Vista, XP and Seven – To Be or Not To Be

The Pirate Wallpaper

Despite all of the scathing reviews of Windows Vista, I felt I needed to experience it first hand before I could formulate an opinion about it. Being a Computer Repair/Troubleshooter Tech here in my area, I needed to know it, so I purchased a copy and installed it on one of my systems. I made sure all of my hardware was Vista ready and in no time at all, I was running Vista! Now I have a few different systems, a Dell Desktop that the kids use, My Dell laptop and 2 Dell Desktop systems in my office. I decided to put Vista on a system I built myself with an AMD Sempron processor. I began to experience what my customers were complaining about. I used my Vista rig almost exclusively for 4 months. It was so difficult to network I finally wiped my drive and went back to XP SP2. Why? Because XP is efficient, Vista isn’t. Sharing files with other PCs and My 3 Tivos was pretty hard. Now I’m Vista Free and XP Carefree! XP is easy to share printers, Vista is not. XP breezes through Office Docs, Vista sometimes couldn’t open Word documents. Sending files to and fro between XP machines and Macs, a breeze, using Vista, most of the time doesn’t work. Vista is a safer OS right out of the box, but if you’re security-minded you can be just as safe with XP. Vista seems to be so bad Microsoft is preparing the release of Windows 7. Kind of reminds me what happened after the horrible Windows ME came out. Why call it Windows Seven? 1. Windows 95 2. Windows 98 3. Windows ME 4. Windows 2000 5. Windows XP 6. Windows Vista 7. Windows 7. Good enough reason?

    Theres nothing wrong with Vista! :p

    It is one of the most stable operating systems I’ve ever used! The only people who arent satisfied with Vista are the tech experts who think it doesnt have enough functionality.

    Anyway great find! HHahha. its made my day :D
