|
|
I just got a Vista computer, and I must say that I love it.
I bought an off the shelf HP. Added a gig of RAM and the second best graphics card Best Buy had.
I just love the way it feels, and the new security features (if they actually help). All in all it is a fine operating system. Just don't expect all Windows XP progs to work with it. On the up side, they usually put out patches for the progs to make them compatible. |

My dad has vista and I like it a lot.

I've been playing games on it for a while now, and I havn't had any problems. Most games have patches that make them DirectX 10 Compatible. |

| I tried Vista for about a week and I hated it so I reformatted my HDD and installed Windows. Not a single program would work unless I wanted to spend hours editing program files for it to work. |
