Windows Vista
Mez:
I built up a new box last month and bought an OEM version (32 bit) of Vista Home Premium and LOVE IT! Best version to date and I started way back when on Windows 3.0. As long as you stick with the 32 bit version you are fine
Brewman:
I have a new PC arriving this weekend, we'll see how Vista works out.
autoplay:
Today I installed Vista 64-bit. Everything is working great,and had no problems as of today,with finding drivers for my various hardware,in 64-bit form.
It's now actually using all 4 gigs of ram that I have,compared to win xp,which was only using 2.7 gigs total.
My Battlefield game,I had to instruct it to run in administrator mode,then had no prob with diff OS issue/s.
It actually seems a tad faster compared to win xp.
I now have win xp on 1 HD,Vista64 on another HD. Both drives are identical,same speed etc.
Not runnin em dual boot,but using CMOS to boot up whatever drive I want,from the gate.
The software only cost me 99 bucks,as it's an OEM builders edition.
Back to learning what this longhorn thang iz all bout lol
Brewman:
So far so good on my new PC, with Vista- not the 64 bit. I did need to get some new drivers for a couple of my printers, but they are now working fine.
New scanner just installed came Vista compatible. Also upgraded to Office 2007 pro- and am quite impressed with the new layout of word and Excel.
My cable company supplies software (CA Associates, IIRC) for firewall, anti virus, etc... that so far hasn't been upgraded to run on Vista, but hopefully soon.
Other than that, I like Vista.

I know this topic is going a back a bit but it has relevance to me now. I just bought a new laptop a couple of days ago and it has Vista. I'm not quite loving just yet... >:(
For you computer nerds, any idea how I can get my Cannon MP150 printer running on my wireless. I can't find the driver to get it running on Vista.
Feel free to email a link @ srsb@shaw.ca
Much appreciated!!
