pud’s Story

So, long story short...
While pud was buying a new computer today
pud made the mistake of
choosing vista over windows xp
My Advice to You is
Don't upgrade to Windows Vista
Here's the whole story
Wow, where do I begin. Thought I'd go ahead with vista, but ohhhhh what a tool I am. No drivers out for my video camera yet, nor my digital camera. Autocad runs like a pig, and apparently I need 50 gigs of ram to turn on all the eye candy.
So, instead of buying a 5500$ Alienware pc, which apparently I need to run all of vista's wonderful features, to the max, I'll just go back to XP.
Oh, and I'll stick to my Mac while I'm at it, for my office.

I don't think I've met anyone who's liked their upgrade yet. DId you have issues with constant popups too?
This is sure to be a recurring topic in the media, especially once they stop shipping new computers with XP.
Dennis, the popups drove me nuts.. I finally found a way to shut them off completely.
vista is a pig...but i couldn't say no to $750 USD tax free for a laptop that could potentially take me all the way through engineering school. i was in desparate need of one too...
when XP came out, a lot tried to hold on to win98SE (forget about winME, lol). now that Vista is out, we all will try to hold on to XP for the longest time possible. Vista will crawl like a turtle even on modest machines, and will run like a jackrabbit on dual cores (which it was intended to run on anyway). do you all smell some conspiracy going on the wintel conglomerate? to force people like us to continually upgrade to new hardware and software when we really don't need it?
