  • starfighter01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3salgat, direct damn quote from the article:

    "It is definitely faster than Windows XP. Sure, there was talk about the rumor mill before Vista’s launch that it would require a terabyte of RAM and slowly eat your processor, core by core, over the course of a few weeks, but I never really listened to any of that. My laptop has a 1.86 GHz Pentium M with 1 GB of RAM, and a 256 Mb graphics card, but what’s important is that Vista runs *faster* than XP. A lot of this has to do with the fact that aside from legacy compatibility, Vista is a new OS built from the ground up with a lot of optimizations that improve the user experience."

    Speed is form? O RLY?

  • starfighter01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2boot sound: must be a driver issue.
    start menu: revert it to the XP style (you didn't read the article huh?)
    UAC: has its reasons. Vista has to cater to dumb users who get malicious programs on the computer without even realizing it.

  • gronne, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7I would bet money that most of the Vista bashers have never sat down and used it for more than 10 minutes. Is it a monumental change? No. But it does have some pretty great upgrades compared to XP and is well worth the money in my opinion.

  • sirber, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4I tried it on someone's laptop (Vista Home Basic). Even the boot sound lags. I get annoyed by fullscreen popup (UAC) trying to install softwares.
    Even the new start menu is POC. Too small, and I have too much softwares...
    Best keep XP...
  • Salgat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1So you liked the UI, congrats.

    (form over function in other words)
