[MBZ] OT Vista
I know that there has been lots and lots of negative comments for Vista. I have to say that I have used Vista Ultimate lately and have found it to be a pleasure. I recently dl'd the Windows 7 trial and found that it works also. Now what I am running it on may be the difference, its a Phenon 9550 with a 9800GT video card and 6 gigs of ram. Though it works rather well and have never had it stall, burb or anything. Douglas -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] OT, vista again
I think that alot of MS problem with Vista stems from when it came out there were many computer users that had less that 2 gig of RAM installed in them that were trying to use Vista. From what I have noticed with 2-4 gigs of ram on a decent cpu and video card it seems to run fine. Though I have not used it myself! Though I do know that microsoft is not going to support XP very much longer. Which is the reason I have been slowly looking into what I am going to be using when they stop XP Douglas Anybody know anything about the Enterprise version? Looks like it has multiple activations, but wondered if anybody has used it, what features it has etc. -- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] OT, vista again
I use Vista on a new computer with 2 gb or RAM. It does seem to be very RAM hungry, and also takes a fair bit of space on the HD. Having said that, almost all my previous computers were Macs, so I'm newish to PCs. Seems to work ok, other than is seems rather inefficient in how works. A friend bought a new pc last week, and they are now offering XP as a option downgrade, which they swore a year ago there was no way. I think MS might keep XP on offer, until a new verion of Vista comes out, or a replacement. Whether Vista is as bad as most say or not, I don't know, I'm not a techie guy. I know it's been given the death kiss by the public, so whether it's wise to keep trying to market something that most think is crap, might be good money after bad.

The last time I heard about the next (post-Vista) version it was being called Windows 7 and the story was they were going to basically go through the kernel with a broom and dustpan and really strip it down and optimize it, and make a lot of the eye-candy stuff optional. Now I'm hearing that will NOT happen and it's just going to be more of the same bloated crapware.

Yeah, the partition table is the standard sort, so XP knows a partition is there, but the partition type number is something it doesn't understand. When I was fighting with XP/Intel motherboard and BIOS problems last year with 13 computers for a control system, I made sure I had a fresh install of XP each time I reloaded (which were many) by loading Linux and then re-loading XP. Loading Linux was quick and fun. Loading XP was slow and painful.

The partition and the file system are two totally separate things. XP by default will not know what to do with the file system.

Re: [MBZ] OT, vista again
The Volume License version, and a volume license key allow you to use the install disk on multiple computers and frees you from the 5 hardware changes and you are out that is so loved. You can get the VLK by following the instructions on how to get your keys for your subscription. You have to use VLK for VL versions and vice versa. Mixed versions don't work. If your Sub. allows you to get a VL version and a VLK, the best thing is to always use them and lock up or hide all the non-VLK disks and keys. YOu then can use one disk and one key for all your client machines. Have fun but if you install the vista crap, remember you can set it up to look like W2K and it will hum along Way faster!

Well I have the home version on this computer now, but I really want the features of ultimate or perhaps this enterprise.
