i'm really curious how different the networking/users/sharing kinda crap has changed from XP. the next comp i order for our office will most likely have Vista and i'm wondering how many headaches i'm gonna be getting...

I hear there are many bugs that havent been fixed yet. You will have to wait for updates to avoid headaches

I have it... Dont bother getting it lol. I went out and bought XP... Vista is so shitty, half my programs dont even run on it (Itunes is one of them, pretty pissed about that tongue

)

I didn't bother getting it, I did get the 64-bit Windows XP Professional a while ago though, when I installed that it was a nightmare - program compatibility issues. Yeap, bet Vista is no different...but one thing is for sure.....

VISTA IS PRETTY!

www.tomshardware.com did some benchmarking tests with xp vs. vista.

they took to identical computers, identical equipment and loaded one with xp and one with vista, they ran a bunch of programs and games and the computer with xp performed faster across on 90% of the applications.

pretty scarry huh?

well i have vista and biggest problem so far is windows movie maker/windows dvd maker

i also have to run a lot of programs as administrator and it took me a while to get d2 to run on vista

i wouldnt recommend anyone to buy this for a while until a service pack is released

I recently bought some new computers for my busniness and they came with vistas loaded...after only a few days of my IT guys whining I new that it was a mistake...so I purchased XP Pro for them all and had them and started over. Networking issues, compatibility issues, etc, etc.
