should i upgrade to vista? - GoFuckYourself.com

Just_Dave · 12-03-2007, 12:16 PM

Do you guys think i should upgrade to vista? What are the pros or cons about it?

martinsc · 12-03-2007, 12:17 PM

i have one machine running vista and i'm pretty happy with it. no issues at all...
I like the effects and aero.

tony286 · 12-03-2007, 12:18 PM

wait for sp1.

CurrentlySober · 12-03-2007, 12:18 PM

Is it broke? No?
Well why try to fix it?

If all is good with XP, stay with XP till you get a new PC with vista installed...

I personally use vista and think its great... But no point in upgrading for the sake of it, on an older machine...

Not now - wait for SP 1 to come out.

pornguy · 12-03-2007, 12:33 PM

I would not upgrade. But if you purchase a new PC. nothing wrong with getting it from the factory.

12-03-2007, 12:35 PM

No need for an upgrade if you have XP. I have Vista on a laptop that came pre-installed, and it's ok....Just memory intensive.

The Sultan Of Smut · 12-03-2007, 12:38 PM

I just bought a new comp a couple weeks ago with vista and have had no problems. It's definitely a lot more sluggish than XP but apparently SP1 (out in Jan 08?) is supposed to speed things up a bit.

If you're not needing to play DX10 games then XP is probably a better choice but if you're getting a new computer then by all means go nuts, just make sure you got oodles of RAM.

[Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything if downgrading to Vista turns tragic.]

DaddyHalbucks · 12-03-2007, 12:39 PM

Why? It will only slow down your machine. Even with lots of RAM, it is still as slow as molasses in winter.

Sosa · 12-03-2007, 12:59 PM

Make sure you have a lot of ram to keep up with it. I'm running it on a new machine with 4 gigs of ram and everything works great

Just_Dave · 12-03-2007, 01:01 PM

thanks for all the info guys

sue · 12-03-2007, 01:21 PM

Dave,

Simple, NO wait!

*hugs and kisses*

KILL_FRENZY · 12-03-2007, 02:01 PM

the answer is NO

Mr.White · 12-03-2007, 02:10 PM

Totally happy with my vista ultimate machine. Didnt have a single prob with it yet.

Meeper · 12-03-2007, 02:34 PM

I run vista fine on my machine, have been since it first came out. If you have a fairly decent comp you shouldn't have any issues.

Kimo · 12-03-2007, 03:05 PM

do NOT upgrade to vista

shuki · 12-03-2007, 03:08 PM

In a word...NO

Probono · 12-03-2007, 03:35 PM

CyberHustler · 12-03-2007, 03:36 PM

The biggest problem with Vista is not stability, its compatibility. There are still ALOT of programs that wont run on it, or will run and give strange errors. Alot of driver issues too, for older printers and scanners and such. It took me a while to work through all of my problems, but I finally have most items more or less working correctly.

D · 12-03-2007, 05:00 PM

I wouldn't upgrade, personally... unless I had some actual reasons for wanting to do so.

As far as Vista goes, though, I've been running it pretty hard-core, myself, for nearly 3 months now, and zero complaints.

minusonebit · 12-03-2007, 05:04 PM

Note: If you have Dymo label printers (any of them) you will be in Vista hell.

swampthing · 12-03-2007, 05:05 PM

I am going to be downgrading a new machine with vista installed, to XP, as soon as i find some free time.

seeric · 12-03-2007, 05:08 PM

two words

FUCK NO.

VicD · 12-03-2007, 05:10 PM

not yet wait for the sp

Moe · 12-03-2007, 05:13 PM

No reason to fix something that's not really broken, unless you've been having issues with XP?
