No matter what "horses" you have, they will run faster on XP than on Vista. Saying "If you have the horses to run it" is misleading because to do the same things, with the same results, Vista requires many MANY extra paranoid "security" (DRM) checks whereas XP does not. One example is a series of instructions in the code; to perform a task in XP it used to take (i.e.) 5 steps, but in Vista the same task takes 11 or more, because it's making sure that nobody has hacked the PCI bus between the sound card and the CPU and other retarded sh**. Oh, and don't forget all the code that makes your sounds and displays WORSE (on purpose) if they are not "secure" (which by definition they cannot be).

Vista is a POS.

If you're concerned about your "horses" you'll run the same horses on XP and get better results.

That's what I was saying.

Loudest darn pin I've ever heard. Wish I'd worn hearing protection.

For people who haven't been screwing around with computers since the 6502 was hot stuff (that's the bugged version, of course) and the 8086 was the competition I'd say stick with XP.

Would a 6510 count ?

Seriously, i'd rather use DOS than Vista!!

My 'work box" is currently set as a quad boot with XP, 2000, Vista and Ubuntu (7.04). to me 2000 is the only quality operating system in the bunch. It simply isnt configured for "gaming etc". The only reason I have Vista is because it came free with my last XP license. As Puck (and others) mentioned it has alot of serious issues. VPN settings are a nightmare, file sharing across a multiOS network is a quagmire (even with XP or 2000) and these "virtual files" are for the birds.

There are alot of things that are "counter intuitive" to XP. This is similiar to Office 2007 vs earlier releases. I hate Word 2007 (so far). All that being said there are alot of positives to Vista. It is simply a better OS for an average user....simply at a high price in terms of requirements and "user" rights.

Am I fan, hardly but even though my box is set to default to XP I find myself booting up Vista more and more often...suprisingly to run AH for one. Vista simply runs AH better then XP. I used to run a ~80 employee consulting firm which had an Win98/NT/Citrix network so I can see how Vista would be a nightmare (I wouldnt touch it for a business app right now)....but as a home use OS its got alot of upside....more if your a typical user. It's as close to an idiot proof system as I've seen. Now of course if your not an idiot and you want the frigging thing to do what YOU want then the gremlins in the box will drive ya nuts. I've totally hosed vista twice in a month to the point of needing to "F nuke" and reload....something i've never done in 20+ yrs of tinkering from DOS/OS2/Linux/Windows {3.0 up} etc...I'm hardly a fan of Gatesdom and I'm relearniong linux with the thought that it might have enough traction for mainstream use soon.
