Vista or XP?

[MPwannadecentincome]

File searching is faster, hmmm, that's it.

Stick with XP.

I also find XP startup times are faster - and IE doesn't crash or hang on XP - I am plagued with this on my wife's Vista.

It is until you switch off the behind-the-scenes-indexing because that causes it to take forever to copy files around.

Ah, so that's why pasting took so blooming long...

Long live XP! Does all I need it to - why would I want to change?

I thought it was the DRM slowing things down, not indexing....

I have 7 on my laptop at the moment and I think it's great.

WHS

Why is everybody convinced 7 is great and Vista is pants? It's the same OS with a different task bar.

According to Mark Russinovich there are some performance and scalability improvements in the Windows 7 kernel. Having used it for the last few weeks it does appear to be much quicker than Vista from what I've seen so far.

I don't use either, don't use Internet Exploder, don't use M$ Office, and I would just like to be smug

I use Vista all day, every day. 100% fast and reliable never had any application crash.

I think the problem is the idiots that use it don't have a ******* clue.

HTH

Even "Internet Explorer"?

Version 7 is rock solid on my machines.

Windows 7 == KDE

So you need "a clue" to use it? Not ready for prime time then?
