Crysis looks far too good.

I would not recommend Vista at all, it is an unfinished program. Backwards compatibility is a fucking joke. Thankfully it's let me install Office 2000, but Works 2005 (which came with the new PC) is rejected because it's 'not compatible with the operating system'.

Works 2000, which has some nice programs like the World Atlas and that, also stops running a couple of seconds after you've begub to install it. My Broadband modem canot be installed properly, and the drivers BT Yahoo (the service providers) give you to remedy Vista being a tnuc dont work. So my Broadband is running at 1/5 of the speed of dialup. I have had to return to my old XP PC.

On one funny occasion I put in a CD of a cracked music software program. I can understand it not being compatible, because Vista is meant to be well geared up to stop piracy, but it didn't even recognise that a cd had been put in at all, it couldn't even read the attached word file.

Some things work, some things dont. I cant get my head around it. A PC that relies on you installing updates (that may never be made availiable for many old programs) to get programs working is a broken PC, simple as. With a little bit of effort Microsoft could have made it backwards compatible. I am unbelievably shocked at how badly they have treated people by putting this thing on the market ages before it has been finished. I've spent 700 quid on a PC that cant be used for my work.

If you want Vista wait 6 months or a year or two until they've actually finished making it.

Sorry, not really that interested in the IT thing, but thought I'd see how thin we can get the writing in the middle with numerous quotes within quotes. I'll stop now. I like it though, it's quite geometrically pleasing

The last time I tried it there was a severe ticking off, so don't do it Ok

why stop now.

this quote within a quote thing pleases me. this is what happens when i spend an entire sunday hitting the bong.

I hear the EXACT same thing!

Considering that the concept of Microsoft Windows was actually stolen from Xerox's "X-Wndows",I'd believe that to be pretty true.

Ah, bless. It goes proper wrong if you continue trust

there are lots of probs. And infuriating hardware support is just one. I do like some aspects of it, not least it being more responsive than XP.

but for production stick with XP. It works nice.

for games stick with XP until the Vista Directx 10 games are out. That could be some time.

but it'll be worth it for graphics that make game characters look this realisitc:

Vista seems a spin on i-Mac os like Lucky said, system spec is quite high but works well imo.

Make sure your soundcard brand support Vista for drivers.

yeah just got new laptop today which has vista. bits are cool, bits are fucking irritating especially system settings etc - it seems designed not to want to give you the information you want. It looks nice enough tho so i'll give it the benfit of the doubt so far...

vista is big on/off road. if you sticking with windows the it's better than xp
