LOL Nah, Vista runs smoothly on 1GB if you turn off Aero and some of the other UT features. Even with full disk encryption going, I have no problems using Vista on an enterprise class machine with 1GB of memory. Havn't rebooted since I loaded SP1 two weeks ago.
Then again, I'm not gaming on it either...just running MS Office type apps (and some other enterprise workflow apps).
Don't listen to them, if you have Vista, load it up and see how YOU like it. It's certainly not for everybody, it's not perfect, but it does run fine if you have new software/hardware. I"ve never been one to put my trust 100% in other people, I want to try it and make my own decision. Reading about others experience is good, but have to take them with a grain of salt as many have pre-conceived feelings...i.e. Linux is the greatest OS! MACs rule over all computers! Microsoft is the devil! |
I fully agree that if he can get his hands on a copy to give it a try and see how he likes it.................. 
That exactly what I plan on doing, I mainly run Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 Beta) dual booting into Windows XP for gaming, but I'm getting a free copy of Vista from Microsoft for taking part in their Windows Feed Back Program, so I'm going to give it a shot just to see how I like it. I tried Vista back in the Beta trials and it wasn't all that bad, it was just hardware hungry and didn't like most of the software I was running at the time. So we'll see how it's improved performance over the past year or so.
