We're all beta testers...at least until SP2

TrueAirgo · Jun 16, 2006

If that's the case. I would say, even now after SP2 was released.

been playing with this on a Pentium D duo...2 gig of RAM...yada yada

Vista has ISSUES... a lot of bugs they need to clean up. I'll be a XP user for a while until these bugs are cleared

Most business will likely follow your route, going with 64bit/server versions of the other OS'es.......should help Linux.....

I downloaded Vista but never used it. This weekend I placed a spare drive in my PC and installed it and I have to say, it was one the worst OS (even beta) that I've ever used.

Maybe this is why Bill Gates backed his bags. :icon_conf

It's just such a bloated mess, even though so much has been removed / disabled...over 7gb....not counting other MS things needed......

I can already picture 4 x 2-gb ram modules not being enough to multitask everything.......

I tried the final ( i think) today on 2nd pc, seems to run smoother and use less resources for me (1gb ram).
Doubt i'd buy it , having sprung for dos 6.22 when it came out billy boy has had enough of my hard earned :drink:
