I personally dont hate Vista. My wifes lappy has it. I like it really but its just a hog on resources for her laptop, where as XP wouldnt be
Its a resource hog, as a resource user. The way Vista uses RAM is like a cache, more than a temp storage, For example, it preloads some data for what Vista sees its user use the most. My laptop, though on 1gb of RAM, has noticed my pattern of immediately going to Firefox when I boot up.
So, Vista speeds up my process of booting what I use most. In reality, this is what the increased RAM usage is doing. Benchmarkers are P.O.ed because their 3DMark 06 is 1000 points off.
Boo-Hoo. Vista 64 is great. Sure there are not as many supported programs for 64bit systems, but having a safer, stable environment for my computer is worth having. For god sakes, stop making overclocking a sport. (not directed towards WarEagle)
As for the support of other vendors, they are just as guilty. (Nvidia crashes anyone) The problem is that Apple did such vast marketing campaign to make Vista look bad. Then agian, the average user has no idea how to even update drivers. Which is why Microsoft has had a hard time explaining how decent their OS is, and if you use it for more than 5 min, you might actually see how decent it is.
Personally, I wish Steve Jobs would stop passing hos products as Elitist, and people would overall give something a "personal" trial before bashing. Then I realize, I wake up, grab some cerial, and realize how stupid people around me actually are. Thanks TPU for having some computer sense.
