July 22, 200818 yr Haven't tried Vista yet. I don't see the need to either.XP does everything that I need.
July 22, 200818 yr I tried Vista Home premium in Mar 07, on an Amd sempron 3000+ with 1gb ram, and XP MCE was on again by April. I got so excited before, but it was soooo slow! Anyway, last October, my HDD failed, and I got a great deal on a Dell Inspiron with Vista Ultimate, and AMD 64X2 5000+ and 2gb (now 3gb) ram. Vista is so much better, the media features are just brilliant. Vista Media Center = fantastic. WAYYY better than Sky+
July 23, 200818 yr Running Windows Vista Ultimate now on Intel 2 Quad core 2,4 Ghz 3 GB DDR2 and Geforce 8800 GT. Vista defenitly looks very cool i'll admit that. Runs stable for me, only thing that annoys me is the constant aproval question. You gotta click like 4 "Yes, i'm sure" buttons if you wanna delete a folder with some files in it.
July 23, 200818 yr You an actually turn that off - which is what I did Its called User Account Control - steps to remove are below: 1. Launch MSCONFIG by from the Run menu. 2. Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find "Disable UAC" . Click on that line. 3. Press the Launch button. 4. A CMD window will open. When the command is done, you can close the window. 5. Close MSCONFIG. You need to reboot the computer for changes to apply.

July 23, 200818 yr XP with Service Pack 3 = Smiles all round! Vista = Pain and sorrow! Im obviously just stirring it up here! I will eventually have to upgrade to Vista at some point in order to support DirectX 10 but not until they sort that bugger out!
July 23, 200818 yr Hers an interesting topic, not sure how accurate the 40% slower figure is though. http://exo-blog.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-t...xp-sort-of.html Pat
