I've used all windows variants from 2.0, and with only a few
exceptions haven't had major issues with any
of them. And I've NEVER written anything about software good or bad
anywhere until now. This is my first
ever post anywhere on the 'Net. Neither have I used Vista, but have
fixed about 8 PCs with Vista installed
ex-shop. All have complained about slowness - bootup, software loading
and general use:
even on one high-end Core Duo 2.0gHz machine.
I'm planning to stay with XP until it falls over from old age. Mine's
a P4 2.8, 1.5gb RAM, 180GB
SATA HDD, etc etc. Was latest tech when I bought it about 2.5 years
ago, so I think it'll last for a
while yet. (Proviso being part availability.)
If there's not something less of a HOG than Vista around at the time
I'll seriously look at an
Open Source alternative, even though I haven't got a clue on
installing and configuring
it at the moment. HOG used to mean "Harley Owners' Group", but now
seems to have been overshadowed
by Vista.
Why oh why did Microsoft release such a load of rubbish - I know it's
money, shareholders demand ROI,
but MS is operating like it believes no other person's opinion matters
except its own.
Try Ubuntu. It gets more raw performance out of a given computer than
Windows' wildest dreams.
Oh yeah, it's free.
