General > Beating a dead horse

Windows Vista

<< < (2/3) > >>

Vinny:
I heard that XP will be supported until 2012. That's a long time away. My opinion is that unless you get a new computer - don't bother. Although I'm not in the computer field I believe upgrading an older computer is asking for problems, big or small.

I've added video cards that locked up the CPU because the CPU didn't know what to do. Memory is OK but how many people add the wrong memory and wonder what's going on. I work with a guy who tries to upgrade his computer by adding whatever and after hours trying to debug the system then removes the stuff.

Vista may be a good product but wait for the debugging as was said. By that time the old computer your on will be obsolete and it's time for a new one. For people who don't want to build their own you can buy a Dell or HP/Compaq for $400 or buy a high end one for $3000. OR you can buy an Apple! I usually go low end for my computers as I only use it for relatively stupid stuff ... like this! ;) ;D

I'm  waiting for Service Pack 1.  I would check that every program that you have will run a 64 bit Vista before I'd use the 64 bit version.  I hate being on the bleeding edge any longer.

I had some nice programs when I was on Windows 98 that will not run on XP. Kind of pissed me of that as we go forward you can't take favorite programs with you!

I agree with you, it always seems better to wait and let them work out all the bugs before you jump on board.  My friend, Mac lover that she is, insists that Vista still won't compare to her MAC...that is the only thing that makes me want to try it sooner...just to have a direct comparison.

I agree with your friend.  As a long time windows user, I have been running vista for over 6 months.  After six months of vista I went and got me a Mac.  I've had my mac for 2 months and i love it.  I never could say the same about vista.

Love my Vista!
No need to get the 64 bit. Stick with the 32 bit now. Not enough support for the 64.
