  • I use XP. It's all I have right now. I expect to be getting Vista by the end of the year though, when I get a new laptop.

  • You must have done something wrong cause i have been running it since the day it came out and i have not got one error or blue screen what anti virus do you have cause norton gives errors windows live one care is the best i use and its cheap.

    I use CA Security Suite which has it's own version thats compatible with Vista. I think its a hardware/driver compatibility problem. I often get a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or something like that, and often times it gives a problem with NETIO.SYS.

    Well its not the security suite I don't know whats wrong with the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error i never had that but the NETIO.SYS is a Network I/O Subsystem so what are you using for your network is it wired or wirelessed if it is wired then are you running it of teh motherboard or a card then if its wireless what card or adapter are you using.

    No your machine just needs to be able to hanlde the UI of vista mine boots up in about 1minute and takes 30 seconds to logon.
    Im so sick of people putting vista down just because they can't handle it on their system it doesn't crash if you know what you are doing. It won't take long to do anything if you set it up right. and for godsakes its a new system its sure to have some bugs thats what everyone said with XP now everyone is like oh its so good thats what isgoing to happen to vista soon enough.

    Windows XP Home Edtion

    I probably wont get Vista until they tweak it up to standard. Sure it looks nice but if it cant run some applications it needs to be fixed.

    DO you have the latest driver theres one that came out a couple of weeks ago. and What is your isp and what router do you use.

    Niwa: Vista is a better os then xp and tons of software will run on it do use the virtual enviroment option for xp or earlier software.

    XD... Huh ok.

    What I like about Vista is only the design and some features. The rest, I don't like it.

  • Vista is newer and therefore better (Going off consumer logic).

    Vista has features like 3D effects, "efficiently" using hardware and eating up harddisk space.
