Windows Vista debuts to mixed reactions

With improved security and better graphics, Windows Vista seems like a major improvement over Windows XP and with the Apple Mac dying a slow death, the only rival Windows Vista has is non other than Windows XP. Funny it seems but according to source Windows XP outsold Windows Vista on the official launching day.

I’ve just got myself an Acer Laptop with free upgrade Windows Vista Home Edition program and from my previous upgrade from Windows 98 to Xp experience, my advice to those that are about to purchase Windows Vista to hold their horses. Wait till Microsoft sort out all those bugs and security holes, and there is a good chance that your computer is not powerful enough to run Windows Vista, possibly due to the higher memory and processing requirement needed to power the AERO interface.

With the chance to toy around Windows Vista OEM version my brother bought last week, I would say this is by far the best Windows ever in term of graphics, it is like a mac, smooth cool effects that is eye catching and a waste on processing power. Upgrades are highly recommended for gamers only or net surfers, for those that are into business or production based purpose, avoid upgrading - eye catching effect will not boost your productivity.

    Ummm…. GeckoFly might want to do some market research about Apple before making such an errant comment. I won’t waste my time, but I am glad I own Apple computers, and even more glad I own Apple stock. Both investments have paid better than MS.

    Think that Vista is the best advertisement that Apple could have. Just purchased a new Tosh dual core for the mother-in-law. This is a box-new unit. A friend’s 500 mhz iBook (512 mg RAM OS 10.4.2.8) is easily as fast as this dog. I’ve got to dump a couple of gigs of RAM into this thing and hope that it ends up faster than my mother-in-law’s 600 mhz PIII Sony VAIO w/XP. Next trick will be to reformat and install XP Pro. Vista? Better have a good one.. you’ll be looking at it alot waiting on this OS….

    [...] Windows Vista Service Pack 1 According to PC World, someone has posted 100 over fixes for Windows Vista on his website Hotfix.net, basically what he did was to compile all the fixes and label them as Windows Vista SP1, something which he claims to be the unofficial release of Vista SP1. Another website author took things a little bit further by uploading the fixes on his website and slap a three blocks of Google Adsense on the front page, which clearly is against Adsense policy - illegal activities.

    The people at apple are too complacent, now they no longer have the best default UI anymore.

    Apple dying a slow death. Truly hilarious.

    This invalidates everything else that your post says. If you’d get your head out of Microsoft’s rear it, you’d see that Windows is losing market share to Apple. Not a TON of market share, but a significant enough amount for MS to pay attention, especially in the home consumer market.
