Our Windows Sentinel tracking data shows that 35 percent of mainly enterprise-class users "downgrade" their Vista systems to XP
To be fair, I dont know how accurate InfoWorld's tracking is, but it's being reported around all the tech sites, so somebody cares....
-
Vista is great as long as the system is powerful enough. Anyone who doesn't have a dual-core CPU and at least 2gb ram probably shouldn't upgrade.
-
I have no complaints so long as Windows Defender and all that worthless garbage is disabled
-
I've been on the cusp of going back to XP because Vista is just giving me a bunch of little headaches. But I think might just do a clean Vista install to give it a second chance.
-
Mojave is where it's at.
-
Our office is getting new computers and they're being "downgraded" to XP before they arrive. We're so hip.
-
please try mojave

I have had Vista for many months now and had no big problems with it. Biggest problem I faced was the Stranglehold demo freezing my PC.
Oh, and one program I use to change the format of hard drive didn't work on Vista, and I needed it for my PS3. I had to break out my XP laptop for that.
All in all, Vista is much, much better than Windows 2000.
-
vista working fine for three months here.
so far, vista > xp
-
A lot of large companies and most govt agencies dont want or cant spend money on hardware, thats a lot of it.

oh well, no surprise, as i'm surrounded by disgusting swarms of xbox-inclined homosexually-leaning individuals!

Vista is fine performance-wise, it's just unfortunate that the Windows interface is so ugly and overly complicated.
-
complicated? it's easier than sticking your dick in a man hole.

Manhole? Nice.
Apple 4 EVER. Do not want microshit. Except for gaming. I use my Windows desktop for gaming.

lol @ paying 2000 bux for a 1000 dollar laptop
-
I didn't mind paying a high price for my macbook pro. Never had a single glitch, error or virus. It's fast and smooth.
-
fail, vista is awesome
-
wtf is a mojave
-
We have some Server 2008 machines. They should have just called it Vista Server.

wtf is a mojave
Some experiment MS does to trick ignorant bastards into secretly accepting Vista despite their irrational hate of it based on what others said, and not what they witnessed themselves.

Better than Vista, right? Wrong. It is Vista. Booyah!

My desktop dual boots to either 32bit XP or 64bit Vista, and my new laptop came with it. Its fucking awesome, I'm sure on some older machines it runs like shit, but it craps all over XP... everyone always compares it negatively to OSX / Leopard, but is it actually better than XP? I'd say so, yes.
More secure operating environment. Idiot proof (UAC is optional). Takes better advantage of multi-core machines. Searches your network more intelligently, supports the IPv6 protocol already. I have one printer in this house, and all the other computers use it. It was easier connecting to it with Vista than it was with the other machines. Incorporates the tablet features of XP Tablet edition and improves on them. Has shit-hot voice recognition, although I can't see when you'd use it. Windows Media Center built in. With or without using the Aero theme, it just flat out looks better. Everything is indexed, search speed is improved, you can now just hit the Windows key and begin typing whatever program / file you're after to get at it instantly. Speed has improved for games and stuff from SP1 onwards too. I'm sure there's tonnes of other shit I've missed out.
On the desktop system with 64bit Vista on it, I did have some teething problems, while I waited for drivers and things like that, but compared to the last 64bit system I tried (XP64) -- again, it shits on it. Any 32bit programs run just fine.
