| 638922 | 2008-02-11 21:12:00 | Its the old story and it will never change - some people like a certain operating system and some don't. Some have problems with Vista while others have no problems at all. Some like and use Linux and some hate it. Doesn't matter what OS a person uses - if they like it they'll use it, some one will always say it rubbish no matter what is done. We can use what ever OS we like no one can make you use OS ???. So be if someones happy using OS ???? so be it.;) No matter what O/S or dual boot people use and no matter about hardware. Most people have an investment in hardware and software. So if I decide to go to a different O/S will there be drivers for my hardware? Secondly will the applications I use run under the O/S? A computer is there for a person to use for whatever purpose. If the purpose works then no problem. I use what works for me. I do remember people saying not to go to WinXP service pack 2 some time back. The old FUD. Fear Uncertaintly Doom. |

| 638923 | 2008-02-11 21:36:00 | I use vista too, and for the most part I'm happy with it. No problems with malware/viruses as I don't go to porn or warez sites. I figure you can't be surprised if you get beaten up going down that dodgy looking alley beside the rough looking pub, so don't be surprised getting viruses trying to look at free naked people. Also CCleaner and Spybot/Spy Doctor fortnightly tends to fend off the adware nicely too. You guys are right, vista's just another OS. But I'd still go for XP if I could get drivers for it. Just so much less resource intensive. |

| 638925 | 2008-02-12 02:49:00 | Wainuitech is right. I'm sick of people with next to no knowledge jumping onto the bandwagon and mock new OSs to no end. Several of my friends think I'm stupid for using Vista, while they don't even know how to boot into safe mode or what the definition of an OS is. |

| 638926 | 2008-02-13 23:54:00 | I have Vista Ultimate and i use often the backup/restore computer to restore my computer. Is there any way to do this without using the vista cd? Like booting from partition or something? Thanks I can't help much as I do not use Vista. A few questions you might like to answer:- 1. How many physical hard drives have you got and how is it or they partitioned? 2. What do mean by backup/restore? Is this system restore or have you made a backup like xxxxx.bkf file? 3. Do you have a writable CD/DVD drive? 4. Do you have software that can make an image of a drive or partion like Nero? More advice will be forthcoming if you can answer these questions. Welcome to PressF1. |

| 638928 | 2008-02-14 01:07:00 | If you wanted to do a Image of your system and store it on the same drive, Acronis (www.acronis.com) Will do it, you can set it up on a separate partition on the drive then you set it up so you press F11 ( from memory) and it will run and reinstall the system/data from the time you made the image. Paragon (www.paragon-software.com) will do the same thing. I have not used the Paragon for this purpose, the person you need to ask regarding Paragon is Pctek. She does knows how and could maybe advice. |

MS seem to have more or less redefined the old meaning of "operating" too. ;) :lol: |
