Legitimately curious, but what reason is there to use Vista over 7 nowadays? I never really hated Vista at all, but I can't think of any reason I'd want to use it again aside from nostalgia or something.
No, it's not, it's like a shinier buggier heavier crappier version of XP RTM mixed with Longhorn - nothing like 7
I installed Vista on computer 10 years old and the HDD don't stop loading (The laptop has 768MB RAM).
When walking in shops years ago when it was still new I always felt in love with its overall look, the taskbar, the start menu, Aero, and the Sidebar, everything, perfect, I'd use it over 7 if it had the new features from 7 and 8, why not, infact I went back and fourth from Vista to 7 a lot xD You realize Windows 7 was based on Vista right? of course, it was meant for powerful computers Anyway, this is kinda getting off-topic, 5 days anyone excited for the event and JTP ? We/some might end up being either happy or disappointed so brace yourselves
As long as it has the babbling brook/waterfall for the desktop like Vista, I am going to be thrilled...
No, it was 'built' on Vista, not based on it They took a heap of sh1te, fixed it, improved it, made it usable, stable and solid, and released it as 7 If you have ever watched "Chop Shop" with Bernie and Leepu, that's what MS did with Vista to make 7
Lol thats kinda harsh, considering Vista had a long and rushed + tormented development, when I used it on my Laptop I was surprised it worked very well compared to an older PC/Laptop...
I don't have enough harsh words in my vocabulary to describe how terrible Vista was, I ran in on a few PCs, the same ones that ran XP and 7 fine, and it was horrendous, every repair job Ive done where Vista was the OS, I've upgraded to 7 and 100% of their problems, gone MS themselves, Ballmer, admitted in an interview that Vista was one thing he regretted
Good grief, on a forum where computer geeks reside, I cannot believe all the negative posts about Vista. If you couldn't handle/learn/deal with/use Vista, admit it. Don't go blaming the OS. Carry on complainers...
That's a common misconception, Ballmer doesn't regret vista as a product, he said he "regrets Longhorn", he regrets the development leading up to vista, specifically the mess that was the pre-reset Longhorn development.
lol ... I myself never complained about Vista and even liked it but some "specialists" thought they can handle it like old XP and failed totally. Result was a lot of work on these guys' machines
Not meaning to be rude but can we keeps on topic guys. Why are we talking about Vista in a Windows 10 thread?
oh ... is it a W10 thread? To me it looks like a W10 waiting threat where things get discussed until new stuff shows up
Come on now, you know we screw around when there is nothing new to discuss. Besides, your "off topic" comment is off topic since it doesn't talk about Win 10. I feel better now....don't you...
