I did not have any problems in running Windows Vista. Time with Vista were really cool. I liked it. Windows 7 is awesome, yes, but Vista was not even close to that, what everybody said. I would like that the next Windows will be like W7, but it would give us gamers something also. Because there is a lot of space for improvments for us gamers.
wtf are you guys talkin about? nvlddmkm error????????' wtf is that? i'm a vista user and have nvidia graphics cards and never encountered that error....and the games all run on max....anyway i want win7 because i have only ONE vista prob. i always select disable in network and sharing center when i don't use the net and sometimes it doesn't disable it and if i click restart it doesn't do it! i don't know why so i always have to hit the reset button on my pc when it does that and i don't like it.
@xxxtoxxxandxxx Actually I just got my full money back from LG Electronics due to NVIDIA Video driver problems. Stay tuned, I will post it up - i also have an interview lined up with TV station for this soon.
in my opinion vista sucks, it's ok but it just sucks. they tried getting it to be so safe. the only way for it to run properly. is by not using it at all.
yours probably runs slow because your comp originally came with windows 2000 get a better comp i like vista and it has never crashed on me once and my internet is even faster than it was when i had xp
It came with Vista. i finally installed XP over it and now it works great.
ALL versions of vista even with 3gigram and great specs make stuff "stop responding" mostly games. but windows 7 is coming out so start talking about that because Vista is already dead.
Like i prolly wanna change to windows 7 cause yea i got great specs loved it but games crash because of nvlddmkm error or something :S So just asking i wanna change to windows 7 are all my files gone? Like what shud i prepare?
vista isn't so bad, I got basic and I CAN game. It just took a while for vista to release some updates, which goes without saying. All major OS launches were buggy at the start but are pretty great now a days.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Uh, Windows Vista is very shiny and pretty, but all this effects you can do with Aero I can do with Linux + Compiz Fusion, and I don't need a 400$ expensive OS and a high graficcard. The only reason why to buy Vista is Directx 10 and thats just for gamers, so buisness-people can live without Vista.
i was woundering i got my laptop upgraded to windows vista home premium and my graphics card couldn't enable windows aero and flip 3d and i hav an hp pavillion dv2000 and is it possible to upgrade my graphics card some 1 plz reply back.
I use Windows Vista™ Home Premium on my HP Pavilion tx1000. It has a built-in graphics card yet it displays the Aero interface beautifully with no performance issues whatsoever.
You should try enabling it - right-click on desktop, then on Personalize. Then select Windows Color and Appearance. Select 'Open classic appearance properties for more color options'. Under Color Scheme, select 'Windows Aero'.
If its not available, it can mean two things - you're running Home Basic or its your GPU.
all you guys shouldnt hate vista cause they dont work on your computer just buy a new one that come installed it beats wasting more money on updates and upgrades....
good point i never thought of it that way. i was woundering i got my laptop upgraded to windows vista home premium and it told me that it couldn't enable windows aero and flip 3d due to my graphics card and is it possible to upgrade my graphics card ? My laptop is an hp pavillion dv2000 im just woundering is it possible ?
wtf.. my window vista like crap.. i don't have those features in this video clip.. gay.. i don't even have window media center, and my bar isn't glass transparent.. and i don't have slide program change
There are loads of hidden stuff such as, if you want to rename a file windows only highlights the text and not the extention e.g. .AVI or .TXT. With flip 3D not many people know that you can use the scroll wheel on you mouse and also click on any of the windows to bring it to the front. You only need a 128mb 6800xt AGP video card Like me for it to run very well. But you will need about 2 gigs of ram and trust me, vista will be as stable as any MAC. MAC's do crash and have BSOD's as well.
Yeah you are right, but don't get me wrong, Apple has produced some really great stuff and is continuing to do so. I just get annoyed when some Mac users have nothing better to do than give windows allot of stick and of which allot of it is totally unfounded.
what are you talking about I have never known of a case where a mac user starts of a debate its always the windows user saying mac sucks or something else. I can see why after using something as horrible as vista it depresses people they paid all the money for vista & upgrading there PC to run it and crashes begin, and then there is mac running fine and it annoys windows users for that
Your comment is exactly what I'm talking about. Typical news blown out of all proportion by the media and hardcore Mac users. Vista really isn't that bad now that most of the bugs have been sorted. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people in the near future will say that its one of the best. I have Ultimate x64 and it's running like a dream and it has been reported that I'm not the only one.
any video's comments dealing with vista is always vista sucks, and blue screen of death. Hows this? Your UI is not customisable. We can change color, and even themes. Your stuck with ugly gray. Ur move...
we don't have grey we have a nice aqua blue and it don't need to be customized because it already looks too nice. your just wasting your time will your beloved windows PC isn't crashing
my pc has never crashed, becuase if you get a reliable pc from a reliable company, your computer will never suck. I hope you like macs, becuase no one else exept people on youtube do too. And don't tell me that the share has gone up (snicker) 1% (joke) because i know. I!!! Don't like the gui for apple, and if i can't customize it, then why bother? Vista doesn't crash that much anyways.
its gone up 33% in the last 2 years, OMG your insane, I have vista on my PC downstairs quite a good one I guess 2GB ram 120GB hard drive 3.95Ghz P4 and it still crashes
I have never seen a 4.00ghz p4. And that was a joke, that market share thing. And if u really need a program from the internet to customize the ui then somthings wrong.
btw you can customize it in system preferences and then appearance, and you can download stuff like to make the dock look different and stuff I like to keep things default though
The funny thing about the 'bloatware' in Vista is that you can turn almost everything off. If you don't like a function, then don't use it or delete it. The gadget-bar, and any other thing that supposedly make Vista soooooo much slower you can just turn the fuck off.
Hey there, I know what u mean, Some people are pissed cos manufactures are slow to write drivers. I think the reason for this is actually good. Microsoft has made it harder to produce crap drivers of which can only be better for everyone :)
Yeah, now they should advertise thier performance with linux xgl/compiz/beryl. Windows vista is nothing compared to Linux lol. I'm practically lmfao right now just watching how crappy vista is lol.
Rjnicko: Can you please elaborate at all? I'm interested in hearing about the differences from someone who actually uses them both (as opposed to all the fanboys). In which ways is OSX better?
OS X is a lot more safer but then again vita is secure OS X has many cool fidley features like dashboard spot light etc then microsoft has sidebar thats like dashboard ill send a video today comparing OS X too Vista
lol my dated powerbook g4.. with 512ram can do half of that stuff.. id imagine itd run leopard which has all the features shown here... as well as several other extremly usefull ones...
and i know this is gonna sound cliche' but my mac running an old version of OSX does most of the features shown here... :E windows need to get with it...
Windows announced search and transparency and stuff first, but after they had to restart the entire Vista project after switching over to a new, more stable code base two years in, they fell behind in introducing this stuff... Damn it Microsoft!!! Come out with OS's SOONER after your announced features, so people don't copy your ideas and get to them first!!!
Shame that SLI setups won't be compatible with Vista. I heard that NVIDIA are currently working on inventing SLI drivers to make SLI compatible with Vista. Hope so, cos I got 2 NVIDIA 8800'S :P
You know what I don't understand...I've have the RTM version of Vista (the final version) but I don't get any effects like glass for example, because my pc isn't strong enough :S. But I can get the effects on Windows XP. WTF is up with that!!!
And Vista doesn't feel save at all.
PS: i don't hate Microsoft, just saying that Vista is not that interesting
Its also strange how this video fails to mention that, thanks to DirectX 10, Microsoft effectively bottlenecked the graphics card market. I guess from now on we'll have to start kissing Gate's ass every time we want an upgrade in graphics performance.
Everything Microsoft is introducing in Vista has been in OS X for centuries (not literally). Except that Vista, like every other version of windows, will probably contain more holes then Swiss cheese and be as stable as Charlie Manson.
On the other hand I'd need to take out a second mortgage to buy myself a decent Apple. Not to mention that software developers always favor Windows.
Give vista ultimate x64 a try, I actually think it's extremely stable and most of this stuff about viruses etc is just scare tac-tics to get u to buy poorly written anti virus stuff. If we use are computers relatively in the same way as each other then of coarse Microsoft's and Apple's OS's are going to have similar features cos we want them.
I have never used Virtual PC 2007 and I am not sure about 16bit programs but all 32bit programs should work. When you install a 32bit program windows creates a folder called "Program Files x86" then all 32bit programs will by default install into that folder.
It is weird but all these new thing that requires 3d process and a lot of money on the graphic card are already available on Mac os X and it does not need a graphic card, intel gma 950 integrated to all macbook is enough

