Vista Home Vs Home Premium
EDIS: Ups! TITLE SHOULD BE: home basic vs homepremium
What the big difference (besides aero)? Microsoft can't really convince me there is one. Is home worth having (because a lot of reviews say it's bad but don't really show you why). Oh and i am talking about a notebook computer system. From what i collected there is no really big difference except for the price and resources they need to run. But what do the more experience abandonia vista users say (ehm besides stay on XP)?!

well, on their site it has a lot of new dotties, like new 3 games, media center, built-in dvd burning software, but it's all bullshit of course. the only ones worth mentioning is probably sheduled file backuping and aero desktop, if you're picky
what you need is windows business. i mean, wtf? home doesn't even have system restore

No, i think it has restore but not files backup and restore.
Well just like i said MS sites don't offer any useful information. uuu you can watch movies in premium, well guess what i can do that on XP as well. duh! It's not like it is difficult to find a programme that does that on the net.

I've been running Home Premium on a laptop for around a year now, and although I can become incredibly annoyed with the shut down and start up speed, I don't have too much of a problem with it. Well, ok, I've had more problems than that: some games have to be run in XP compatibility mode, the User Access Control can be a pain (it's found in all Vista systems, and can be switched off), and a few other issues, but things have been running fairly smoothly for me. |

Windows Vista?
Isn't that an urban legend? A myth or something? :bleh: |

Unfortunatelly not. Most notebooks nowadays come equiped with Vista. :notrust: The problem here is that some of them can be bought with no OS, but while it is possible to stick WInXp on them not all components might work propperly. this is lame. as it is lame that you can't easilly ("out of the box") install Linux on them. EDIS: But vista does have DirectX10.

Here, we can only get new computers with Vista on them, not even empty ones. I love you, FDISK.

Oh we have "empty ones" with "fake" linux and freedos installed on them. Which again shouldn't be sold because with the mentioned systems not all of the stuff works and customer has the right to test the product before purchase. either that or you can return it and get the money back.

I usually buy second-hand anyway if I need a new computer. I've only had XP since about March, the computer before that had 98 on it.
