Windows Vista is actually not a bad OS now it's at SP2. The problem with Vista was with being released so early the bugs were endless. Now finally with SP2 all these bugs are fixed and Vista is finally a Stable OS
Yeah it's working great for a friend of mine, not really had any troubles at all on SP2 and only minor ones if he does get the odd thing. Even though Windows 7 is my main OS on the i5 build, I use a whole ton of virtual machines as well, Vista Ultimate 64-bit being one of them, and I like it quite a lot. I'd say I prefer Vista to XP now on newer hardware, but on older hardware, XP is still the best.

I will agree about changes, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not so good. Going off topic a bit I know, but what did people think of the ribbon interface in Office 2007 when it first came out? I liked it, and preferred it to 2003, but I know some people didn't. That's just one example of Microsoft's changes.

I remember using Windows 98 on my CTX.

Windows 7 is by far the best MS has had to offer as far as performance and security but I am looking forward to windows 8, especially how MS is finally doing the thing I have been saying for years and that is offering full intergration between the OS, xbox, Windows mobile and Zune. They have been slowely intergrating with 7, the xbox 360, windows mobile and zune but it could be better.

Don't mean to jack this thread, but...

I thought MS was dropping support for Zune as a separate platform and they were going to integrate it with the Windows phones? That was the only reason I bought an Ipod instead of having my Zune repaired.

I think Windows 8 will be nice change and I hope they make some changes like get rid of WMP and just add the few missing codecs to zune.

I think one problem I see with the intergration of all there devices is they need to get rid of the MS point system and just use cash or card for xbox and zune.

yeah the ms point thing could be annoying if all are integrated. But i dont like using credit cards so as long as you can still go to the store and buy some sort of card for money on there then i would be happy

I just don't like that Microsoft removed Windows Movie Maker and Outlook Express from Windows 7.And now if in Windows 8 they remove even Windows Media Player that sucks lol!
I am not saying Windows 7 is bad and that Windows 8 will be bad also,but just why the hell would they remove those nice useful things and then put them on their WEB site as a separate download?!That sucks lol xD
Ok it's true that there ARE people who do not use those things,but is that a reason to remove it???I mean...there are TONS of people who use that every day lol.Even me :p

one annoying thing is they give you that stupid free trial of microsoft office, i hate office, i never use it lol

Yea I also never use Office.It's not that its bad or anything,I just don't need it lol.
And yea you are right about one thing.They give you free trial of MS Office in Windows 7 on about 60 days,but DO NOT give those nice useful things that XP had such as Windows Movie Maker and Outlook Express.And to tell you the truth those things that XP had and even Vista had are a LOT more useful than stupid 60 days trial of MS Office.Not to mention that those things they removed in Windows 7 never had trial period lol.That was so awesome and now you do not have anything except OS full of free trial programs more and more lmao!
Not to mention if you buy a new laptop.It has Windows 7 on it + tons of 60 days trial useless programs xD I hate that rofl!

I bet they will even remove NOTEPAD,WORDPAD,PAINT and other nice programs in future Windows editions lmao!

Say whatever you want,but I am sticking to Windows 98 and Windows XP.They are the best lol!!!
