XP was made to prove Microsoft could make a secure and user friendly OS. Vista was made to prove Microsoft could make an elegant looking OS. 7 was made to prove Microsoft could make an elegant OS with security and ease of use.

Wow, I have a feeling chugolug is on a mission to solve my problems and make me love Vista.

I'll take that. :) Thank you. This thread is finished now. I'll just accept vista wasn't made to be awesome, but rather to LOOK awesome.
Actually more like you might be using a shitty system.

That's your system? If you consider that to be a good system, you must be mistaken.

I didn't say it was the best.
But yes it is a 2008 computer, it only cost me 560$ so, pff when I get out of basic training and AIT I'll buy an alienware.
Most Alienware stuff is a rip-off, to be honest.

[QUOTE=Donutsalad;16720162]I know, have you seen those attack ads? They mean business. -_-[/QUOTE]
Apple has always been a step ahead of MS in terms of visual flair, but with Mac OS X, XP what outrageously behind. Hence Aero (partly)

Why would Vista run slow on an Intel GPU? If you turn off Aero, it really doesn't even use the GPU.
I got a laptop that has similar specs:
Core 2 Duo T6300 2.0ghz 45nm
4gb DDR2 RAM
Intel GMA X4500HD
I don't use it for gaming, and the very brief time I used Vista on it, it was speedy, even with all the Dell crap loaded on it; I even had Aero on. His computer really isn't that bad; not everyone needs an insane gaming rig, especially in a laptop.
It wasn't a very thorough test because I put Linux on it after using Vista for about 15 minutes.
you don't expect a bandwagoner to think to turn off aero do you?

How does Linux run in comparison to Vista?

I don't think he knows the meaning of the word troll.

Besides I can't be stupid, I scored very well on my ASVAB.
I'll just use whatever's new.
I used XP for like 5 years. Then I got Vista and never looked back. The only time I venture on to XP is to do Source Faceposing because the Source SDK doesn't work with Vista's sound API.

since steve jobs returned, because the other guy's an idiot in comparison, but apple is still a mass minority.

I have Source SDK downloaded, I haven't done anything that requires sound...wait faceposer I used that before. It worked fine for me.
I use to use XP at home and Vista on my school issued laptop. So I suppose, (in my opinion) I got a chance to compare them.

I think you were called "dumb" often when you were a kid. Or you are still a kid.
That's why you call everybody dumb, to let out your frustration.
Not everybody jerks off on his keyboard everytime vista boots.
