Vista vs XP
Honestly, I take back all the bad things I've ever said about Vista. Granted, I still hear the low-end versions suck ass. But I've been running Vista Ultimate x64 and I am loving it. With 6GB of RAM and a dual core, it runs great.

Of course, it took a little bit of tweaking, such as getting rid of that stupid fucking abomination known as User Account Control. The only hitch I had on installing, was when I installed. I had XP installed on my other hard drive, and was installing on my new one. But when I installed, it detected some Windows files on the other HD that both versions use apparently. Didn't know that until after I'd transferred stuff to the new HD, and then formatted my old one. Suddenly, it wouldn't boot up. Had to go through some processes and took a few hours to transfer things back and forth multiple times, but I finally reinstalled it on the new HD and got everything going.

See, Vista is a good thing. It just has a big appetite of RAM.

32bit: XP

64bit: Vista

Honestly, Vistas requirements were well before it's time and it needed at least a grand dropped on a PC to get it working anywhere near as good as XP.

That "Vista Capable" shit pissed a lot of people who buy pre-built PCs. Those cheap systems were nowhere near good enough to run Vista, but they came with it anyways.

I'm hoping Windows 7 gets rid of this debate once and all and conquers all Windows. Might not even have that long to wait.....

Yeah, now that I like Vista, I am looking forward to Windows 7 a lot.

My IE still crashes anytime I hover over something with Flash, and I still don't know why and can thus only blame Vista

64-bit Vista? The 64 bit flash plugin is kinda gay in IE.

A build of Windows 7 has been leaked.... and I love it already.

It's Vista they just tweaked it. UAC remembers if you allowed a program and unless the hash as changed barely comes up anymore so you can leave it activated, which is a good thing because programs run in a protected registry when UAC is enabled.

On the exact same system I was using Vista on, everything seems quicker, apart from file transfers which are painfully slow still.

My only problem with it is the taskbar is more like the OSX Dock, which I hate

Vista network file transfers are oh so painful, and it really has nothing to do with the technology. I can usually have the files on a flash drive tranferred by the time Vista thinks its ready to start transferring the files by network.

I considered getting the leak, but I just formatted. Not really looking to do it again immediately.
