because most people don't buy a new computer every year, allot of businesses still run old '98 machines because a replacement system costs too much, and if they do replace they buy cheaper old machines that will be run on XP

and watch your language Marcus

Vista's not that new, it was out in 06. But anyway, you're meant to be posting desktops, not discussing OSs. ;)

Ok, a lot of people do buy Vista, mainly because it comes bundled with laptops and PCs these days, so they don't have much choice. Although a lot of PC manufacturers have been switching back to XP because of the numerous complaints they recieved from customers, Hence XP's shelf life being extended.

If you like Vista, fair enough, I just think it's a horribly bloated OS with more bugs than you can shake a stick at. Though I don't know if SP1 has remedied that. But anyway, just my two pennies. :)

Fair enough. I've only had a limited experience of Vista, so I'm not in a great position to complain. Was it preinstalled though?

Also, anyone know if there was similar moans about XP back when it first came out? I was still on 98, and so wasn't really in the loop so to speak.

I have had no real problems with Vista, permissions are a **** but that's the only problem.

I installed it myself, and as Jb say the only thing I really can complain about is the permission stuff.

Its always allot of moans when they release a new OS and XP "still" has some big security problems.

I'll wait till Vista SP2 at least. Or unless I buy a new comp with it pre-installed.

2GB DDR2 RAM
XP and Linux, obviously. :P                                                      

I probably could run VIsta happily on my machine, but I don't want to. Planning to get meself a much more powerful one, and give my current one to my dad. His failed a while back. That's when I'll probably get Vista. Preinstalled on the machine.
