think like this .. there going to make shit that will make you buy more shit to run there new shit. if you cannot handle the shit, don’t put your face in the shit. cause your system cannot handle the shit. and don’t complain about the shit if your system cannot handle the shit. xp is good but i like vista. it makes my shit things to do much easier. and i have no problem running this shit on my shit.so until the new shit is out im enjoying this shit.

@Dreth: I do see your point and that the frustration is toward the overall demands compared to the yeilds being too high, but I feel this is progress towards a desktop to be more functional, alive, useful, and personal than a background picture and gateway of icons... this could be the first step toward everyone having their very own Jarvis

@Dreth:
In Vista’s defense we are in the middle of a transition from 32MB to 64MB chip-sets, Vista recognizes this transition by offering both Vista x32/x64, also out there for those who want to preserve there system resources for more worthwhile causes are two settings Basic and Premium.
Minimum system requirements for Basic
800 MHz
Memory 512
Graphics card DirectX 9.0
Graphics memory 32 MB
HDD capacity 20 GB
HDD free space 15 GB
Other drives DVD-ROM
Minimum system requirements for Premium
1 GHz
Memory 1 GB
Graphics card DirectX 9.0 capable
Graphics memory 128 MB
HDD capacity 40 GB
HDD free space 15 GB
Other drives DVD-ROM

Vista set to basic settings can run on even the most basic of paleontologic machines so we can all feel free to change your settings to classic A.K.A. Lame, not enjoy an operating system that recognizes that kick start our graphics card can render, I’m not going to sit there with “system gray” smug look on my face knowing my CPU is running at minimal capacity I prefer the finer A.K.A. optimal things in life…
I’m not saying go open source Linux/Red Hat, I’m just saying there’s a configuration that Vista has provides for you that fits even a Pentium 4 machine very nicely.
I can hardly see your IT team getting upset that you have done away with the premium config on your work station.

You are comparing apples to oranges, actually no, rotten apples to fresh oranges.

You make a good point, what seemed ridiculous back then is common/essential nowadays.

But we’re talking about functionality vs. eye-candy here, mention something, anything, of Vista that has changed in terms of efficiency. Something new, innovative that will most likely pave the way to something more useful and efficient.

You can praise the fade effects and Aero look all you want but in the end they do nothing to render a more enjoyable experience and they do everything to render otherwise perfectly functioning hardware practically useless.

This is all aimed at Vista because I use it at work against my will, not at Windows Seven/Vista 2.0 or whatever you want to call it.

BTW, Vista is also part of NT.

Look at the normal gaming applications and video editing software… the “average” computer user has developed into a more in-depth use for a personal computer. If you don’t like it there are always configurations/platforms that are meant for you, but please don’t think your going to impede progress by embracing efficiency… Mouse support and even the concept of windows seemed like a waste to advanced users back when Windows first launch and look at the compatibility that followed it’s launch.
Maybe one day Google will actually launch their OS system, until than I am all aboard for Windows, and there Beta versions, you are still welcome to complain on your under-indulged Winnebago 2k or NT
