Vista makes me think of Win ME

Yes, crappy, a system hog, and quickly succeeded.

I'm running the new release candidate inside of VMWare on my Ubuntu system. Works pretty decent and is leaps and bounds better than Vista. Still has the stupid UAC and some other items, but overall, pretty decent. XP still is the industry standard and I still have no thoughts of going forward with any other OS in my company.

If I do (more like when), it will be to Windows 7.

Guess what, it's just like vista. It uses a little less ram and CPU but it's VERY similar.

Win2k forever.

i thought the same until SP3 for XP came along

darn I got all excited then remembered I'm still on an ancient 32bit rig, which, for some ungodly reason still runs faster/smoother than anyone elses computer I know.

I have 4GB ram, only able to use 3 of it running the 32-bit Vista. Should be interesting to see what 4GB runs like in a 64-bit environment.

wtf? wow. i should check to see what vista sits at. i only have 6gb's lol.

It's not bad, except for the fact it's a HUGE system hog. I idle at 1.5-1.8gB RAM

Yea, I've been running Vista 64-bit for the past 8 months and have yet to have a problem with it. I don't know why everybody hated on it so bad, but then again the 64-bit and 32-bit are a good bit different.
I'm going to upgrade to Win7 at some point, here in the not too distant future. I've got build 7058 on a dvd sitting on top of my computer.

[Atreus]

nice, better than vista64? thats what i run now.

might try it tonight...

[Jand3rson]

It's 64 bit, at least all the ones I've found are.

[Atreus]

noob question, but is this 64/32 bit? and how is the xp VM? is that in 32/64 bit also?

The Microsoft Software Alliance for my school has it on the site for download.

IT doesn't work with PB on CoD4 because evenbalance is a bunch of ass pirates. 7 can wait.
