right in vista is good to me.

I love Vista so far, much better performance, and real memory management = good times.

I have been using Vista 64 since before it's official launch, and have had no qualms about it to think of, with the exception of activation problems with various builds

Vista is so much fun especially for programmers/gamers like me. Its job and I quote "is to prance around gaily in its pretty little dress while you're trying to do your work" I have vista but I'm a programmer and I need my virtual mem for more important things like ripping my movies so I can have an extra copy(legally ofcourse). Using photoshop, netbeans 6.0, phptriad ....... Stuff I need for the office.

I guess if you want a dress for your computer, Vista is the OS for you, unfortunately my pc aint gay. So .....
