Vista or XP?

The date and time was 2/5/2008 10:18 PM, and on a whim, MICHAEL pounded
out on the keyboard:

"More stable" indeed is relative. I rarely run across workstations
running XP that aren't stable. It seems now the only ones that aren't
are those that have malware infection.

Sure XP looks dated in comparison. But then again, looks don't make it
superior.

Couldn't agree more.

I still don't have any clients that are planning to move to Vista. XP
continues to be the OS on new machines. For most businesses, there
isn't any advantage to Vista over XP. As you stated, when the time
comes that new machines don't offer XP drivers, that may change. But I
feel that most will skip Vista and wait until W7 arrives next year.

Thanks for your input.

Yawn.

I really have no feeling towards it one way or the other, but I will probably
end up with Vista on the new PC we buy just because that's what it comes with
it and I'm not savvy enough to try and run 2 OS at the same time... All I
really need to know is whether I'm going to have problems re-installing
periperals, games or software that are more than 5 years old (or 10 years
old). I guess I will need to research each individual item to check for
compatibility issues, huh?

Yes, you must research compatibility of your essential hardware and
software.
Most will probably work, maybe all, but research is essential.

Your ASSUMPTIONS about the ability and needs of the OP are typical for
you.
This suits your blind agenda.
Non technical users succeed with Windows Vista regularly just as they
have with previous versions of Windows.
Do not confuse non technical with an inability to learn or adapt.
The fact you feel you must be a "technical user" may describe your
own inabilities while saying little about others.
Many people of various skills from very little to a great deal have
success where you regularly claim failure.
That also says much about you.

"all over Vista for compatibility problems"
And what have the specific product manufacturers said to you when you
asked them what they are doing about their products compatibility
issues?

Windows Vista performs well on two older computers of mine, a laptop
and a desktop.
A FACT you can NOT disprove.

Well, I have researched and found out my scanner and my digital camera will
not support Vista. (both are probably 5+ years old but working just fine for
what i need) So I seriously have to get new periperals if want to use
vista???

Bingo. The Vista boys and the hardware boys want you to open your
wallet. A lot.

What do you need Vista to do for your camera? If it's a question of
uploading photos use the camera's memory card.

A combo: printer + scanner + fax + color photo printer (Dell 968) costs
99.99, brand new at DELL.

Two points:

1. In general, older peripherals are often not supported on newer
operating systems. This is true regardless of what the peripheral is,
and what operating system you are talking about. If the manufacturer
of the peripheral is no longer actively selling that particular
product, he is often reluctant to invest money to write a new driver
for it. That's a simple economic fact, and again has nothing to do
with Vista. No vendor ever promises someone buying his peripheral that
he will write drivers for it for every new operating system that comes
onto the market.

2. Regarding your camera, you should not need Vista support for it.
Worst case, you could buy an inexpensive USB media card reader, and
use it to transfer your pictures to the Vista computer.

But your choice. If your scanner isn't supported in Vista, you either
need to get a new scanner or stay with the operating system you
presently have.

His point is that along with a P.O.S. toy operating system, he also likes to
use P.O.S. hardware.

AlexB: "If it is Business or Ultimate open Command Prompt as administrator

^^^^^
I must say the developers at Microsoft do have a sense of humour.

 

My point is that this printer which is a very nice piece of hardware, great
looking and compact, standing next to my 5 grand new dell T7400 may be
purchased by someone who wants to have quality printing and digital input.

My point is that it is affordable and it is quality.
