I hated it too at first but have gotten used to it.

It's easy enough to get around but none of my shop programs work with it.
My estimating system say's it will be next year before they have a program to work with Vista.

My paint mixing system is still working on it.

Don't like vista. Just bought another laptop and opted for the $30 "upgrade" to XP-Pro

I got it preinstalled on a new dual core almost a year ago. I really like it, but I wouldn't consider upgrading from XP on my older laptop. Also, you'll want at least 2GB of RAM to ensure it will run smoothly.

I like it on my machines that are up to running it, and for the apps that are designed for it.

For older machines or software, it's worthless.

It runs okay with 2GB of RAM.

Any less ...

That said, I still think it's a crappy operating system. :shrug:

If it comes with Vista, I'll suck it up and deal with it. :shrug:

Vista has a lot of nifty features...but they are all aesthetic memory hogs. I still use XP...and probably will until all new software is compatible with both.

Linux > all, imo

 

[doubt_me]

i bought a new computer that came with vista. took a bit to get used to, but i like it.

i think most people just don't like having to relearn some stuff.

I'll let you know this time next week.

Didn't all existing peripherals (printers. etc.) need new drivers that didn't exist?

I promise I won't talk bad about vista anymore

I can't see posts 4 thru 11. What the hell!

My desktop (Vista) and my work laptop (XP) sit right next to each other when I'm home and I prefer XP. I don't think I'll ever get used to Vista.

Some of the Dell systems you can opt (pre configure) to see "XP only" machines...

Or if you have XP on a machine now, just use its key if you are retiring that one... if it does not take, call MS and have it converted over to the new LT so you can "register" that copy with MS.
