No, I’m referring to the pirated “Windows XP SP3 ‘Black Edition’ 2007” It was never officially released, apparently.

Uhh…don’t get Black Edition…it comes pre-loaded with a bunch of BS and virus’s. Been there done that. I used a XP SP2 Student Edition (one license and doesn’t ever expire) that I patch to latest SP’s and updates by using a utility called nLite. vLite is for Vista. ---

whatever my next pc will be, it will be running vista 64bit. If this thing comes with it then thats a huge plus for me. ---

Yeah if you don’t play games, Vista is nice (pending you have the specs to run it). However, if you’re a gamer (like me)…Vista is the biggest POS on the planet. ---

I’d use to agree with you… not so much anymore, drivers have gotten a lot better and the FPS drop is minimal at best between XP and vista now… ---

I’ve been running Windows 7 beta 64bit for about a week now. It runs faster than vista 64bit on my machine and I have no problem playing games. With Vista 64bit I wasn’t able to even play Far Cry 2, but now with windows 7, I can play all the games, I just picked up FEAR 2 and it plays awesome!! It seems to be very stable as well. I only had a weird issue with my USB flash drive once, I plugged it in and then I would open my computer, only to see a empty window. I just restarted and it everything is fine. ---

> [@Shady"](#): > > I’d use to agree with you… > > not so much anymore, drivers have gotten a lot better and the FPS drop is minimal at best between XP and vista now… One thing against Vista is really just the memory use, if you don’t have at least 4 gigs of RAM it makes it hard to play any new games. Windows 7 on my machine has been using about 1.5gigs on idle which is about 500megs less than vista. ---
