Well at least MS did something right. Windows Vista owns!

I may be anti-X360 and pro-PS3, but I will admit, Windows Vista is an awesome upgrade from XP. In fact, I upgraded my notebook to Vista Business (I'm a business man). The interface KILLS that of XP, but unfortunately I cannot use the Aero feature because my video card isn't powerful enough. But I am amazed at how everything runs SO much faster than on XP. It's like my PC suddenly got way faster. I also like the sound effects in Vista.

By the way, I have an IBM ThinkPad T43, and would like to upgrade the graphics card, if possible. Is there a way to do this? I think it currently has 64 MB video RAM, but I need 128 MB to run windows Aero.

Vista does own. Start reading about Superfetch. It DRAMATICALLY increases response time for programs you run fairly often.

That's what I thought.  Vista is a massive system hog.  Bad enough to make me wonder what MS is actually doing and running inside my PC. 

Plus, if he loves Vista so much and did his homework he shoul dhave just bought a Mac.  Vista is just a rip off of OSX only much less efficient and less user friendly.

another OS system MS copied huh? All the reviews I have read said the system wasnt so good. I personally dont put any MS OS on my PC because they allow too many viruses (from my past experiences). Linux and Mac OS X>>>>>>>Any Windows Product

boy do you speak the truth there. Makes me laugh when PC owners just rip into Mac OS time and time again. Funny how Windows now is a rip off of Mac OS X from 1999. Every Mac owner I know including me is an ex PC owner. Install and uninstall 30 programs and leave windows to cook for 12 months, and it don't need a virus to give it a break down, it does just fine on it's own. Install a new graphics board on top and you can kiss any reliability goodbye for good.

Same with the new Internet Explorer "It uses how much of my computers power to run?!?" Firefox FTW! I've seen some demos at Staples. It doesn't seem much more than a flashy X.P. More like the upgrade from 95 to 98. Not the huge difference that 2000 to X.P. was.

Sorry vista suxs I will hate being forced into it, becuse it asks me everytime when a program run is it allowed to run, man that's the pits, it will drive me crazy. You see that apple commercial with the apple, pc, and security guy. The apple asks the PC a question and everytime the apple speaks the security guy says allow, ignore, or cancel. The PC guy gets frustrated with the security guy. So freaking funny, and the apple asks why not turn him off and the pc dude replies oh well why would I do that it keeps me safe. Oh man does M$ need to go back to school, or what. Vista sucks, doesn't even have any good stuff that was supposed make it better like the new file system.

gaming purposes, then Windows is better, but other than that Linux > Windows in every way.

only someone with no deep knowledge about software will say otherwise.
