Re: Vista + XP
vista: Bloatware in the extreme sense of the word.........I mean, how many processes does XP have going when it's finished starting up, versus the number vista has?

Re: Vista + XP
I'm not fond of Vista myself. Way too many bugs. I work with computers for a living. I myself use XP and am happy with it. I haven't had to reload my OS.

Re: Vista + XP
Question: If you bought a new PC, and it has Vista on it, would you DELETE Vista in favor of XP? OR would you do what I did?

Re: Vista + XP

The Q though was to Athene.

Re: Vista + XP
well, if given a choice, I'd prefer to go dual boot, but, that's just me.

*oops* I would probably delete Vista and go with XP until all the bugs of Vista are worked out.
I hope I answered that question right. My brain is rather fried today.

Re: Vista + XP
And there in would be a huge problem
Delete Vista until it gets better would mean you'd have to BUY Vista (again) to re-install. Vista doesn't come with install disks. It comes on a partition on the hard drive.
A dual boot means you can leave it there and not use it until Vista is stable

I also back up Vista and other OS's on disk. I have done that quite a lot. I can do that in my sleep. I'm a computer tech/instructor/IT. I eat sleep and breathe computer. Been in the computer field for 30 years. I'm known as "The Computer Guru "
I've also done the dual boot myself.

Well, that's good! Especially if you have a disk that can hold the entire Vista restore info, if you have deleted it off its partition.

Re: Vista + XP
Might watch Alicia Silverstone in Clueless.
*Just teasing...*
I like Vista, and it continues to get better now that Service Pack 1 has been released. But I always like to compare Vista to the psycho ex-girlfriend analogy: Pretty on the outside (Aero Glass GUI), but something entirely different on the inside (Product Protection Platform anti-piracy technology).
That's on-topic for the most part, right?
