Hello OT users, what's your favorite Operating System?
I know lots of people hate Vista, but I use it and i have had really good luck with it.
I need Windows 7.:cry:
XP, I'm assuming? yup :cry: Windows XP is not all that bad, its kind of bland now that I have been using Vista for the past 3 or 4 days. Plus Vista helps optimise my 56k internet so posting on Game Spot is quite fast now compaired to when I did use XPI use W7 for games and Linux-Mint for everything else. Day-to-day computing on anything other then linux feels...odd.

I wanted to smash everything in his house after 5 minutes of waiting for a page to load. :P

I make sure to save my cookies so my computer can remembe where it's been and my page load time is quite quick. Now going to new websites is a pain in the ass. But with 56k internet cookies is like gold. It also helps that I have the signatures turned off. I keep on the avatars because its my way of identifying a user.

Vista is fine. The jump from Vista, as it is now, to Win 7 is not all that significant. While true, 7 sounds better from what I heard. my girlfriend's laptop has Windows 7 64 bit and it is quite amazing. Even the paint on windows 7 is great. But actually Vista works better on dial up than Win7. Go figure.[QUOTE="cybrcatter"][QUOTE="mitu123"] I have both XP and Vista.mitu123
Vista is fine. The jump from Vista, as it is now, to Win 7 is not all that significant. While true, 7 sounds better from what I heard. I don't have any experience with today's Vista, but Windows 7 was far more optimized that Vista when it first came out. They got rid of a lot of the bloatware that had infested the OS. They also fixed a lot of the compatibility issues that plagued Vista at the time. Vista was rushed out to compete with Mac.[QUOTE="cybrcatter"][QUOTE="mitu123"] I have both XP and Vista.mitu123

Yeah You Tube is deffenatly out of the question for 56k :P. But i live in a very rural area where there's no cable service or even low quality DSL. You bet your ass I would be using high speed if I had it avaiable to me. I don't have much problems with keeping 3 of 4 tabs open at a time. I just make sure that they all load at different times. If you really know how to use 56k right its not too bad. I just wish I could play XBL or PSN, and i always get bummed when I see videos posted.

This is very true, but it has been well optimized since SP2 onwards. 7 is still better, but there isn't nearly as big of a difference now between 7 and Vista than when Vista first came out.[QUOTE="cybrcatter"] Vista is fine.

Im using an older version of Vista, infact it came from a Lap Top my friend had. He had made a back up copy of it. Fully legal too. But I haven't had any problems with Vista. Its all up to date but im pretty sure my copy of Vista is quite dated. I got a dual core Del Dimension9100 with 3gb of RAM. And it all runs smooth for me. I don't know what my processer is running at but its much better than my old single core 3.2 pentitum d. That damn mb didn't even have USB 2.0 and I had to use a card in the back. Wich was quite inconvient.

Same here, I like XP. Tried 7 and I like it better. Time to get a new PC I guess

Maybe it's not made for it.:P I wouldn't consider Vista made for 56k either :P. But thankfully my gf's laptop still has a dialup port installed. And its quite new too. I don't know the exat model but its a Toshiba with a 19 inch screen! We all call it the tank lol.[QUOTE="cd_rom"][QUOTE="mitu123"] While true, 7 sounds better from what I heard.I don't have any experience with today's Vista, but Windows 7 was far more optimized that Vista when it first came out.

If it's fully updated, then you're not using an older version of Vista. You're using the latest version which, according to cybercatter, is fine.

Oh okay, im not too up to date on computer software and operating systems. I love how im using a OS made for a Lap Top. Something my one friend told me wouldn't work too well. But my other friend who I bought this computer from wasn't quite sure how it would work either. But thankfully everything is smooth and runs well.Windows 7 is my favorite. That said, we also have Vista, OSX (Tiger and Leo), XP, Linux Mint, and Amiga OS (both classic and the Linux-based remake) at home.
