thoughts?

 

Heard about this a few days ago. Pretty interesting, but also hard to believe that users who are 'anti-Vista' would not be able to tell it's the same OS with likely a makeover on the GUI. Still intriguing nonetheless...the thing that frustrates me the most is the fact that most people who 'hate Vista' haven't even used it in the last 12 months.

I don't consider myself a MS fanboy or anything, but I still can't understand all the hate Vista gets...personally I love it.

 

Obviously if they brought it home and actually used it, then there'd be a lot more frustrations.

However, I agree with d4nz0r as many people are hating on Vista without even using it. I'm still on XP, keeping an open mind until I try it.

 

I agree with both posters above me. Vista for me is better than XP, its better looking, thanks to the caching and superfetch everything opens up very fast and is just a pleasure to use.

Performance wise, with all its gone through sp1 and other updates its fast if you want it to be and likewise slow if you put bloat and start a million apps upon boot.

The networking which is a major part of buisness, especially xp to vista and vice versa, was just not their upon release, but now with sp1 its smooth and easy.

Another complaint was the hardware requirements, now a days most pc's and laptops are ready to run vista. If you have an older pc then use linux or xp or whatever. People who complain that it doesnt run on my machine are idiots, technological advancements will require more power, they dont have to be constrained just to those with less power.

Also those gamers who blab on about how XP gives better performance can just go to hell, I'd rather a smoother OS with 1% less fps in games if even true now, than XP.

 

A somewhat silly way to bring media attention to Vista again.

Those people weren't actually using the 'Mojave OS', they couldn't work with it, so they were 'watchers', not users.
What is the point to have people watch an OS.
The statement " I would say it's an awesome program but you'd have to see it yourself" says it all...
What's next, let folks look at Compiz-Fusion effects and have them claim Linux is the best OS in the world?

Microsoft seems unable to accept that people aren't going to buy new hardware to have a new OS. Only new hardware buyers will likely use Vista and with the economy as it is now, Vista will not get a boost from some recorded 'experiment'.
And if you're gonna sell a new OS like Vista and put out as the minimum requirement 512 MB and 1 GB as recommended, well then you simply deserve all the flak they got besides any other issues with it before SP1.

Edit; My remark about Compiz isn't meant as a dis towards Linux, I like Linux.

 

its great how they actually show this people who thought they knew everything by trusting reviewer or other people, without actually having a look at the system.

some of them got kinda angry and got their pride hurt LOL, i bet everytime they look at a windows computer they reminded of getting shamed, why not just admit you're wrong.

so people check out the real fact and figures before actually deciding to bash something

i always think windows vista is better than xp.

problem with vista when it launch is that the hardware partner (the ppl who manufacture computer parts) dont seems to support vista all that well. they got comfortable with xp and want to stick with xp. up until now the hardware/software maker seems to still insist on using xp.

if only creative x-fi would work with it...

 

Perhaps if Microsoft hadn't been so pig-headed and had actually been more open to the hardware vendors and giving them the info and access they needed to get their products up to speed (or, I should say, down to speed ) for _Vista, there would not have been so many hardware issues with _Vista - that little problem lies at the feet of Microsoft, not vendors who are somehow too wedded to XP.

In terms of efficiency and performance, XP is still better precisely because Microsoft intentionally designed _Vista to give more priority to the eye-candy than to actual performance. What do I mean? Microsoft designed the _Vista GUI to target the clueless consumer user, who equates a frozen screen with a frozen computer despite the fact that the user just asked the computer to do an massively CPU-intensive task, so what MS did was to ensure that the GUI would always get updated, so a consumer user could be happy that it was "doing" something because the mouse pointer would keep moving around, at the expense of actual throughput for processes like disk I/O - review some of the Microsoft whitepapers on the subject if you don't believe me.

 

As biased as the experiment is, it's still better than outright lying.

Conveniently forgot the minor subset of programs called "games" *coughcough*

 

Lol, just as I opened the link my computer locked up for a sec. I saw the spinny circle and everything!
Please note that this isn't Vista's fault but rather I messed with some settings and occasionally my HDD now pages madly. Will fix upon next reinstall soon enough anyways.

 

Lol ... Mac people are too busy thinking they are better than everyone that they don't need games. This is the base of a commercial I would make, it would be like ...

Apple Guy - "Hey did you play that new Call of Duty game?"

PC Dude - "Which one, you mean Call of Duty 4? I guess it's pretty new."

Apple Guy - "What do you mean Call of Duty 4? The first Call of Duty came out yesterday."

All I can say is and some and a little more ... games take FOREVER to come out on Mac ... On the experiment though I thought it was probably rigged, but still it proves the point that a lot of people hate Windows Vista for pretty much no reason at all.

These guys make some funny Mac vs. PC spoofs (anti-Mac)
