Windows XP vs Vista

Vista has huge overheads & requires 2x the amt of RAM to do the same job - thus have 2X the amt of ram with XP and 2X the performance. Vista is pretty - a rip off of Mac Os but its a pain in the ass - beware of any MS OS thats less than 18 months old - service pack , service pack, service pack. Drivers are a big issue - if you don't use a MS certified driver VISTA will imobilise the entire driver class eg. new vid card could disable all video drivers - useful eh? The problem is MS certification is avery expensive and very slow - so no one's waiting for it...

Beware ... better the devil we know
