Vista Business has been available for students and businesses for a very long time...

Is there a meter that shows how much of your soul Microsoft now owns?

Their website claims 23% lower than XP.

Are you done spamming yet, Slade?

Yes it has, and I have yet to use it. I think it'd be fun for kicks but I'm not planning to use it seriously any time soon, even a year from now I'm planning to use XP still, especially if the privacy statements hold true.

[Xenogias]

i love that video, haha. I gaurantee its easier on OSX than vista too.

[turbox997]

haha, that's a funny video...almost makes me curious of OSX now. bah well... Long live freedom..freedom of parts and hardware..and overclocking...long live the PC(whichever OS it's running)!

[Blknoel]

I'm curious about how responsive Vista is compared to XP, and how many processes run in the background as well as how much ram/resources they occupy/utilise.

[hewi]

I tried the 32Bit Ultimate version for a few days, and while it was nice looking and had some cool features I still went back to my trusty XP pro. I guess im limited by my 2gb ram since Vista takes it's time when opening app's etc. just not nearly as snappy and responsive as XP is ( in my case ). Driver support has improved alot though, the only thing i couldnt get working was my Buffalo Wlan, chipset, GPU, X-Fi, antivirus, mirc etc. all worked fine.

Vista rating gave my current setup 5.3 stars out of 5.9, dunno how it measures stuff, but I guess I got a glimpse of all that eyecandy...which I don't really need/want.

So I think i'll wait for XSOS3, lol

[Keiki]

well i must say that Vista is not bad OS atm just don't try to play any games with it

[G.Foyle]

I'm using Vista Business x86 and it's not so bad, if you have good rig it's just as responsive as XP pro. Vista has never let me down except that PunkBuster kept kicking me in BF2142 until i figured out to run BF as an administrator . But i must admit taht it's surely not worth the money. You better go buy yourself some hardware i have Vosta for free, otherwise i wouldn't even consider buying it. Most of improvements sholud have been made in Windows 98, since they improve things that are in Windows since Win95. To think that it has taken Microsoft 12 years to think of features that i have thought about 12 years ago...

Thinking about, and actually implementing, are 2 different things

2 days ago I tried Vista x64 RTM. 3D benches were terrible and I couln't find a single tool work that would allow nvidia card overclocking. Let's hope drivers become better and better

WCG was fine. There are also X-fi drivers that work, not as good as on XP though

[jbizzler]

Vista is faster in my case, and I do enjoy the eyecandy. I am yet to find any games that dont' work. I've tried everythign I have on Steam, UT2004, Oblivion, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Quake 4, FEAR, and Company of Heroes. FEAR had a little performance loss. The rest run fine, and Company of Heroes runs much better. Eagerly awaiting Supreme Commander, Crysis, and World in Conflict.

vista ultimate x86 runs tits for me and I am staying with it, FEAR performed identical for me.

same thing lots pf people said when XP first came out.
Vista will be better than XP in time.

[Sparky]

For those who have no trouble with vista, are you on 64 or 32 bit?

[oozberg]

I get Windows Vista Business for free from my university, but I haven't bother to install it yet, I'll stick with osx

[flashnc]

from what ive read, it seems the 64bit version is having the most concerns with programs etc not working, or no drivers .....

Id expect those all to run, there all pretty much modern games. I bet there will be probs with older games.
