I doubt that Vista is dead. When XP came out it was pretty unstable for many folks till SP1 came out. As for Vista when it's SP1 comes out I'm sure it'll be fine.
As for me I have zero reason to update to Vista, I just want something to run my apps and not crash. Linux just doesn't support the apps I need such as MPLAB or BF1942 else I'd probably switch.
Vista I really don't need a fancy desktop, I don't care if my OS is pretty.
Can anyone give one good reason to use Vista over XP?
yesterday somebody told me that vista is already doomed and is not upraded anny more but instead microsoft is developing again a new opperating program
They should focus on a smaller, more efficient version.
Amen to that, brother! I am right at home with XP Pro. Despite MS' intentions to have SP3 as their final update, it wouldn't surprise me if a third party was to write SP4 or some sort of patch if ever needed.XP Pro is the best OS MS has ever made as far as I'm concerned.

I've never liked Windows, it's a resource hog. Would have stuck with DOS, if that had been an option. I've held out and skipped several versions of Windows, looks like I'll be missing Vista.
Just seems ridiculous to load up your computer with a bunch of crap most users will never use. Vista needs 1 gig of ram, just to run. Why should the operating system take up more RAM, disk space, and processor time, than the applications you use?
Every new release of Windows, has usually meant the need to buy a new computer, just to get similar performance out of your apps. Windows is a cancer, it keeps growing, and takes over all resources until the computer is almost useless. They should focus on a smaller, more efficient version. Let the user choose what features they want or need. My major problem is that most apps are released as either Windows or MAC, no other choice.
Just my opinion, but I think VISTA was written basically for System Admins., and the home version for grandparents and the like who shouldn't have a computer to begin with! Both my mother-in-law & brother-in-law use Vista and all I can say is they don't call me anymore with problems since they quit using Win. ME and XP Home. Vista IMHO, is for the "sheeple".
Vista is another matter, I just want a simple operating system, XP Pro works just fine.
I even use the 'classic' display format, with all the 'trimmings' deselected.
I dont want a 'pretty' desktop, just functional gets the job done.!
Hows that for an 'Old Guy'........
So you have a black wallpaper to save power too? Or a white one? Depending on your monitor?
hi,
I dont see the connection....
Please enlighten me. [pardon the pun]
It could be argued that white wallpaper being reflective would mean I could use a smaller light bulb for the room..
My monitor is 19inch TFT, set for 1280 * 1024, 32 bit colour, second monitor 17inch same settings connected via a USB screens expander.
