Vista

<< < (2/2)

SPiN Racing:
I have been using PCs sine the first of them, as I may have mentioned in other posts.

I truly "loved" the days of DOS... the control etc etc..
I really HATED the days of 95 when I was such a hardcore DOS man.. damn gui taking resources!!
I really liked the later version of 98 simply for the functionality of Plug and Pray.. when it worked well... it was refreshing to not have to load damn drivers for Everything.
I COMPLTELY skipped ME. I installed it once for a week, then formatted the drive and went back to 98.
XP I have exclusively used since.. on all the computers in the house, garage, and for all the laptops and spare PCs.
I had Redhat, and Unbuntu, etc etc.. but always removed them eventually... because I HATED searching for goddamn drivers for a variety of things like a CD-Rom.. or sound card. Nothing fancy.. stock stuff.

Vista.... ahhh Vista..  I own a copy of Home, and Pro. I also have a beta copy. None of these are installed on anything. I did some testing on it at work, as well as some beta stuff.. and decided HECK no. I cant justify having to build a new PC.. when I am still using a very very very functional quad core box with 4GB of ram, and like 2 steps down from the highest level of video card. And have it be SLOWER!!!!

I have a lot of IT friends who have it on thier machines... DUAL BOOT. And the question I pose to them.... WHY? Why dual boot Vista and XP? And they cant answer.. cause they do everything in XP...


HoEWVER...... Windows 7... I gather is Vista... but a WORLD faster. THis per my friend who is very picky about things. He removed Vista from his PCs, and is running 7 RC exclusively. Im downloading it now as a matter of fact... so will put it on something OTHER THAN my main PC.. and test it out.. and see how it plays. But if you have a PC to spare... might be worth a spin. Its free till mid 2010 when it expires.
