The fact that he references nothing, quantifies nothing, and substantiates nothing tells something!

Are you feeling ok Magic?

All the sources and procedures are detailed and linked to.

No point in copying and pasting hundreds of items from the NVD when people can just look them up themselves.

But hey, i got it as part of the "why we're upgrading" package from the IT security Dept, and was just passing it on for those who may be interested.

Makes enough sense now, thanks.

I have no idea about vista, so I am staying with XP.

Quite right Stevo.

Unless you have a reason to do anything, then dont do it!

Lets all create a club "XP Owners Club"

and then we can rant and rave about pre XP and anything onwards and give Praise we have the correct operating system


.......then again lets not


(sounds like a motorcycle owners club that lol)

Ive got every edition there is to vista its alot cooler than windows xp! very cool features

I hate vista! got a new laptop with it on it and its useless! crashes more often than not. The thing is, it will not let me install xp again!

(ps i didnt buy laptop because of the vista install, i bought it because of the nice shiny blue lights!

just skimmed through the thread so might have missed it. But what are the machine specs needed to run windows vista, or where can i get them from?

800 MHz Intel-compatible processor

Or if you want it to run anywhere near well, take the 'Premium requirements' as the minimum you need, and double most of it if you want to run Vista Premium.

Good advice Schildiner.

"Vista Capable" is about equivalent to saying a 300Mhz P2 with 128Mb Ram is XP capable.

It will run, but you have to be patient!

There is a wide range of hardware specs across the Vista range, so its worth bearing the exact OS in mind.

On a similar subject. there is an interesting case going on with Dell and Microsoft just now, with them having sold "Vista Capable" machines, which aren't Vista capable anymore...

Now there's a man who has a sensible attitude to computing.

I'm not kidding either, i really do agree with that approach! Shiny flashy thinks rock~!

Personally i wouldnt go anywhere near Vista until im upgraded to a Duo processor. And i wont be doing that until AMD produce one (a real one not 2 running side by side, which they do atm)

Also, Vista is for kids! Just like macs!
Pretty pretty colours. But definite lack of cojones.

thats why i wont use it, cos im not a kid, but i didnt want to make it so blatant....well said scaley
