is PDC version Vista better replacement of XP?


Recommended Posts

Dude it's still a technical beta right now. From an end user's perspective there's no point in replacing XP with it right now because from a user POV things are probably gonna change a lot in builds to come. Unless you're a developer, there's precious little point right now.

Im getting it to try out the new MCE. It looks amazing. I just happen to have a spare partition to try it on.

I've run it in VMware with 512 MB set aside for it, with 512 MB used by XP, and not really any bad disk swapping from what I could hear. Occasionally maybe, but that could also be due to VMware overhead stuff. So in comparison with XP, it seems pretty similar in that area to me? Maybe just slightly higher use, but not enough to enforce memory upgrades from what I can tell.

I would recommend to run Windows Vista in a virtual pc enviroment such as VMWare or Virtual PC or on a second partition.

Because of some bugs and driver incompatibility I would never replace Windows XP with Windows Vista until a release candidate is out.

I've tested Windows Vista myself and found out that my printer and my webcam doesn't install correctly and that my Norton Software Pack (Internet Security 2005, SystemWorks 2005, PartitionMagic 8.0, Ghost 9.0) doesn't work.

I will test Windows Vista again when the public beta 2 is available.

Maybe I would get use of it then.

That's what you get for relying on BitTorrent or other P2P for your warez. If you knew how to use Usenet, you would have had it in a matter of hours. :pirate:

I've had 5219 for a while now. (09/16 was when i installed) Its nice to try out and such - I dont notice it being as buggy, but it certainly is laggy. But thats probably cuz im using a Glass Efffects hack ona DX8.1 Card (GF4MX4000) Other then the lag and a few unsupported things its coming along nicely.
