Vista SP1 is proved to be faster than XP on my rig.
3930K | H100i | RIVF | 16GB DDR3 | GTX 480 | AX750 | 800D | 512GB SSD | 3TB HDD | Xonar DX | W8
Just like any other MS. OS , time to move on , Vista reminds me of MS millennium , soon to be outdated.
P.S. I'm waiting for MS Draxor OS , lol
I'm surprised they are waiting til 2014 to totally ditch XP. I would think it would be a lot sooner since Vista is becoming more stable with their updates.
I got an old win98 machine...I just downloaded and installed DirectX 10 for windows 98, your XP will be fine.max wrote:
I don't understand the problem. Old PCs already have an XP liscense, and why wouldn't you run vista on a new PC? And even if you have some weird fetish for XP, no one is going to stop you from installing it later on. I just installed win 95 on an ancient Pentium 66MHz. MS always stops selling the old version some time after the new OS is released. Good luck buying win 98 or something. With XP it's the same thing
Agreed, whats the big deal?

First result in Google.
My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.
beware... i manually installed it only to have my headphones stop working. i think they are still having some driver issues with the 64 bit service pack, so you might be better off waiting until you get it through auto-updates.Cheez wrote:

Vista driver support is still lacking, which is the primary reason I won't move over, and I can get it for free.
On mine too. I don't see the big deal with this, they stop selling it, so what. Like you can find a lot of computers pre-equipped with XP these days anyway anymore. An extremely large amount of the people have pirated copies of XP and have had them for years, so go figure.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

And Microsoft will continue to support the OS for quite a long time, who knows what will happen in hardware/software progress in the coming years? You'll all have forgotten XP (and maybe Vista) by that time anyway
