XP or Vista

Vista FTW!

I love it, Vista does have an option to turn off UAC(User Account Control) and many ppl haven't figured that out yet when it's right in the control panel, so you really can't complain about that. I find this funny, this forum has a few CCNA, A+ Cert, or ppl with lots of knowledge, they hate Vista but, they can't figure out how to open the Control Panel and go through two menus to disable the only annoyance.

haha I just booted from my vista disk today and found out that theres system restore built-in to it

That was the first thing I found here was how to shut off the UAC annoyance! I didn't even have to read an article to dissect Vista in that regard since the security prompts for everything I was trying to initially install was getting in the way.

Now that Vista has been out for the last several months you are starting to see more positive reviews and tips on improving overall system performance along with explainations on some of the newer features now automatic in Vista like the Super Prefetch only manually enabled in XP after SP2 came out. Vosta prestages the most often used games and apps in a form of standby mode allowing for faster loading times. With XP SP2 you had to manually see this done. http://www.msblog.org/?p=88

Until you dual boot with XP that is. Then your Vista restore points are lost. http://vistasupport.mvps.org/prevent...windows_xp.htm

windows XP

windows vista is very clever in consuming memory, the aero interface eats up lots of memory. so i still prefer XP due to my budget, performance and also cost.

Do you want to know one of the first things done here with Vista besides disabling the UAC feature? Get rid of all the ""eye candy" that MS was trying to sell in order to use the Classic Windows style. Yet my current desktop is still kind of an "eye grabber".

jimkonow · 11-16-2007, 04:40 AM

xp, cause my system cant even look at vista without getting a negative rating.

How do you put up with that?

XP works, period. And I hate Vista's Windows Explorer and files search. I also couldn't care less about eye candy. Guess I'm old school.
