XP or Vista

[faisj]

Question for Windows users:

What do you use on this moment:
Vista or XP?

and why...

 

[Hitch]

I use XP.
Why? Because my Pc can't run Vista.

When i get a new PC soon, i will be sure to get Vista though. :D

I use XP. Why? Because Vista is good, but it's certainly not great. I don't go for these people who says "vista is sh!t" etc etc because it's clearly not - however it just has nothing i want and a lot of stuff i don't.

Give me XP on Windows Classic any day, does the job.

XP. I got a software that can't run on Vista.

XP. For some strange reasons, problems always occurs (and different ones too) when I install Vista.

I'll consider Vista beta quality software (some beta quality open source are more stable) till SP1 comes out.

After reading about all the new DRM in Vista, I'll be sticking to XP for now. (Not to mention how slow Vista would make my computer run.)

I am using XP myself on my business computer and personal laptop.
It is running fine and dont really need the upgrade.

Also the computers are made for XP and not Vista.
I think that I will buy a new laptop next year and then I will buy it with Vistaa

I run Xp and Vista on 4 different computers. I would pefer both but more Xp just because Vista has just came out. I mean do not get me wrong Vista is great since I have a fast enough computer to support it but you know microsoft so I am sticking to Xp.

XP - no real reason to upgrade yet.

Vista it still too new , I'm sure there are plenty of bugs to be fixed so, also it needs more resources and pricey. so far have no reason to upgrade.

XP - Vista has only recently come out, so there will be tons of bugs. I'm waiting for SP1, or when I get a new computer.

Landslide victory for XP so far :hehe:

Nothing like the 98/ME/2000 transition to XP if i remember correctly (quite possible i don't, i was fairly young)

I am waiting for Razer to release Vista drivers for my audio card. Once they are out, I will be using Vista.

Vista is definitely better than XP - its just that it needs some more time until hardware (and software) compatibility improves.

I am using XP right now until I can get a Vista. However I found Vista to be quiet sluggish compared to XP on a less powerful computer. Mainly because of the increase in GUI that cannot be handled by old 64 mb gfx cards and even some 256mb have a hard time running it.. (I'm not talking about RAM.. lol)

However I have a nice GFX card so I can run it nicely.. A few things I do like about Vista are the new features such as the Aero GUI and the Sidebar Widget addon. But most of these things arn't worth paying another $150 for.. What did they do other than add some things which should have been in XP? Adding some garbage to the desktop which can be done with a 3rd Party application? Adding the Desktop to Alt-Tab.. Which should have been there in the first place? Increased security so now even computer nerds find it hard to move around in there own comp? Add a Boot Partition locker so you can't edit the partitions lol?

Personally I think instead of Microsoft trying to make more money they should have just made another XP Service pack..

I use XP, I haven't tried Vista yet nor have I even had interest in buying it. I heard it's great though. But the regular Windows XP is perfect for me. No need to switch over.

 

[LogiK]

My vote = XP

 

[antman]

On Vista, both desktop [Ultimate] and laptop [Home Premium] {Yes, both legally} :p

The laptop came bundled with it, and I'm pretty use to it. Just needed to fork out some $$$ to upgrade the desktop though. Sooner or later, you're gonna upgrade, so why not sooner? :tu:

 

[swimjenni]

I'm using XP; not really a reason to switch at this point.

Same reason here.
