Living Room / Re: Should I switch from xp to vista?
« on: April 22, 2009, 05:16 PM »
I would stick with what you have for now unless you want to go to XP 32 bit to get your bluetooth adapter working. XP is a great operating system and unless you are running an Exchange or SQL server and have hundreds of users then the next generation Windows is only going to slow you down.
As for Windows 7 being faster, it might be slightly faster than Vista but it still runs like a tortoise compared to XP and its not surprising as it is still based on the Vista code base.
Testing the Windows7 beta I expected big things but was quite disappointed with the speed, it felt just as slow as Vista.
To be fair to the developers though it has loads more drivers for existing hardware so installed flawlessly and isnt annoying with all the popups like Vista was.
Would I shell out money to go to Vista or Windows 7 - not a chance !!!
