|

Well, I want all your opinions on it.
My computers been running slow, and I'm thinking of reformatting.
I'm thinking of using Vista, but don't know.
So, what are the pros / cons of it..
I don't really play any games, except for MapleStory once in a long while..
I mostly just mess around, do websites, browse the net, screw around on Photoshop..
Opinions please!
XP or Vista!?

I would only get Vista if you have a pretty high-end computer (GeForce 8-series/HD 3xxx series, Core 2 Duo, and 2GB or RAM). Even then, the biggest problem would be compatibility. (with third-party software). I still think XP > Vista, especially if you attach a Vista skin (Vista Transformation Pack and Vista Inspirat 2).

Yes and no. It's decided by if you have an internet connection and web browser, not as much on the operating system.

Hm, I did a thing to see if my computer was compatible with Vista, and the only thing that wasn't good was my video card thing..
Other than that, I'm running two cores, 2 gig ram...

All OSes can upload mate =] You just need a good internet connection with a bandwidth big enough to upload your file.

Lol, I have Comcast High Speed, it's like the best around in Washington. On my other computer I could upload/download really fast, on this Vista computer I can download fast, but not upload.

Vista is really good with looks and interface some programs dont work with vista though. I only have vista because it came with my new computer otherwise Xp with vista add-ons.
But if it was up to me to buy a computer I would get a mac

Only for playing games. Nothing more. You need a non integrated video card + 2gb ram for it to be worth it.

At this point the only reason to get vista is DX10.
ANything else forget it.
Run it on a damn emulator on a mac or something.
