  1. Try to play your older computer games and you'll realise how useless Vista is.


  2. It depends on what you use your computer for. I have found that it is useful for new programs only. It is fast only if you have the right amount of RAM. If you use it for mainly word processing and surfing the web there should be few problems. Not every computer with Vista runs the same!

    Here are some resources to enable to to understand both sides.

    Here is a list:

    * No support for DVD drives lacking firmware region coding

    * New monitor needed to view Hi-Definition content

    * Vista will encrypt hard drives by Default

    * Vista may shorten the life of flash memory (by using it for caching via SuperFetch - only has 10,000 writes: bad idea)

    * Vista won't work with many graphics cards and will remove games developers' ability to cater for older systems

    * Drivers have to be signed for x64 versions of Vista

    The sad truth about it:

    tonyatn says: Upgrading to Vista is a way to keep all the guys at Microsoft simply rich. Just innovate a new operating system every five years or so and this keeps the money and revenues coming in. What else is capitalism in America all about?
