So install XP.

Also, build your own computer.

Does it have the run as option? As in you can run Counter-Strike in a WinXP environment.

Also, doesn't Vista block unlicensed media (ie: illegal .mp3s and downloaded movies)? I don't really know it for a fact. That's just what I heard.

If it's true though, I am never upgrading to Vista.

LOL
I have vista and it isn't really that bad when you get costumed to it.
You can still run your illegal stuff like (.mp3)'s from limewire, all sorts of movie formats from torrentz,
and those downloaded programs.
True, some programs won't work under Vista. So before you install, right-click on the (.exe) then go to properties then go to compatibility then click on the compatibility mode box (win xp serv. 2 should be selected already), it should work now. Most work properly this way, so idk, you'll have to check.

Im okay with it, but it pisses me off when those thumbnails fail to show up and are a dick to fix.

I would definitely blow out Vista and put in XP. It may look pretty, but it is such a resource hog. Vista is a blight on my work's desktop pc, and I can't get rid of it.

If that'd be true... then i'd be in the shitter with my 220gb of downloaded TV series and 280gb of Music! Oh, know that the copyright infrigement here in Canada is only broken when you make proffit off the said material, not on possession, so i'm in the fair use department. :P

Anyhow, vista is gonna pass the test of time like WinME, but it's still very reliable, and with a propper system (aka, i got a 3ghz dual core with 4gb ram) it's flawless.

It's kinda weird, lol. The 32-bit version of Vista seems to run like crap, yet the 64-bit works nearly flawlessly.. which really makes me wonder wtf M$ fucked up this time, since Vista was built on a 32-bit environment.

Well, Vista sucks compared to XP.. but If you ever ran any of the BETA's you would know where M$ came from.. Vista is GREAT compared to what I've seen from the BETA's.

Still: install XP.

I wouldn't necessarily jump back to XP yet
do a little research
Check to see if there are working drivers for your system
(I had to go back to Vista on my laptop because XP kept crashing on every full screen game, and even on Firefox, and now that I have gone back to vista not one single BSOD)
If there seems to be more crashing than normal on XP
its probably due to the drivers being buggy as hell and you may be better off on Vista.

You guys haven't felt Microsoft's wrath until you worked with XP embedded

One comment: Vista is just like Windows ME, It's there to take up space,time, and get money until they think of something better. What better way to force people to buy something :)

They already thought of something new didn't day? Windows 7 on it's way and all...

Anyway recently I upgraded my PC's memory and decided to go 64 bits and chose Vista over XP (XP x64 sucks). I'm really glad with the result though. My PC runs smoother then it did with XP and I haven't run into problems yet since it was installed (although the thing did crash during installation, whicht took loooooooong). So far I've gotten all my programs to run, and old games.

The only thing I can't seem to do, not sure why, is getting VisualDUB to work with the zmbv codec, it just won't open files who use that. Not sure if it's Vista or because it's x64 but it just won't load even though the codec is installed right.

Oh well found a workaround for it anyway so it's no big deal...

Thats the problem, there's no leniency for the hardware in your computer to run Vista. . you pretty much have to over do everything or have top notch stuff for it to work probably and that can be troublesome to consumers but give microsoft what they want at the same time. AKA controlling the market even more

Yeah I find vista really needs a lot of stuff to make it work properly. XP is better.
