dumble Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I voted XP, but i made a dualboot with linux UBUNTUI am testing it now for over 1 month and it's amazing what you can do with ubuntu, you just have to see the 3de effects you can enable .. look up some movies on youtube and you can see B)There is a live CD of ubuntu where you can test it and you don't have to install it, it just runs from the cd .. (it is slower ofcourse than when you install it on you HD, but it's only for testing)I think that in a few years i don't need windows anymore ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how lang ago you tested ubuntu but there is alot changed, wine is also improved and gets updates every month or more.. Games are the only problem.. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'd be surprised to see much/any vista voters... I guess vista still has a long way too go. But i expect eventually it'll get better, or we'll get used to it's slowness. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 No1 likes Linux?!?Guess they do but the title does say 'XP or VISTA'. So i wouldn't be surpised if Linux users would skip this. I never used it but my friend does recommend it. He says it's faster, looks better and has less virusses(i'm sure of that one). But i have computer's which more people use so it'll take soem time for them to get used and they don't like it if i change the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATE9X Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Believe me, I earn a living from this app(PS). Gimp is cool, but if you want PRO, then you have to switch to Adobe.I thought it was possible to run Phostoshop on Linux with Wine..? ;) But yeah, for me it's XP too, been to Vista, even after "vLiting" (vLite) & tweaking services to minimum etc. it was still much more of a resource hog than XP is..& nVidia's drivers altho already close to XP's drivers' performance are still quite a lot worse than XP's..And umm yeah.. I'd only try it again after getting a new rig.. It sure looks sexy but has lots of performance quirks.. Seems it needs a shot of Viagra.. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filenox Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm using here at home these operating systems;- Windows XP Home Edition SP2 -->DuAL BoOT<-- Arch Linux- Windows XP Home Edition SP2- Windows XP Professional - laptop -- Arch Linux - laptop -- Mac OS X 10.5.2 and XP - Vmware Fusion -I tested Windows Vista when it was beta-2- (oktober 2005), it looked good for a beta, but the system requirements were quite high.Try out 2 was in januari, when Vista was RTM, it looked better, but not really that stable as XPTry out 3 was a month or 2 ago, same conclusion as in januari, it looks nice, but XP is still more stable and faster.Try Out 1 and 2 where on a Celeron 2.4Ghz, with 1.5gigs of RAMTry out 3 was on a Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, with 2gigs of RAM*sorry for my bad English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 It's simply for me: XP-XP can do all you want with suitable program, Vista not.-XP is more stable now.-Software available for XP.-Easy controls, autostarts, disabling services, editing registry......You get more control.
