524233 2007-02-13 23:06:00 Why do people think the ONLY difference between XP and Vista is the eye candy GUI? It's not.

Microsoft naturally used the Windows Server 2003 with SP1 code base instead of that of XP.

524235 2007-02-14 06:31:00 Does that advice still apply if Hitech happens to be female? :stare: :stare:

Well, as it's very salutary, lengthens life expectancy and all that, what Met's said, including rule # 1.


Oh and Foxy, you'll have to stare a hell of a lot harder than that, try 4 or 5 next time. :p

524236 2007-02-14 08:34:00 Give me 5 good reasons why a home user should be jumping to get Vista aside from the new theme? I cant think of ANY?! All things aside, the GUI is just playing catch-up with Linux / Macs

I'll get this theme for my family, it'll keep them happy, they arent going to know the difference between the new theme and a fresh install of Vista anyways ;)

I am trying it. Have not had much time yet.

A note to Speedy. My system is not yet broken.
If it did get broken then I would restore an image file.

524238 2007-02-14 09:03:00 I had a Vista early adopter tell me that he found XP really confusing & everything made a lot more sense in Vista. I can only see minor changes when I look at it, but he swears that it is a major improvement. Greven (91)
524239 2007-02-14 09:30:00 And he would be right i have had vista for over a week now and it hasnt crashed at all, Normally by now xp has crashed several times on me. Hitech (9024)
524240 2007-02-14 10:19:00 Did anyone here get Vista on a shiny new laptop perchance. Murray P (44)
524241 2007-02-14 21:34:00 Workmate of mine did.. Used it for a day or two but couldnt handle it. He only missed the new theme so I directed him to this thread for that Vista Experience thingy and he's happy as larry on XP now :) Chilling_Silence (9)
