I feel like a I got a new Notebook! XP FTW!

Just moved back to XP from Vista, and it feels much much better and faster!!!

Yes, I did tweak Vista properly + had SP1 installed and disabled all the unneeded services like error reporting, ready boost, classical theme enabled, aero off, but still, it was like like a ***** even on my system which I consider pretty good with 3 GB RAM!


XP Does everything I want with twice the speed! XP is a real OS! Vista is just what MS wanted to come out with to make more money but didn't really offer anything worth taking home!

XP FTW! kthxbye

 

You sure makes alot of fanboy threads.

The choice of OS is depended on the person's taste and needs; therefore, there isn't "the best" OS. Additionally, we don't need another thread on the same issue of XP is better than Vista. We have enough of them already.

 

I'm just trying to express my happiness if you don't like my thread then don't click on it as teh t!tl3 $ugg3$+$

KTHXBYE

 

Try going back to Win98, it will be 3 times faster than XP.

I'm not sure what's wrong with your computer, but XP is definitely not twice as fast as Vista on my laptop, they're actually pretty close.

 

That's fine. I just noticed that you expressed your happiness quite often.....
other than that, congrates on finding the right OS....////

 

I dunno what's up. my score is only 3.6 surprisingly, my friend who has a slightly slower dual core CPU (he only has 2.0 GHz. I have 2.16 GHz.) gets a 4.0 score.

Maybe my graphics chipset is utter crap

 

Thanks alot bro! you're my friend

 

That score is actually the base score, it's not the average score. In another word, Vista will just take the lowest score as the base score. It doesn't really mean your system is worst than your friend's. Maybe you just have a lower graphic score than your friend.

 

Either ways, Vista offers meh nothing that makes me not get tempted with teh responsiveness of teh XP FTW

 

To each his own. Vista is not to my liking either, but if others prefer that OS, best to them.

@OP: I'm assuming you meant "twice as fast" as a simple figure of speech? I doubt seriously that XP is twice as fast as Vista.

 

I'm running dual-boot with Vista and XP. Vista boots a bit faster for me though.

 

Windows Experience Index is a piece of crap.

 

Yay another one of these threads...

 

can we please type in english? t!tl3 is spelled title in case you didn't notice. I have no idea what that next word is supposed to be. Anf finally funny thing, kthxbye is really three words of which you managed to misspell two of them. Ok thanks bye would make more sense.

Thanks

 

MsDos 7.0 will perform at least 20x faster, why not downgrade to it?

 

Vista is the most secure OS developed in the Windows platform.

 

You are absolutely right my friend.

 

Yeaaaah right!!!! just coz of that annoying UAC protection which bothers for everything! Running files, deleting, renaming, etc...

 

UAC You do realize you can disable that right? But what do you care this thread was never intended to be constructive, just trolling.

 

Yeah so what? the only secure OS is Linux or Apple. I just gave a good AV (NOD32) thank u

 

On what grounds do you base the statement that Linux and Apple are the only secure OS's?

 

What other popular OS is there that I don't know of?

 

UAC doesn't interfere with renaming, deleting, etc.
Not only UAC makes Vista secure, but a completely re-written kernel.

 

Edited

XP speed FTW

 

Linux. Try that

 

Yup, you're right. I just don't get it anymore. We have one of these every few days. I don't know why the mods don't start shutting threads like this down.

 

That doesn't explain why you think they're so much more secure than Vista.

 

congrats on your XP OS choice. Vista is not for everyone and neither is XP. Live well, be happy, get on. Why bother defending your choice of OS? You don't have to!

 

Its so people like the OP can feel like badasses and iconoclasts for not going with the newest thing on the block. Then ranting about how just because their experience was favorable, that OS is automatically the best.

 

Oh boy, here we go again.
I'll say I just moved back to Vista from XP and I'm never going back, vista is smooth , nice and very cool to use compared to the old and dull xp.

 

Yes, you've made your effing point about 20 times now. How about you take this crap elsewhere since people have had enough of these XP -vs- Vista topics.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot my computer gets hacked into on a daily basis. Any OS secure, it's the user who is the security issue, that's why you have UAC because people love to just open whatever junk there is out there. Also OS X and Linux OS use a UAC like security prompt when you need to perform an operation with root/admin privileges.

 

Dual Boot.

Problem Solved!

Bai Bai!

 

Haramf! hear hear Flipfire. These threads are getting really old really fast.

 

kthxbye

 

Best answer for Vista v/s XP threads.

Dual boot gives u best of both worlds.

 

It's that simple....

 

Some people are just better off in XP.
Some people are better off with MacOS.

Personal preference FTW!

 

ROFL!!

 

Curious, eleron as to whether you're serious or just joking here. I prefer XP (or, better still, Linux), but think all this arguing and bashing OSes is silly (please don't infer that I mean you're doing that. That's just my personal overall view on the issue in general).


Edit:

Perhaps, but how about OSX/Linux for those of us who don't game?

And, no, this isn't really a serious post, just a silly notion which crossed my mind while reading your post. lol

 

That's because it is a new laptop. When you uninstalled Vista and put on XP, a team of lightening fast gnomes came in and switched laptops when you blinked.

The XP gnomes strike again.

 

gnomes?? where do I get them from man?? are they free? I wanna install them man to get more speed.

 

Security based on obscurity (for home users that is) doesn't count imo .

 

Thread is now closed before it goes OT or goes out of hand and turns in a Vista v. XP flamefest.
