Re: XP or Vista on new laptop?
Vista works fine for me. I run Pokerstars, PT, and Pahud on it with no problems.. except for when I used flicker free drawing on PAHUD... then pokerstars starting freezing on me.

Re: XP or Vista on new laptop?
From a guy who does tech support:
use XP, you'll be much happier at the end of the day. From a guy who tinkers with computers: you could always make a VM of each and use both for a while and see which you like better. Then, when you realize it's XP, just use that one [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] K |

Re: XP or Vista on new laptop?
it's too bad that everyone is struggling so much with vista. i think it is really a significant improvement over xp. i've had very few problems getting everything working with vista, and i would loathe going back to xp.

Re: XP or Vista on new laptop?
Vista looks prettier but that's about it
If you don't want to be tearing your hair out whenever you try to make something work, use XP |

[ QUOTE ]
get vista if you get a new computer... every new OS uses more resources... its easy to handle and will improve with those servicepacks... if you have 2 gigs memory get vista, else get xp [/ QUOTE ] 2gigs is the minimum they recommend when I got Vista. I upgraded with another 2gig flash chip, which really picked up the speed. Vista really likes flash memory plugins. I got mine from Kingston.com and was really affordable. Here's what I got (I am NOT affiliated with them in any way) DTR/2GB USB 2.0 DataTraveler w/ReadyBoost1 $52.00 I've had it for about six months and love it. I allocated all two gigs to flash and none to storage on the USB chip. |

Sucks people are too stupid to figure out how to make it work because I couldn't imagine going back to XP ever at this point. |

Re: XP or Vista on new laptop?
I'm actually going through the incredibly painstaking task of downgrading Vista to XP as we speak just because I hate Vista so much. It's much harder to do on a laptop than a desktop.
