The best "fix" for "Vista" is to install XP!:P

Everyone seems to love hating windows flavours, and in the beginning with Vista it was a valid. I myself was a later adopter and I've had vista on this machine since I built it 18 months ago I've not had a single problem and it performs well, so much so in fact that I've not found an excuse to install the copy of windows 7 I bought.....

On the other hand I did not like XP ( can anyone say Bloatware ? ) when it first came out, then grew to love it, but I'm afraid it just does not do the job anymore, The only reason I run it on my Eeepc is because I couldn't run 7 on it.

:( Next machine (there goes summer vacation, 2011) will require more than 2 gigs of memory. Ergo, goodbye to XP and hello to W7. Too bad. How sad.

Switched from Vista 32bit (old rig) to Windows 7 64bit (new rig).
What can I say, I like Win7 already. Much better than the Vista I was using.

I've a dual system with XP (x86) and W7 (x64).
I'll play Mercenary in W7, I'll change to XP if having any performance problem (which I doubt).

I use Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit and 32 bit. Prior to that I was using the shameful and buggy Windows Vista. I invested in Win 7 because I'm building a new gaming rig. Win 7 32 bit only recognises 2Gb of memory.

Was on Vista for quite some time; over time and a lot of the updates it ran ok enough, but was still sluggish. I upgraded to Win7 64 and it works like a charm. I see no reason to contemplate XP and certainly not Vista.
