Why Flaming Poultice Ditched Microsoft Vista
The Epson Status Monitor, which checks my printer for ink levels, won't work under Vista. None of the ArcSoft Photo Impression software will work under Vista. Run the Vista Advisor but be prepared for problems with some of your software and hardware regardless of what Vista Advisor says. ...but, I thought the

Vista any good ?
I have Vista Home Premium which is not supported in VM 2007 according to the documentation or when I installed it. The good news is, except for not being able to access my hardware (Modem and such because Home Premium doesn't allow hardware Virtualization) The program is working enough I can use it to run my

8.2 Linux, I Give Up
My system should be able to run just about anything, but Gothic 3 and Oblivion, both can drag it down with the game maxed out. Crysis will be as hardware-scalable in the user-accessible options as Far Cry. If you insist on 1600x1200 with full AA and full aniso on your crappy hardware, you get what you deserve.

Vista is a peice of %^$#@!!!!
I upgraded my hardware in 2002, because my AMD 450K2 and Intel Celeron 333 MHz could not run Windows XP adequately. It will run Vista well enough, I expect (if I ever buy it) See above. People need to understand they need to spend more money. Vista will cost some but it is very important to have ultimate power

Vista Business will not install
I also did quite a bit of research with my PCs hardware manufacturers prior to upgrading. Of course I do know my hardware inside and out as I build my own Vista renders video quickly and doesn't complain in 2 GB ram. I have 2 machines with AMD X2s in them and 2 with single-core AMD-64s. All run fine on it.

Anyone thinking of skipping on Vista?
Some of my hardware is older. Vista was built on the Windows 2003 codebase, not XP. The end result is a more secure OS but your XP drivers won't necessairly work. Unless you can get a hold of ALL Vista drivers for your hardware don't expect everything to run smoothly. Furthermore, I know for a fact that some of the

good news for xp, vista and linux users!
My machine... ... is trying to run Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. My hardware consists of an NVidia nForce 4 SLI X16 mobo, AMD Dual Core 64 bit processor, dual NVidia 7800 GTX And since I am no expert I will ask here on this forum, "Has anyone else had problems of this degree with Vista 64 and Media Center yet?

Windows Vista will not go into hibernation
Will have to give that a try some time. I've been playing UT2004 since, well, 2004. UT and Unreal are broken but they're ancient anyway. At some point I might get them to work but it's not exactly a priority. Broken? Strange, I play original UT all the time (my hardware is past its prime) and I've never seen any

Who's springing for Vista?
As long as an OS properly runs on my hardware, reads my text files, my iPod, my Palm and my Alphasmart (as Jesper says, "the apps", it's OK with me. XP does all these things just fine (Linux doesn't, unfortunately). Vista probably will, but I have to pay for it. So forget it. I don't agree about lamer applications,

Vista?
And even then, with the final release, It still took 3 weeks of product research to make sure my hardware and software is compatible. It wasnt called vista then but Get a list of 100 most popular programs that people use, and install them on XP and Vista. Then count the number of problems each OS will run into.

Switching to 64bit How will it impact my 32 bit Apps
If anything Xfce. light fast and no bull. Vista will remain a dog regardless to what GUI you use, is simply too big, too slow and compatible with nothing. 6 versions? "Compatible with nothing"? What exactly does that mean? Many of the programs I used in XP run in Vista. All the legacy hardware works as well.

Corrupt Files
Ubuntu 6.10 supported about 80% of my hardware out of the box, the rest via manual driver installs. Ubuntu 7.04 supported about 95% of my hardware out of the box, and nor will it ever support Software that currently won't work and that won't be updated by their manufacturers to run under Vista.

Poor performance after installing windows updates on Vista x64
Some of my hardware isn't supported in 64 bit, but I'd like to have the OS up and running so that I can eventually switch over to run 64 bit only. Licensing isn't an issue, as I have a 64 bit oem license installed, and a friend has a retail 32 bit license that he will trade me for some hardware.

Vista what do you think about it?
All the drivers for my hardware always worked. OK, some needed an update from the manufacturers website but who cares when the support is there, .... We shall see :) Indeed we will. Yep, waiting. I don't really think drivers will make Vista run very much quicker. It just needs high end hardware to run,

Windows Vista
The clean installation went smoothly and soon I was ready to start installing my hardware and software. This is where things began to get interesting. The Epson Status Monitor, which checks my printer for ink levels, won't work under Vista. None of the ArcSoft Photo Impression software will work under Vista.

I was tied to windows based appz cuz of my hardware configuration. So I usually had a duel boot setup [which i have now w/ XP] and would "play" with To my surprise they are all their...you just have to look. The only thing I can say is my Windows CE device won't work with LINUX. Should I run back to Windows?

More linux vs windows crud - was Windows Vista and 16-bit DOS ...
I installed x64 as dual boot with Win XP Pro, and my experience is that other than HP not providing a 64-bit driver for my scanner, all my hardware works fine and all 32-bit software I suspect when Windows Vista 64-bit hits the streets some time in 2026, ;-) they might also release a 64-bit version of Office.

Just a note for those wanting to upgrade to windows vista
As a result, I lost some of my work. That is essentially the definition of unstable, and as this was tested on two separate machines with the same result, I'm fairly sure that it's not my hardware (which works perfectly in Windows XP and Linux, by the way). Every so often, inexplicably, processor utilization will
