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.

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.

dear fucking god that's an awful system, let me guess intel graphics 2008 my arse
That's your system? If you consider that to be a good system, you must be mistaken.

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)

[QUOTE=reapaninja;16721567]dear fucking god that's an awful system, let me guess intel graphics 2008 my arse[/QUOTE] 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? [editline]09:29PM[/editline] gods where are the mods, this thread needed be locked a long time ago

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.

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. "Forum Rules. READ BEFORE MAKING A NEW THREAD.
