I recently upgraded to Vista from XP, and... I really like it. What's everyone's problem with it? It doesn't seem any slower or less stable or anything.

For some reason, my Vista partiton freezes less often than my Kubuntu partition.

the reason people didn't like it when it came out was pretty much just the lack of driver support and it's resource heavy but after sp1 it's faster and the companies started making drivers for it.

It depends on the number of cores?

"Compared with Windows XP, Vista delivered database transaction times that were a full 92 percent slower on our dual-core test bed. However, when the focus shifted to our quad-core system, the performance gap with XP narrowed to just 19 percent."

at first, my vista laptop was slooooooow. like, couldn't barely render the little 3d graphics it does when it's deleting or moving files or whatnot. but, over time, it seemed to get better, until now It's my main pc. I did have a motherboard problem at some point, but that wasn't vista's fault.

Two fav things about vista - 1. The start-up time from stand-by is like 3 seconds. 2. connecting to a wi-fi and setting up a network has never been so easy.

I had a friend who brought a laptop with XP and his wifi connected way faster than my laptop with Vista. I think Vista = slow.

i think your wireless adapter and/or driver = shit.

I think you're a M$ shill. Vista is very buggy.

and i think you're steve jobs' boyfriend. that doesn't make it true.
you just want people to think xp is better than vista because "it's better than windows xp" is the only thing os x has going for it.

If it's not broke, don't fix it.
And for most purposes XP isn't broke.
There's also all of that DRMAIDS in Vista. Timebombs, anyone?

XP lacks basic features like bluetooth support, real ipv6 support, and a compositing window manager.

That doesn't seem to be much of an issue. I mean, they CAN be implemented in XP, i guess.
