OK, youre right, but the choice is him. In his place I should

choose for Vista, with a dual boot with XP. But the coming years

there will come software who good turns on Vista only.

From MY viewpoint, Vista.

If YOU put Vista on YOUR machine, the chance of malware infecting MY machine

goes down.

I have not noticed that, although I do big copies rarely.

For me, longer uptimes and more reliable power management outweigh a few

minutes (if that) when copying files. I save 10 minutes every day by not

having to do a full boot, only a resume from sleep.

There isn't anything new of substance. The help system has been

improved. A lot of things have been shuffled around for no good

reason. Aero which was suppose to be a WOW factor is a dud. File

transfers might be slower, UAC is a pain in the ass. SP1 on some

system makes Vista worse. In short if XP is stable for you no real

compelling reason to get Vista. Shame, but Vista mostly adds some eye

candy, for sure lots more bloat, runs slower for many.

Two years. Like I said, 2004 saw the abandonment of a lot of the work on

Longhorn. Vista was restarted, using a fair bit of Server 2003 code. It

was launched at the end of 2006, so the development was squeezed into a

couple of years or so.

Why not?

Business at all sizes now depend on information technology at various

degrees for improving productivity, efficiency, and increasing revenues and

Microsoft's products (e.g. OS) is a major part of the game.

Implication: The efficiency and reliability of its products directly

transfer to those of an employee and ultimately to the company.

So you would rather see Microsoft to be replaced by spoiling it than

demanding them to be one of the most trustworthy technology partners?

Since this is your second ask, I assume you have a strong motive for using

it which is perfectly understandable, and in which case, I will suggest why

not try it yourself.

Just make sure:

(1) Discuss with your system provider to make sure that they will have

downgrade right ready for you and pay attentions to their return policy. So

for the worst case scenario, you can move to XP without any penalties

(either exercising the downgrade right or returning the system within

guaranteed period).

(2) Make sure your hardware and important software are compatible so you

don't need to waste time on solving that part of issues.

(3) Do not transfer important data until you have solved most problems (if

any) and you are sure that you will be using it from now on.

I know it's hard to resist the temptation of playing with the greatest and

latest, and I am also a bit of like that, so try and see it yourself :)

Hope this helps and good luck.

An area that microsoft missed badly is the new sub notebook i.e. Hp 2133 and

eee Pc 900. Vista eats 70% more CPU on such systems than XP, even with 2

Gb.

Re: Vista or XP ?

I think that it depends on what your future plans are with the computer.

Depending on what your business is, if you are having to deal with updates

for software that relates to your business, go with Vista. If you don't

foresee having to deal with updates, go with XP. You need to think about

what type of applications you will be using, and if you are dealing with

others through this computer, do they tend to use the newer versions of

software? What kind of support do you expect other software companies to

have for what you are using into the future? If you have staff, what are

they using at home?

We could tell you what you should use, but we don't know your complete

circumstances. If I had come here and asked about which one to use, the odds

are I would be using XP now, but I am using Vista and actually like it.

Others perfer XP, and that is their choice. I think that I use used my XP

machine maybe four times since I got a Vista machine.

No One has given a really good reason to use Vista instead of XP;

Of the people I know who have looked at Vista Two major corporations

have said

" No Thanks".

Two friends bought new PC's with Vista on them; both have had major

problems.

Both are computer illiterate( As are most of the population)

The universal cure for Vista Problems seems to be to " Roll It Back"

to reliable , stable Windows XP.

I'll wait for whatever Wintel presents years down the road, meanwhile

Windows XP does what I need.

I suggest that the best "performance" OS for a "performance" PC would

be Vista Ultimate, rather than XP. Especially if it is going to be

used for business applications.

Vista is likely he way to go but check to ensure all apps are compatible

with Vista. If you go with XP do not install SP3 just install XP SP2 and use

the updates from the Windows Update Site.

Hi Pete (I think),

When you say 'writing code', I presume you mean programming . . ?

If that is the case, then I would have to say it depends on the tools

that you are using. Since all of my database programming is done in

Clarion, and my generic programming done in VisualC and VisualBASIC, I

actually prefer Windows2000 (only because of its smaller footprint).

My main development machine runs WindowsXPpe[sp3], with VMs for;

1) Windows 3.11 for Workgroups

2) Windows95b

3) Windowsp98se

4) WindowsME

5) Windows2000pe[sp4]

6) WindowsXPhe[sp3]

7) WindowsXPpe[sp3]

8) Windows Vista[sp1]

9) Linux - Ubuntu Feisty

10) Linux - Fedora 8

11) Linux - Tiny-Me 2008

I use the VMs both for testing and doing different types of

development. I tried Vista for about 3 months and got so annoyed with

it that I reimaged a WindowsXPpe[sp2] image I had made before the

'upgrade?' to Vista and have been happily cranking on since. The tools

that YOU use should really be the determining factor. For example,

Clarion ties itself to a single processor, so when I looked for a

computer, I went with a 64b AMD processor rather than a Intel Duo-Core

cpu. Clarion and my favite TXT editor Multi-E v10 do not like 64b OSes

and run like dogs under them so I use WindowsXPpe[sp3] even though I

would love access to more than 3GB of RAM.

Just as an aside if you installed the AMD HotFix that was published

about a year ago the upgrade to Service Pack 3 works fine.
