Ok heres my post > [@Shawn96VR-4](#): > > Windows Vista is amazing especially if you consider the underlying architecture. Aside from the new features, the new UX really completes the OS at least until this point. Yea, and everyone whining about Vista has no clue what you just said… but they know everything, go figure > [@hybrdthry911](#): > > if you have ever tried sharing a folder on a network the new vista system is far from easy. aparantly i dont own any folder in my computer. ive shut off all the noob bullshit but the ownership stuff is annoying. > > theres no way to select i want to own my whole fucking computer because im the only one using the whole fucking computer. took me forever to figure out how to share one folder. xp seems to be a lot more user friendly with networking. > > its funny how the **computers of today are 10x faster than those of not too long ago. and yet they arent any faster to boot up or run normal applications.** > > /rant I hope you were able to change the ownership of whatever folders/files all at once because its very easy… let me know if you need help with that , 2 seconds Vista IMO is just as easy if not easier than Xp for networking, sounds like a dumb statement but i guess it had to be said the thing about pc’s 10x faster etc goes hand in hand with newer functions and abilities and features and whatever the technical blabber is, today your doing a SHIT load more on your than 10 years ago If you dont believe it, go take a pc 10 eyars ago, and run a normal application of today that “hasnt changed” and you’ll find out 😃 software today demands sooo much more than yesterday > [@Shawn96VR-4](#): > > Software is more demanding. > > Also, maintaining UI ease and the **amount of functionality that Vista offers is an inverse relationship.** It’s like saying a NASA cockpit should have a steering wheel and a few gauges. It’s only going to get worse over time. > > People just think they can up and use a new **OS without any learning curve. Just not going to happen.** you have common sense, like I said before, everyone wants more and more and more , and then they dont want to learn… then they bitch cuz its different … shut up because your all gonna use it just like Xp > [@Shady](#): > > a lot of ppl cant exspect to move to a new OS and exspect everything to work the same - 1 :wtf can they expect ??? > [@Mk4 30R](#): > > cocky much? AMD IS THE BEST is a computer whiz/electronics master like K20 said lol his name isnt really helping AMD’s are great but these days they are behind and barecalona or w/e its called, has it ever came out? if it has… must of sucked… flagship cpu and i havent heard shit about it ? my core 2 extreme QX9650 FTW im sorry its truth spoken 🙂 > [@ninety1two40](#): > > Mac = :gay MAC is great, dont know your talking about… > [@jdaniels](#): > > I ROFL at this topic. > > ML6720/21/25 will run XP without any issues whatsoever, it’s a standard (POS) Gateway. I’ve done it 10-15 times at work already. There isn’t a single machine on the market that I haven’t been able to convert to XP and install all drivers for. The biggest problem I have ever run into is the “beanbag emulation device” that will show up on some Media Center oriented PC’s. Fear not, simply opening the IRBUS Driver’s INF file in Notepad and adding the device ID proves to work fine. > AMD falls short in all catagories. They were an AWESOME budget chip back in the day, but there isn’t a giant price gap now like there used to be. No contest, CORE 2’s FTW! > > As for switching to XP from Vista, I ask why? There isn’t a single (good) reason I can think of other than proprietary business software that you cannot afford to update! Even then, 90% of the software can be made to work by running it in Compatability mode w/UAC turned off. > > That is all… > > Oh, P.S. just to prove that it can be done (rather easily) [http://wp.randyr.net/computers/downgrade-from-vista-to-xp-on-gateway-laptop.html](http://wp.randyr.net/computers/downgrade-from-vista-to-xp-on-gateway-laptop.html) someone already did the work for you.

YOU are not 17 , of course I know that. 2 nonono i really do believe he has 30 years of experiance, there is plenty of people like that, i was agreeing with you saying, there def was software back then, as supporting what you said cuz some others questioned software even being around then. 3 as far as who is whining, everyone/anyone who says vista sucks because most of the arguments are n00bish like "oh there is popups all over confirming this and that’ etc etc what you said about “keep your dual cores” etc did sound liek you thought pentiums were not as good as amd’s etc but thats your opinion, I just check the specs and benchmarks and compatibility before i make any choices anyways whole time i typed that i wasnt thinking about you at all, just dont like people thinking they cant put xp on a new machine thats all. nothing personal to hooked on 240 either hes a cool guy for sure ---

I am not really into OC’ing so I stick with AMD due to the cheaper prices. I haven’t bought a chip in 6 months so I am not sure what has changed. I do like AMD though. ---

my father just put together another AMD system im eager to try it out. to singh yeah internet is tough to read people, but you quoted me, and then posted that rant under it. ive used Vista and i dont like the way its setup, pop ups suck, XP does it as well, but turning that off is a non-issue. i just dont like the start menu, which i know you can do a traditional format on it, but i still just am not pleased with it. but its the same way XP was after windows 98 and windows 2000… XP caught a bad wrap by some early on, but everyone has grown to love the way XP operates… the Pentium/centrino vs AMD vs MAC war is like the ford vs chevy vs dodge as much is the Linux vs XP/Vista… one does something better than the other and each has its following. id like to thank the moderator who starts so many new threads with me as the creator, i always look like the bad guy. thanks Guy. ---

yea they are using intel but dont they run alot better ? (i imagine its a ton cheaper to do intel tho for them) I’m not really into overclocking myself i mean if your gonna overclock you need to do it right or you wont see any real world performance, you have to have good hardware in the first place to overclock… the QX9650 overclocks extremely well, but then you really dont want to overclock it because how can you justify burning 1100 dollars if the thing dies ? I usually dont overclock new machines until a year later when they are total shit compared to what is out, then it really doesnt matter. sometimes you’ll get liek 25 fps in a game, in that case overclocking is very needed jsut to get over that 30fps hump. for 3d mark overclocking does amazing things, i went from 14k mark in 06 to well over 20 or 22k marks… ridiculous anyhow i just believe everyone will grow to love vista like you said about xp BUT i still believe its setup really dumb out the box ---

I’ve never had a problem with Vista from a user standpoint, once they released SP1, the OS improved drastically. From a network admin standpoint…it sucks trying to mass deploy Vista to user PC’s…Sysprep is alot more complicated in Vista vs XP. I’m actually working on that right now while I type lol, i get bored at work :sleep ---
