So I upgraded Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate

[haywirepc]

I run vista and have not upgraded because of the same kind of stories I have heard from many people. It took me ages to get vista working as good as my old win2k or xp computer.
 
I really think windows just gets worse and worse with each renaming.
 
Vista runs like shit on my quad core computer, programs crash all the time, then it annoys me asking about reporting it to microsoft...It came with my pc, so I stuck with it. Someday when I have time, I'm going to wipe out vista and install windows 2000 server.
 
Yes I'd rather run a 10 year old os if that means more stability, less interference from microsoft, less eye candy, less of everything that annoys me about windows. Unfortunately, many of us still need to deal with the nightmare called windows for work...
 
I feel your pain... My best advice? Rollback to xp or win2k server.

I did not upgrade, vista came with this pc. I have a friend who's a video editor, he's always upgrading to the latest and greatest pc, so he sold me this quad core pc cheap and it came with vista.
 
Xp or win2k would have been my choice. I haven't run into any programs win2k won't run yet, but I'm sure your right, and there are many third party add ons for xp that make it have as much eye candy as vista if thats what you want...
 
As far as xp/vista I just can't stand the interference from microsoft, like reporting errors, downloading updates and all that nonsense. I don't want it, don't need it and it just gets on my nerves.
 
Most of the time, I run my linux pc, which also runs virtualbox with a windows xp installaion... Its been modded alot, running compiz, amigaos full install and its my favorite computer that I ever had...
 
This is older, now my amiga os is modded and got alot more
programs installed...But
