Windows Vista - safe to install yet?

[Mr. Wolf]

I'm running XP coporate, but I'm wondering if Vista is safe to install yet? Meaning, is there already a volume key for it with WGA crack? It's kind of been a year and all the software that did not work with it got a new version just for Vista... If there is VLK for it I'll move...


Why move you ask.. It's better to develop software on new OS. Plus XP is sort of borring by now..


Can I run Mac OS on PC?

 

[spider_007]

say no to vista

 

[Mr. Wolf]

Well, I will not do that.. Because of past experiences.. There was a time when XP came out and I had 2000, and I said no to XP.. XP turned out to be one hell of a system.

It's not until I took MCSE courses that I realized how much more powerful XP is than 2000.

Same was the case when Windows ME came out.. They said say no to ME, keep 98, and before that it was 98 vs 95..

But guess what, when 95 came out, they were saying 3.11 is WAY better!

say no to vista

Agreed

 

[penkitten]

there are lots of vista complaints lately, even on commercials with the microsoft and mac guys.

you can not legally run OSX on a PC... other than that you're fine as long as you google it

I am running vista on my work laptop along with Office 2007. Both of these need some updates before they are fit for mainstream use. There are some bugs, it runs very, very slow at times and freezes up sometimes as well. Plus some apps out there do not run on the 64 bit operating system. I'd say give it 12-18 months before you do an upgrade.

 

[Giovanni Casanova]

Only upgrade to Vista if you don't like using programs, playing games, printing things, scanning things, or otherwise using your computer in any way.

Why did you ask us then??? do what you want:kick:

Hey, spider, thanx for the icon. Why am I pushing the other smiley away? Hmmmm... Anyway, I wondered if there is VLK with WGA crack out yet, just like in XP? Vista Ultimate Corporate edition is what I want!

Dude i have vista running, you need a sick computer though, i have 3gb of ram, Intel Core 2 PCU 6300 @ 1.62ghz, mine isnt awesome or anything but vista runs smooth on what i have

 

[Mr. Wolf]

Mine was build in 01 or 00.. AMD XP 2400+ @ 2GHz, 1 GB of RAM, PC2100. 2 SCSI drives, 512 MB 256-bit Video Card.. Sick system. I ran Vista RTM last year when it came out.. Every piece of hardware except game ports which aren't supported worked just fine. Vista ran smooth and fast too.. But software I use didn't work, now they all have new versions..

What kind of vista are you running? Coporate? OEM? PM me.

 

[bigjohnson]

Who in their right mind would develop software on a pirated version of the OS? That's just idiotic. Do you steal your dev tools as well? Just get an MSDN subscription and use the MSDN license for your dev work, moron.

If you're a developer and a MS certified how can you reasonably expect to get a better opinion than your own on a SELF IMPROVEMENT and SEDUCTION HELP site?



To answer your question, sure if your hardware is capable enough Vista is fine.

XP was highly regarded from the start.

Same was the case when Windows ME came out.. They said say no to ME, keep 98, and before that it was 98 vs 95..

They said no to ME because it was a downgrade from Win98SE. ME was a mistake from beginning to end.

Win 98 was highly regarded from the start (as superior to Win 95).

But guess what, when 95 came out, they were saying 3.11 is WAY better!

Win 95 wasn't so much the problem; It was all the dos applications that everyone already owned. Win 95 was revolutionary.

It's not until I took MCSE courses that I realized how much more powerful XP is than 2000.

This is why the MCSE designation is worth spit now. My suggestion is that you look to a better source for this type of information than sosuave. Failing that, my rule of thumb has always been to stay one OS behind current. You miss out on some features but "generally" gain stability. Some folks wait for a few service packs for switching. I'm staying on XP for now.

Windows ME was an aberration.

If you want a system resource hog, go with vista with the aero interface. Seriously was going to get vista when I built my currant PC but looked at the specs and said hell no!

I got XP pro instead...
Vista wanted 1gig of ram, XP pro could run on 512mb. Vista wanted one helluva video card to run that aero interface.

Since I have used XP before and got it to run on less the 512mb of ram (it was pretty slow, however), I decided to stick with it

 

[Nip/Tuck]

People are so inpatient, wait until Microsoft comes up with a new service pack that fixes all the glitches of Vista. They rushed the release and now they're paying for it. It'll take time before everything is fixed, chillax and just use XP for now.

 

[bigjohnson]

Longhorn was in Beta a long time, we had it in use for 12+ months before Vista released. It's pretty stable and solid, but some apps, particularly poorly written ones that require you to log in with Admin privileges, have issues.

I say it's about time MS forced developers to write code that adheres to reasonable security guidelines.

 

[Mr. Wolf]

There is a PIF encryption program out there, called tElock, and others.. tElock in particular was used to encrypt the mellisa virus.. You can encrypt executable..

Doesn't matter if it can be unencrypted..

However, this is only to mask what compiler you are using. It doesn't matter if OS is legit or not. Perfectly fine on small operations and custom jobs.

All fingers point to Vista not being cracked fully yet.. The best I think that there is out there is an OEM bios crack.. No VLK yet.. It sux.. Eth0 needs to work on that.. I sort of liked RTM vista release..

Yo bigjohnson, playa hater man, I think it's awesome you were the first to use Vista, Longhorn, whatever.. Kinda makes you special.. Awesome dude..

 

[bigjohnson]

• Vista is plenty stable and brings useful features with it's new, rethought architecture.
• I have seen it in use for a long time, everyone hated it *at first* (pre-release) because it constantly asked for elevated privs, but as it matured and the supporting utilities were fixed that went away
• Stealing software and being a software dev is moronic, particularly if you're developing for MS and stealing MS apps since you pretty much need MSDN for anything past hobby level dev work and MSDN includes legal licenses to use everything MS ever made with just a few exceptions.
• I don't hate everyone, but I do tend to dislike stupid people.

I hope you can absorb that.
