Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: Unable to install XP Pro - BlueScreen! I have some strong opinions, yes. That doesn't mean I hate it, or even consider it a bad OS overall. I have some pet peeves, "Filter" (aka Search) being at the top, with networking wizards not far behind. But my strongest emotion regarding Vista is that it isn't even close to being what the designers originally set out to produce. That original concept would have meant a very different OS, from the guts out. Instead, they hung a bunch of stuff on a version of XP that they, I agree, significantly improved and made more stable, more self-healing, and more intelligent and unbudging when it comes to applications installations. But I'd have no problem using it as my base machine, and in fact I'd probably prefer it. It's just that for the moment, my rather huge XP system (relative to most people's), is running well, applications are settled in and behaving, and it's just not convenient to convert to Vista as my main system right now. I've just been using it and digging into its guts in order gain the knowledge I need to support others who use it. Which, of course, will help me immensely when it does come time to switch. -- Gary S.
