| 665695 | 2008-05-04 06:30:00 | I want to know the best operating system for new working , | laryea (13698) | ||
| 665696 | 2008-05-04 06:33:00 | New working? Do you mean net working? What size and type of network do you have? | Jen (38) | ||
| 665697 | 2008-05-04 06:56:00 | Ok, I know I'm biased with this, but in my opinion, Vista is better for networking. However, if you have less than 2 GB of ram, and a Graphics Card that is less than a Geforce 7600GS or an ATI equivalent (Is it the Radeon X1600 or somthing similar?) don't bother with the new OS, its a modern OS designed for modern PCs. Please, I hope this doesn't start up an XP vs Vista Debate. P.S: Aren't you the person that forgot your password? P.P.S: Please get your spelling right, I didn't really know what you are talking about. |

Please don't make random incorrect statement about Vista when you clearly have no idea. If you duel booted XP/Vista like myself and others you would see a obvious difference. I said 'In my opinion'. Aren't I allowed to have my own opinions? Anyway, SP1 makes it about as fast as XP, and in some rare cases, faster than XP by a minuscule amount. I was talking about how easy it is to set up, not how fast it is. P.S I do dual boot XP and Vista, although I now almost never boot into XP. Am thinking of deleting it and giving Vista space. Some people like XP, others like Vista, end of arguement. |

Sorry your opinion is wrong, very very wrong lol. Its not like vs dislike argument, XP has better networking performance/ Now its end of argument. |

On that link you posted, the difference could hardly be notcied by the tester (network testing). In one case, Vista SP1 actually beat XP. So once again, it's down to what you like. I bet that Linux is faster than XP at networking, but is it easy to set up? Speed isn't everything. P.S Opinions cannot be wrong or right. It is a point of view, and there is no right or wrong to that, unless you want to be a dictator and kill anyone who doesn't agree with you. Definition of 'Opinion' 1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. 2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal. 3. the formal expression of a professional judgment: to ask for a second medical opinion. 4. Law. the formal statement by a judge or court of the reasoning and the principles of law used in reaching a decision of a case. 5. a judgment or estimate of a person or thing with respect to character, merit, etc.: to forfeit someone's good opinion. 6. a favorable estimate; esteem: I haven't much of an opinion of him. |

| 665703 | 2008-05-05 06:06:00 | 1) Define your terms for "better"? Better performance? Ease-of setup? 2) What kind of hardware are you running the OS on? 3) This a home-setup? Business environment? Wireless LAN? 4) Services, you planning on running any? Like web hosting? File-sharing? 5) Just direct PC-to-PC? Larger network of 3+ machines? SPARTAN 860, you're allowed your opinion but you failed to say WHY it was your opinion, thats why you got shot down buddy... |

| 665704 | 2008-05-05 06:14:00 | I think Vista is better for newbies to networking (like me). It is easy to set up, and it works. On XP, it works well, but is harder to set up. I hardly transfer files larger than Virtual PC HDDs anyway, and they are only around 1 GB each, since I don't use them much. | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
