Vista and xp . new or old . All about marketing

nothing that is new works perfect . it took xp until sp2 to be stable enough .

vista sp1 is a real update , while sp3 is a coverup ….

i think microsoft itself gave a statement by releaseing xp sp3 that is ” hang on there windows users we are working our all to perfect vista , here is a so called upgrade for xp please stay with windows dont change to apple or linux …..”

a very desperate marketing stunt for microsoft . shame on them . sp3 is an update like all updates for xp since sp2 , cant believe people actually thinks it makes xp faster …. all it does is updates your windows xp like any windows update you have done before since sp2 . ( security updates sugar coated to sound like they are doing something special for the end user hence sp3 ) ,

nothing new with xp , and new technology offered by vista ( dx10 , faster memory swap , readyBoost etc…).. you do the math . vista is not perfect . but its good … again it’s new vs. old … you do the math ….

vista for me ,,,

Vista suffered from what XP had suffered.
When XP came out, people stated saying O, Who needs Windows XP, when we have WINDOWS 2000/ME.

At the moment I’m using my dad’s vista, my own xp sp3 laptop is defragmenting.

At the moment, I prefer XP.

When Windows Se7en comes out in the 2010 timefrme, people will start liking Vista and saying oh look its Windows Se7en the disgrace of microsoft.

Then so on and so on..

At the moment PC has 90% of the market under capture.

And yes, this is ravi chowdhury from beal high school..

I recently reinstalled Vista from XP and SP1 seems to be more stable for me. Though I did have problems with the Task Scheduler Engine consantly closing, I found the problem was the “superfetch” service. I turned it off and it runs great.

Udate on last comment: memory management; Vista says its using all of my ram in other words it says i hav bout 64mb free 1gb used and 7gb cached this is the supior memory management of vista all my most commonly used programs etc.. are pre-loaded into the ram meaning tasks load straight away no waiting like wen i was using xp mainly because ram runs faster than ur hard drive does at loading apps

Im running Vista x64 Ultimate with 8gb of ram and to be honest im glad i made the change: running games in 64-bit improves fps in games by up to 20fps, vista also has better memory management than xp and directx10 graphics are amazing compared to dx9. conclusion dnt complain bout vista unless uve got a gaming rig tht can handle dx10 and u atleast hav 4gb of ram for gaming

I am still wondering if it is really a good solution to deploy Windows vista in a large organization of about 1000 users?

@dak: To open the Task Manager in Vista you press “CTRL – SHIFT – ESC”.

stick with XP everybody, iv got Vista installed twice and it has issues. Its just unstable and freezes on alot of applications. The ctrl-alt-del does not bring up task manager but another screen first.
The Task Manager is unreliable to close non responding programs i find also

Sales until 2009, but support extended to 2014! That means that even MS knows that XP is the best thing they’ve ever came up with :)