On the other hand I'd need to take out a second mortgage to buy myself a decent Apple. Not to mention that software developers always favor Windows.
Hmm... decisions, decisions

Give vista ultimate x64 a try, I actually think it's extremely stable and most of this stuff about viruses etc is just scare tac-tics to get u to buy poorly written anti virus stuff. If we use are computers relatively in the same way as each other then of coarse Microsoft's and Apple's OS's are going to have similar features cos we want them.

Does Virtual PC 2007 work with x64 versions of Vista (so I can run my 32 bit and 16 bit programs)?
mrivera1 4 years ago
I have never used Virtual PC 2007 and I am not sure about 16bit programs but all 32bit programs should work. When you install a 32bit program windows creates a folder called "Program Files x86" then all 32bit programs will by default install into that folder.

Buy an iMac, when you buy a new pc to be able to run Vista. An iMac can run both OS X and Vista!!
OS X has far cooler effect than Vista including more and better looking wigdets/gadgets

Because??
I have exactly the same look even the glass effect, but I use XP.
Tell what Vista has over Xp accept the Alt-Tab and windows button+Tab
And don't tell that it's more secure because you know that the first virus will probably show up within the first month.
Vista is not worth $400

It is weird but all these new thing that requires 3d process and a lot of money on the graphic card are already available on Mac os X and it does not need a graphic card, intel gma 950 integrated to all macbook is enough

Konfabulator sucks! Vista is the best!

1. "with premium versions of Windows Vista"
2. New taskbar and flip are poor immitations of the OS X dock and Expose.
3. Widgets? Oh, you mean like Konfabulator? (Yahoo Widget Engine)
Basically, it'll be OS X without the stability.
