My switch from XP Prof to Vista Business

[Hans]

A few months ago I reluctantly switched from XP Prof to Vista Business.
There was much negative news about this new OS in the Vista NG, but now I am
glad I've made the switch.
I use a home built computer, with a Pentium 4, Asus P4P800 MB, 3 GB memory
and a 512 Readyboost USB stick, 2 WD Raptor HD's, a Matrox Parhelia gr.
card. My SW is Office 2003, Photoshop CS3, Coreldraw, Nero 7 and various
utilities like Perfect Disc, Acronis and Norton 360 as a virus protection.
The total startup time for everything to appear on my screen is 65 second
and the switching between the various programs is super fast. The Vista
built in help function is excellent.
I am very pleased with Vista and in my opinion it is the best OS I have ever
used. (I have used them all over the years)

Guilbert, I'm not a Microsoft Employee, and I do not believe that Andre
is either.

I'm nothing more than a regular user (albeit more advanced than most,
if you don't mind my blowing my own whistle) trying to spread the word.
I think the same can be said of most members of this group -With the
exception of Taibear, who seams to exists solely to spread dissent
without facts-.

If you were so advanced why do you feel it's necessary to tell us all about
the hardware you're using in your sig? Is this just part of your bragging
rights? Does it really take all that hardware to run Fista?

Cheers.

So Microsoft resorts to getting their employees to spread good words about
Vista eh !

Since you did not quote any of the text you are responding, it is
difficult to know exactly who you are referring.

What leads you to believe anyone in this thread works for Microsoft?
AFAIK, no one in this thread works for Microsoft.

Why do you care doris? You don't give a sh*t about anything MS. In fact
you openly hate all things MS. You're a open sores RS/linux lovin loser.
Why are you still here? Jealous...broke...unemployed or unemployable?

Actually RobDee, my hardware is getting to 20 months old (from the date
it was purchased). The actuall design age of some components may be even
older than that.

I include the spec in my sig to prove a point. Vista DOES run without
problems on older hardware.

- ASUS A8N32-SLi-Deluxe
- AMD Atlon 64 Dual-Core 4800+
- 4GB DDR400
- ASUS nVidia 6600
- Thermaltake Tai-Chi Watercooled Chassis
- 1207GB Total Formatted Storage
- Vista Ultimate x64
- CodeGear Delphi 2007

Sorry, that may be 2 year old hardware, but it's high performance 2 year
old hardware.

Anyone, even Tiberius, would expect Vista to run adequately on that
hardware, so it's proving no point.

You know Frank, you remind me of Baghdad Bob.

He was the hapless Iraqi official under Saddam that kept lying his ass
off about advancing American troops most famously as they were taking
control of the Baghdad airport, Baghdad Bob was standing in front of a
bunch of TV cameras claiming Iraqi was crushing the advancing American
military.

So maybe we should call you Microsoft Frank. You lie through your ass,
you make things up nobody believes and you're seen as nothing but a
babbling idiot and Microsoft shill.
