Vista

[dmich2]

I just ordered my copy of the Vista operating system, and I'm scared... I hear it's crap. I'm really pleased with my XP. Anyone experienced the new Vista and can pass on any good/bad stories?

Don't have experience with it yet ! But if you like X P why change until they stop supporting it ? Which will happen sooner or later. Our "I T" guy says Vista's still too new...........
OR, go ahead and use it and let us know how it works

Ther was a report in the paper yesterday that Vista has experienced conflicts with several already-installed softwares, particularly photo-editing. A pal of mone who is knowledgeable in these things says that any program with Nero in its software will screw up Vista, or vice versa. I just got a new Desktop with a free Vista upgrade to download from the internet site, but I'm holding off until they get their act together.

I just ordered a new computer with XP. I am currently using 98. I would keep 98 if they supported it.

You'll like XP. I've been using it for five years.

Like all new Operating Systems, it's not completely compatable with older computer hardware It's not wise to install vista on older (2 years) hardware.

I agree with Nick on XP, It's been pretty compatible with the way I compute Never had any real problems in the 4-5 years we've used it.

Hi Forum,

It does'nt matter which windows operating system you choose, they all had their teething problems. Look at windows 98, they have only really stopped supporting it after nearly ten years. Apple have been giving it really hard time on adverts down-under. I think I will wait until I upgrade my computer before moving on to Vista though.
