After a couple of weeks of living in Vista, I still dont see the overwhelming compelling value add...

the TRUE value will come from FULLY vista compliant hardwear that can take full advantage of the nifty stuff that goes on in the background..as well as the whole aero thing...remember...it's still in beta so it's not technically finished

True but do I really need Aero to be able to surf the web better, or write emails, or use Office? I understand the need to be pretty but at the end of the day, XP or 2003 are pretty nifty when you use comparable hardware.

After all the months and different builds that I've spent with Vista, I must say that I am extremely dissapointed in it and I will not buy Vista. I highly prefer XP. I'm holding out for Vienna

Vienna is supposed to address many of the issues that Vista was originally supposed to solve! LMAO! I haven't seen any boot times with Vista that are "as fast as turning on a TV". LMAO! That's actually what they originally claimed it would be! What a frickin' joke! Vista takes about three times as long to boot as my copy of XP.

[Ammalgam]

Yeah I agree.

It's still beta and all but man, it takes twice as long to boot as Win 2003.

[yurimxpxman]

Is there anything we don't agree on? lol

[Ammalgam]

Scary huh?

Maybe you're my secret Windows Twin?

Alot of that is because its still in beta, its not even a release candidate, the fast boot times are usually down to optimisations and they wont do that and add the stuff needed to do that until closer to release its still 6 months to release date. Also try using a flashpen should dpeed it up.

There is a lot more going on behind the interface that makes it worth something. There are a lot of added security measures that will protect your system more than XP does. The slow boot times are probably from incompatible drivers and programs, which should be expected in a beta operating system.

[yurimxpxman]

I think the "security feautures" are just major annoyances. If I want security, I'll run Linux.

[warriorscot]

Lol, you dont see most of the security features if you mean UAC thats one feature thats not finished yet, there are ALOT of others most of them you cant see.
