billkay Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Just got a new laptop with Vista. Not sure what to make of it yet. Kind of cool, kind of confusing. Seems like a bigger change then Windows 98 to XP. Anyone else using it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallmunster Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Vista Anyone? I think I'll wait a few months for the bugs to get worked out. It always seems that there are glitches in new software, especially an OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M00N Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Vista Anyone? I personally will give them a year until I even think of touching Windows Vista. I know a bunch of people that got it and have had compatibility problems left and right with games, software, and even hardware with it. One of my computers is only capable of upgrading to it because the Motherboards in my other computers are too old and not Vista ready. This computer though is Vista ready just not Vista hungry quite yet. I think a good year will give them time to work out the bugs and security flaws and for the hardware, software, and game companies to catch up with the new OS.

billkay Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Vista Anyone? Has some pretty cool things. You can run over a tab in the task bar and a small version of the actual window appears. I was under the impression that it was pretty thoroughly run in Beta and most of the glitches were already worked out. Haven't heard of any real problems yet either. Things are just in different places from XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Vista Anyone? We've done some testing with it at work. It definitely needs more memory and processor than MS recommends. In addition, there are several applications that won't run on it. As a ressult, we're holding of a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: Vista Anyone? I will be waiting for the Service pack to come out ... every single Windows has had a service pack 2 or even a 3 its a pain to download it so I will just wait and do something then ...
