Abort, Retry, Fail?

How fun; mini-vacation ended, what a great message…

Both Win7 and Vista, basically, have “the same damn architecture” as Windows
2000.

-Thanks for making that point.

Nonsense. Do your homework before spouting off, please.

-Peter, I’d like to see a system along with its peripherals that CAN run
Windows 7 but NOT Vista.
That was my point… I understand the dispatcher lock was re-worked, but
that doesn’t have a damn
thing to do with upgrading a now older machine from XP to Vista two years
ago when the Vista
smear campaign began. Further, the number of processors supported didn’t
matter to home users
two years ago nor does it today; the Personal Computer market is where most
the hell is being raised.

-My homework has been done over the last year; “INCOMPATIABLE” devices in
general work
just fine threw my own personal experience. Yes, there are improvements -
this should be expected.
Between 2000 and XP, I would expect them. Between XP and Vista, there were a
lot. Between Vista and
Windows 7 - hell yeah, there better be some. Never the less, Vista by no
means falls into the ME
category nor should it.

-Given your logic, with the specific things you pointed out, Vista, XP,
2000, and NT should all fall into
the same shit slot for the exact same reasons. Perhaps you’ve been having
too much ‘coffee’ with Anton.

But it was not OUR point. We just told that our personal experience with
Win7 is much better than with Vista. Both can run on the same hw but
Win7 behaves better. Peter gave you some technical info about reasons.
I’ll add a purely personal user’s point of view. Vista is exceptionally
annoying for me even with UAC disabled. I can’t tell exact reason but
when I have to work with it for about a hour, I’m screaming for murder,
my blood presure enters dangerous values and my coworkers ask me to boot
XP :wink: Nothing like this with Win7, it doesn’t annoy me more than XP.

Vista = slow, bloated, and annoying.

Win7 = Much leaner, much faster, much less annoying… on same hardware with save devices.

QED,

For Vista, don’t forget neurotic and tedious
