Hi Alrot,

Vista is a tricky business for everyone i guess... some people like it and swear by it, and some others can't bring themselves to even look at it anymore...

i've had my trouble with Vista, for the exact same problems you're mentioning now... too great a performance hog, compatibility issues and the whole shabang  :P

personally, i don't recommend Vista... or didn't until lately... because you see.. there is a problem... XP is growing old... and as much as i would prefer to remain with it which in my opinion is the best OS ever produced my microsoft, the growing lack of support for XP is discouraging at best... and one does feel the pressing need to move on... but what to?? Vista sucks... and windows 7 is still far from official release, although available in beta, but i can't say anything about it because i'm not the kind of guy who has PCs laying around ready to format and try on a new OS just for the fun of it

so it's a tough choice to say the least...

i myself have 2 computers, a desktop which is my gaming/simming/working computer, and a laptop, for more casual use... the big one is running XP, nor can i see it running Vista in the near future (this rig is, too, growing old)

and the laptop uses Vista, but it's starting to get real heavy on the limited hardware of the laptop... and i'm starting to have second thoughts about keeping it

my grandpa has a laptop too, which came with vista, and i was glad to remove it and replace it with XP shortly after he got it, so slow it was...

so yeah... though choice really... old and dying but fast OS or new and pretty but slow??

Yes ,there are wonderful things in VISTA ,I was looking for a Burner like Nero..LOL ,I didn't realize that Vita has already a burner for DVD Data and one of the most acurate DVD movie maker never sen one like this before! ,and like xp an a movie maker,also burns data to a cd Music and everything I want, one of the things I love most is the gadget which it shows my condition of my network ,incoming outcoming MBPS ,Hours date ,CPU Condition,RAm condition, ..I really love this things..

Go back to Xp is a step back ,I would feel dissapoint to myself .

I think is a matter to get use to it ,and find the way to replace the old hardware and software ...

and yes ,Is a bit slower than Xp, and eats a lot of ram memory and CPU activity, all this is like when people being for years ina specific Job and suddely got fire and then find another new job ,the first days are hard ,weird ,everything is strange, and all he things is he going to quit this new job ,Like in this example I think is to hold on here and get use to it

Alrot, i used both windows XP on my home rig, and Vista on my laptop in a development environment, I can say i prefer XP over Vista, i havent found a advantage vista has over XP so far.

I also have an old P3 in my right side having xp with the fSX-SDK ,I use this computer to assist me while (watching Photos of real planes and shaping in gmax etc) I'm working in this one ,In my case

Alex, I'm in a similar situation... I've used Vista on my new laptop for just under 2 months now, and have had nothing but trouble with it, Its been restored to Factory settings on quite a few occasions and even this didn't solve the problem's i was having.
I Managed to get the drivers for it for Windows Xp, and downgraded from vista... And i noticed the difference straight away, No more blue screens of death and various program errors due to it running like a dream... Only thing that made me put vista back on was the lack of certain features.

John..... seriously thinking about downgrading again...

Oh Jezz !!! I'm having a lot more problems than positive things ,I can't fly well due to this adaptation of my gameport http://www.roychaffin.com/MIDI-Gameport ... 32bit.html  my small homemade VC doesn't work well and I can't control the plane

I just looked my 80gb HDD is full (with what, I unistalled FS2004 to give it more space and now is full again) few minutes ago a very similar Win98 blue screen just shows up telling me a problem  ,sometimes the shutdown sequence Hangs, I couln't record the US predidential thing yesterday because I can't count with my Video /TV PCI card, and the HDD/ the network activity is always doing something IS Working all the time ..Oh Jezz! :-[


Bye VISTA  >:(  I'll format my main drive this week

Thanks For helping me Out people the worth thing we made is to try to Hide to ourselves our mistakes, we Lie our mind to make it real, .. VISTA is a good Cool software but is not practical ,EATS too much resourses and I can't find in what, why such of space in my HDD , what does it need too much Memory, and why isd always forcing the cpu without doing anything?
too beutiful, I loved the windows dvd maker, But Is too heavy

Thanks guys  :)
