.... Microsoft has had to allow PC manufacturers to continue to sell XP on

new PCs, setting a deadline for the last sale at January 31. However, the

pressure from manufacturers and consumers has been so great that Microsoft

has been forced to extend the deadline another five months, until June.

And with Ubuntu being downloaded at the rate of a million downloads a

month, expect XP to be extended even further and expect an SP4.

The test was run on a notebook with 1gb of RAM, underspecified for Vista and

way beyond the spec for which XP was first developed. If my memory serves me

correctly, the tests were deliberately tilted at making XP look better even

in SP2 guise..

 

No doubt if Win 2000 drivers were available for the machine, it would run

twice as fast as XP. Equally, if XP SP2 or 3 was run on a base level Win

2000 machine, XP would and did run like a dog.

 

So what exactly does the test prove? It proves that each Windows version

requires more capable hardware is all, hardware that is readily available

and relatively cheap.

A million a month scares you? Makes you jealous? Yep, and it makes you

lie, insult, use profanity and bluster.

Exactly! Each new version has more features than the one before, and

doing more requires more and faster hardware.

 

Fortunately for all of us, over the years the improvements in the

operating system have been more than matched by improvements and lower

prices in hardware. So what we get is a better operating system with

more and better features for less money.

 

It boggles my mind that people see fit to complain about this.

The results of any benchmark test are about as effective as sunblock is

to a nuclear explosion - Utterly pointless!

 

As just about anyone would tell you, benchmark programs are usually

written with specific operating systems in mind. If the benchmarking

program for XP is run on Vista, the results will be skewed, and cannot

be taken as gospel. And comparing the scores of a XP Benchmark program

with those of a Vista benchmark program is like comparing apples with

oranges. They cannot be categorically compared.

 

What truly determines the viability of any OS is it's real-world

performance, not a synthetic benchmark, And in the past year in which

I've been using Vista, my conclusion is this - Despite it's greater

system requirements, my day-to-day productivity has improved. And that

is where the difference is. I can work more efficiently than I ever

could on XP.

nice to see 2 brainwashed MS drones agreeing with eachother...

 

 

how pathetic...

 

 

XP outperforms vista on all new and older hardware.. PERIOD.. no excuses..

its just faster...

 

the reason why Vista needs more is NOT because it has more features but

because its poorly desgined..

 

MS knows this, thats why they are DRASTICALLY sliming down the windows 7

core...

 

 

Guys wake up.. you are the VICTIMS of Vista... brainwashed and made to

comply.

In whose real world scenarios?

 

Once my completed the (rather short) learning curve, Vista is a delight.

And for just in case you misunderstood their work on Windows 7, this

may come as a surprise to you - Work on Windows 7 didn't start after the

relase of Vista. The original code name of Windows 7 was I believe

"Blackcomb", or something like that. R&D for what will become Windows 7

started nearly 6 years ago.

 

Windows 7 is not a result of poor Vista design.

 

The only drone here in this conversation is you.

 

You "overheard" someone saying, or read on some 5-year-olds blog that

Microsoft is giving priority coding time to Windows 7. You are too dumb

to use your brain, and the only logical conclusion you can come up with

is that Vista is so bad, Microsoft is forced to do this. Why would

Microsoft tie their best OS coders to a product that has already been

released?

 

When Microsoft went Gold on Vista, those same coders that where working

on Vista where moved to the Windows 7 project, at which time those Win7

R&D guys where moved to begin research on whatever will eventually

replace Windows 7!

It does have more features. They are just not riveted to the outside is

all..

 

And Windows 2000 outperforms XP, but we all knew that anyway.

 

Please tell us something new at least..

I will be looking eagerly at Windows 7. For those of us who do not like

Vista very much, hopefully MS puts out an OS we like in the next version.

here is something new Mr drone man....

 

winXP had lots of nice features over win2k, so we would exchange some CPU

cycles for feature sake...

 

Whoever was saying back then that XP was not good was a naysayer!

 

Vista has nothing that is of worth... above XP (remember XP also had MCE and

Tablet editions), only that stupid inflexible aero glass theme.

 

Whoever says Vista is better than XP is a technological NAYSAYER also! They

dont care about what is better.. they only care about what is new.

In this case the new one is not better, its a huge leap backwards..

 

lets hope for microsofts sake that windows 7 will be better.. because If it

has anything to do with vista people will flock away from the "collective".

Hey...Tuberculosis...you finally stole Vista.

Just purchased a new Gateway laptop. The only OS choice was Windows Vista. I

formatted it and installed XP right away but found that the backlight

doesn't function with the Intel XP drivers.

 

....so now it's happily running Linux.

 

Vista is horrible. I'd rather run Windows ME if I was forced to use

Windows!!!
