Quinn Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Because I'm getting a lappy and it'll have it on it, Tell me some pros and cons plox.
Korupt Data Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Theres nothing to bad about it (it works) most stuff works..... and if it doesnt work you have to find a way to get it to work. Its a fine OS and if you need any help with it im right here
Lewie4 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Its good but i broke mine. everytime i turn it on i need to reboot the desktop
Korupt Data Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Its good but i broke mine. everytime i turn it on i need to reboot the desktop You tried modding something or you have a virus its not the OS's fault lol
iKhaosmaster Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 It's pretty good. Some cons are that it get's messed up a lot. I get a lot of errors when running crap. I suggest it though because of it's ability to run better programs.
xX Epsilon Xx Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 Watch for (x86) which is (64-bit) because A lot of stuff is not compatible yet. You can buy a 32bit > 64bit file convertor (like DLLs) but software costs lke 15,000$, or you can do it vith lke VB or C++, C, C+, C# etc... I dunno maybe

I dunno maybeIts kinda rare to get x86... you would have to ask specifically for it i believe.
matty0 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Posted March 9, 2009 to answer your question "Replying to Is Vista as bad as they say it is?" no vista is not as bad as "they" say it is, but xp is better than they say. anything vista can do, xp an do quicker, more reliably and for half the cost... still, worth the extra £100 for the vista aero glass right  (p.s i dual boot xp pro sp3, and vista ult sp1, diddnt pay for either and i almost never use vista... except for ssh on my iphone...)

blacklabelfosho Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 i agree with matty0. vista isn't terrible,it's just a step down from xp. It has a lot of extra gadgets and gizmos that the normal laptop user would like,but for power users, (like most people on this site) it just runs too slow bc of all the extra crap running in the background got a lot of flashy software that makes it look like they upgraded it so much,but really if u just like the interface w/o all the extra crap, look for software downloads for specific things. most of the overlays that Vista comes with is now downloadable for XP if you like the start menu of vista more than the xp start menu,just go find the start bar converter, i know its out there, had it for a couple months myself.

Decatur Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 (p.s i dual boot xp pro sp3, and vista ult sp1, diddnt pay for either and i almost never use vista... except for ssh on my iphone...)you can't SSH on XP?  I do..or is it you like it that way better?
Random1225 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 Vista isn't that bad it still works but it still has the occasional errors. If you aren't sure which to get try getting a laptop with xp installed that also comes with a vista disc. That's what I got with my new pc.
matty0 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Posted March 10, 2009 you can't SSH on XP?  I do..or is it you like it that way better?no you can, i just find the program runs better on vista... no idea y lol... anywho, yes i can on xp i just prefer vista 4 it
Quinn Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks for the feedback guys, I don't really have a choice because I think the laptop was almost built around Vista. If I installed XP I think it would screw it up real bad.

gruntmods Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 WINDOWS 7!its based on vista, but with huge improvements to everything.
Korupt Data Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 WINDOWS 7!its based on vista, but with huge improvements to everything.Meh windows 7 is vista with a new taskbar lol I bet its going to have the same problems.
L337 Box Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 there is nothing wrong with Vista. I don't know where you heard anything bad about it. If anybody did have a problem with vista it's because they have a virus. Or a Rly slow comp. But since you're getting a completely new comp it will be good.

lostmodz26 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 Vista is a pain in the ass to be honest, don't get it, you'll end up killing yourself.
