Just to words about this Vista thing :

It sucks

A 2600Ghz CPU, 1Gb ram and it's slow ?!

Good greef!

In fact, i'm surprised to see so many people liking it or at least taking it easly...

I'll keep with win2000 for minimum resources comsumption and XP (SP1 of course!) for the more powerful PCs.

Using winuae for great games :D
(winuae sometimes blow up when running serious workbench utilities :pissed:  )
Onions have layers ...

Also, do file requesters finally allow you to define your own favorite folders? I find it odd that MagicRequester on the Amiga allowed me to do this, but Windows still doesn't.


Well, simply because MagicRequester was made by someone who brought what users wanted unlike M$ who delivers what they want...

In the case of Vista : selling new PC hardware.

Who needs a new OS every 2 years ?
Who needs a "new" hibernation variantion ? Well it's faster in theory, but only matters if you use your PC as a multimedia centre.
Who needs a fancy 3D task switcher ?
Who needs a start menu that opens more quickly ?
Who believes in better security when the product cames from M$ ?

Who needs to sell hardware ? The industry, at our cost !


Don't go with the flock unless you really need to run that program who eventually will only run on Vista ...

If win2000 or XP (or linux, or MacOS, or even AmigaOS!) does the job, stick to it if you have no reason to charge. Remember that then you will have to spend more money buying RAM and eventually a new mboard with a faster CPU...

Just my humble advice.
But I think all of you know this, so stop reading :)
