Windows Vista...

[The Link]

I don't see why people don't like it.

I think it is pretty cool, from what I have experienced thus far...

[Zod]

it would crash everytime I used Adobe lightroom

It still has flaws. I've had to reload Vista twice on my laptop. I haven't had any problems with it for about 3 months now so my fingers are crossed.

I enjoy Vista, but I'm not running any hardcore progs

[TerriblePizza]

Windows 7 is going to blow vista out of the water.

[Zod]

The best thing MS could do is create a "no bullshit" os for people like me. I don't care about all the bells and whistles, all the desktop and taskbar gimmicks.

Just give me a simple fast efficient OS that will run third party applications reliably.

Or I could just get a mac.

Vista is not bad but it has too many drawbacks.

7 should blow it out of the water. I get to hear all the guys talk about it down at Microsoft every Thursday when I am down there and they are all jacked up about 7. They laugh when I ask them about vista.

[Zod]

so whats so great about 7?

[cookinwithgas]

I actually like Vista, although it would be great if it loaded faster, and the UAC was fixed. Windows 7 addresses both those concerns.

I've played with the Beta and it's got some interesting changes....no doubt Microsoft needs a big hit with this one.

[TerriblePizza]

The biggest thing is it runs much faster than Vista. Its everything Vista should have been.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Good, guess I'll be dual-booting 7 and Ubuntu soon.

I got a cousin who does work like you and he uses a mac and says it's perfect for his kind of work.

Says vista would just slow him down.

What distro of Ubuntu do you run?

[Darth Biscuit]

Never used it, not once. We have XP on all our office systems and it works great. I also never used Windows 98, ME or 2000. I went from 95 to NT to XP.
