Re: [slim] Looking for the truth
I only started using XP recently. On a very small number of computers. That really needed it (laptops). So I think I'll be ready for Vista around 2009 :-) -- Michaelwagner Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32366 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Looking for the truth
Truth be told, if I had $3,500, I'd just go out and buy a Mac. While Microsoft spent the last 6 years and 6 billion dollars on Vista, Mac has released about 5 major updates to their OS. Now, for reality. Vista was worth the $125 price of admission for the 32 bit home premium edition (OEM copy price, with buying hardware upgrades so I could run Vista). Instead of buying the Mac, I could, in theory go out and buy $3,300 of fun audio toys ... if I could just find the money. :) With Vista, for those who have not come on board yet, I'd advise that you wait it out a bit longer. -- t2t t2t's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10016 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32366 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Looking for the truth
Should I continue to use SB3 with my WINXP platform successfully or can you tell me that this new WIN Vista works too? -- chiefersone chiefersone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9413 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32366 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you look around there are a lot of reports of people using Vista successfully. Then there are lots of people that are having problems with Vista with a variety of software and hardware. Who's to blame for this? Again, that's subjective. Microsoft presumably worked very hard to maintain backwards compatibility, but I think it's clear that they came up a bit short. If they can't get backwards compatibility right on a very fixed platform like the Xbox/Xbox360, you can imagine how much harder it is on something as varied as the modern PC. The bottom line is that unless you simply enjoy tinkering, you would be wise to just be patient and let Vista mature for a few months while everyone addresses the issues that its release raises.

And surely they will, but Vista is bleeding edge (whether MS admits it or not) and the industry is in an upheaval trying to cope. There have been people using SlimServer on Vista all throughout the Vista release cycle. These users were most likely relatively experienced and probably managed to work around any issues or simply disabled problematic pieces like the new security framework in Vista.
