Here is my opinion on Windows Vista:

Personally, I think Windows Vista Sucks, not because it copied Mac OS, but its wayyyyyy more slower than XP. Among any MS operating system, Vista is the slowest. Vista's is a Pig! Don't waste your time upgrading to Windows Vista until they release the power of new PC's or when Microsoft turns Vista into a faster operating system. I believe that Microsoft should improve on speed and compatibility mainly and not add too many features. I cannot even test the Operating System in a Virtual PC it takes forever to start up and makes the host like a Pentium 2 System. The parental control feature is unnessesery and the editions and limitations of the operating system is unnesessery to. I prefer Windows 2000 and 98, because they have the speed and XP has more dramatic speed on high end workstations. Vista, not good at all when it comes to speed and compatibility. Windows 6.0 should have should have has an MS-DOS Kernal OS for Legacy Applications to run in. Windows NT 6.0 should be able to run on a Pentium 3 500 MHz the minimum with no problems, meaning it should fit on Virtual PC! I believe Microsoft has done a very bad job on Vista. XP is much better and so is 2000 and maybe 98 and NT4. I wish I was there to help Bill Gates build the new Windows 6.0 OS.

IMHO you are very misinformed, MS-DOS Kernel, now that is a laugh!

Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

Vista is ok, but do you need it? No you need it. In Fact many people will still continue to use XP until they either build a system or buy a system that comes with Vista.

I think the biggest jump to vista for avg users is that they are going to have to get used to a few things that are in totally diff places then they were in XP, but it's nothing diff then when they had to get used to XP from 98. I'd give it 2 or 3 years before Vista is really known by the public. Until then if you don't have to have it then you don't need it.

Agreed, with the whole speed thing but then again, I'm not using very fast ram (DDR@266) and am using an old 20 gig HD (5400 RPM) HD on my system right now just testing it out. My gfx card is only a PCI 64 Meg Geforce4 MX440 :) so thats also a reason why it's slow. My Vista system rating is 1.0 :P the crappiest level as far as I can work anything out in this new dan fangled layout.

Yeah the Vista rating should be at least 3.0 or higher to be considerd premium. Mine is listed at 5.0.

At the top of this page it says "Technical support for business and you". I see neither a question nor technical support in this posting. It's just a blogg - ie it assumes the whole world has been waiting for your opinion. You might be mistaken.

So i should be ok with a score of 4?

COBRA_R, how do you satisfied with speed of your computer?
I have little Intel Celeron 2.4, 512 ram, 160gb.
sys rating is 2.5
I will buy 512 ram more, maybe this will speed up vista.
My opinion: vista is very slow, I can't find anything there, and I will use XP again....
but..........
when I buy 4 GHz processor vista will normaly work (or maybe 5 GHz) :-))))
