Vista Is Not My Friend.

Windows XP vs Windows Vista

Which is the better OS: Windows XP or Windows Vista?

When I got a new PC, it had Vista on it. I want to downgrade to XP because too many things don't work right on Vista. It is slow and sometimes crashes.

I wish Microsoft would just pretend Vista never existed and go back to XP. What do you think?

CokePlaysSax says:

@jarige: yeah ubuntu rox.... except for printing... it sux at that. but out of the 2 here i say xp b/c its lighter

CokePlaysSax says:

Both are good. Vista is safer and less likely to get virus and a little bit more user friendly. However it also uses more memory and processing. I, being a speed freak prefer XP. The rumors of crashes are for ppl who dont have sp1.

shirlaysweet says:

XP all day everyday . i never got friendly with vista. Didnt like the attitude. lol

Trajko says:

Using XP since 2004, had vista for few mouths, didnt like it, could not run my favorite applications, and here i am on XP again, and maybe for long years ahead.

Chris says:

XP is way lighter and faster then Vista,I know I have a newer pc that has Vista preinstalled and it hogs to many resources.I then downgraded (more like upgraded) to Windows XP and it's alot better and more faster.

Lorena says:

Totally hated vista. Too slow, too much space, too vulnerable, not user friendly (excel and word)... I could go on. XP has its issues, but not THAT many!

amin9508 says:

windows xp because windows xp is faster and mush easy to find things then windows vista

Joe says:

Xp is better that Vista I have the latest system with 4gigs of ram and 3.2ghz processor and it is really slow xp runs flawless

Jack2205 says:

XP is the best OS that Microsoft has made.

Steven says:

Hello well frist off vista will run fine for tho who have the specs but all in all xp is a better os it run smother plus it take less space to save file on vista it takes more just because it looks 'cool' you can get the theme for vista on your xp also xp is safe just keep an up to date security protection vista is more of pain than it worth also look at the price

kiwisoutback says:

My wife has Vista and it's been nothing but problems. I have XP and don't have ANY problems.

PIRATERO_01 says:

Choirul says:

Stephanie says:

William. says:

XP all the way!

fefe says:

I'll take XP with a side of open source software.

I Choose Vista!

FRIEZA says:

Wich one catches virus faster????

Diogo says:

Two months ago, I was totally at XP's side, but after testing Vista, I saw how wrong I was about this OS.

Vista is a great OS, much faster and reliable, in my opinion.

XZXZXZ says:

Vista is so much better than XP..
but ubuntu is so much better than vista (visual effect with some 3rd party app)

trish_cooper says:

It took me awhile to get used to Vista but now I love it!

hembasha says:

the latest sp1 vista has improved so i guess vista is becoming a fact everywhere n must be accepted

Dave says:

Lorena, when is the last time you looked at Vista? Did you try it back in 2007 with old drivers? How about how much system memory(RAM) was in that computer?

Vista CAN run faster than XP in many situations, as long as you have a fast enough system with enough memory. That may not ALWAYS be the case, but my own system(Athlon 64 X2 5600+ with 4GB RAM) shows a performance boost under Vista compared to XP.

Jarige says:

Omg, as if there's no other solution.
Ubuntu is the best OS I have ever seen!
Tried DOS, Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Xubuntu and Ubuntu.
Vista crashes and is hella slow. XP crashes and is hella slow over time. Ubuntu never crashes, is very fast, you can do everything, and is user-friendly.
But if you want me to chose, I'd really rather have Vista, it has grown ever more stable after its release, and especially after SP1.
And btw, the search function in the START menu is very convenient.
