How many run Vista?
-
2.5% of people coming to our website use Vista
:-)
-
so it has a long way to go…
-
I wonder what the numbers will look like this fall when the puchase of school computers start to come into play? Any predictions?
-
I’m waiting for a decent client firewall solution to support Vista before I’ll make the switch.

we will see… it will go up every day I think, as more and more people buy new computers…
there is also a lot of negative feedback around internet which is mostly not valid, as people love to blog about things they really dont know much about :-)

Well, a few days ago I broke down and upgraded to Vista Ultimate. I found that McAfee VirusScan 2007 - while not as good (in my personal opinion) as my prior security solution on XP which consisted of BitDefender antivirus combined with Outpost firewall - does work well enough to suit my needs for now while I wait for Outpost firewall to get compatible in the meantime.
While better at this than it used to be, I wish McAfee had more options for power users and administrators. For instance, it needs an option to exclude user-specified paths from real-time scanning as well as path exclusion for manual scans. I’m afraid it’s going to wreak havoc on my trojans and rootkits while I’m defragging my pc (ahem, from back when I was younger…don’t ask :D).
Having freshly installed Vista for the first time on an actual physical pc that furthermore had somewhat decent specs, in the beginning I was somewhat dazzled by all the flash and glitter. I still am. However, perhaps not too unlike marriage once the honeymoon is over, the cold stark reality - of some of the changes the Windows platform has undergone in Vista - is starting to sink in.
I’ll post about some things which I really love in the new OS and rant about some things that just deserve to be ranted about - in the ‘Software Chat’ section of the forum…

switched to Vista x86 Ultimate, don’t wanna use XP now ;-)

Been using vista ultimate for nearly 3 month. No problem.

Just installed Vista Home Premium on my laptop along with XP (Dual Boot) and so far everything works….sortof, but powerarchiver can’t extract ISO files properly, unlike in XP.:mad:
-
Many people run vista. I also use in my computer.

Windows XP (eXtra Pathetic) Pro is the last OS I will buy from M$ , I certainly won’t be buying Vista. The continuing “forced upgrades” will no doubt mean that even XP will not be supported one day. Funding the Gates empire in not on my agenda anymore, and am more than happy with the testing of Ubuntu (Linux desktop), even on a P2-350, it’s way better than anything M$ can put out. ;)

Ubuntu is rubbish, go Gentoo. I dual boot gentoo and vista x64, but vista is mainly used just for games.

Why would I change from Ubuntu to Gentoo, when I’m quite happy with Ubuntu ?? :D

I’m not asking you to change. I’m just telling you that ubuntu is crap.

That is only one persons opinion. ;)
Yes, you’re right. I don’t like ubuntu, other people do. Everyone’s happy :)

I’m running Vista.

I just purchased a new desktop with Vista. What a difference a year makes. I remember when I purchased my laptop a year ago with Vista, I had programs that didn’t work quite right, lots of driver issues.
Now, the new computer setup without any problems. No driver issues, all programs have release updates to work with Vista.
Maybe there is still hope for Vista.
