Oh man you got no idea, Vista is great. I'm using it now
Download the BETA and install it on a fresh HDD and see for yourself. But WARNING - TAKE OUT YOUR XP HDD. IT WILL RE-WRITE YOUR BOOT SECTOR, AND BEING A BETA YOU CAN HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS DUAL BOOTING WITH XP AND VISTA! Mine f!cks up all the time... as long as i keep going into Vista and hacking around anyway :P
Seriously though, it's great. I'm considering writting a little review of Vista on these forums with screenshots too, comparing XP to Vista, coz i've seen many comments on people wondering about Vista...
What's wrong with XP? Are you a Linux user or something? Seriously i'm sick of hearing about people saying XP IS SHIT or
whatever is shit, but they don't have any comparisons or cons actually mentioned...
XP is the best OS for the end-user, hands down. There IS a reason why Microsoft is the most expensive modern-age corporation in the world (they own 49% of Apple, did you know that?). You can do more things on an XP machine than any other type of computer. Well, FUN things.... if you like implementing NAT into your routing tables then mabye Linux is best for you... lol
2000 is so much worse than XP, i really hated 2000 (i stayed with 98SE when it came out). XP is like 2000's more-successful big brother - all the shit they got wrong with 2000 they fixed up in XP. They are both Windows NT 5, 2000 being 5.0 and XP being 5.1.
