I will switch to Vista once there are no activation issues, and when utilities can strip out all the unnecessary crap to streamline the OS. I use XP64 and a custom Lite version of XP for non 64-bit boxes. XPLite only takes about 300 megs for the OS and is way faster without the bloatware.

To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, December 18, 2008, 8:22 AM Yeah agreed Brian. XP64 is ROCK solid ( based on Win2003 kernel ) and I found good drivers for everything I own. Current setup: Areca 2 port PCI-E Raid card for RAID1 OS disk(s) 6G of Triple Channel OCZ PC1333 Ramz 620W 3 12V rails Corsair PSU Asus P6T Deluxe X58 motherboard * Onboard sound is ok Intel Core i7 920 ( Have not overclocked yet, but I will muahahaha ) EVGA GTX280 1G blah blah 2x WD 150 Velociraptors for raid1 OS I tried Vista twice and not only did it feel slow/bloated it had several annoying things which made me run back to XP. I'm not saying I won't ever use Vista but until they pry XP64 from my cold dead hands or Vista starts looking like a supermodel, I'm stickin where I am :) On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 11:04:22AM -0500, Brian Weeden wrote: > One would hope by the second service pack they actually get it working right :) > > I haven't found any real problems with Vista (aside from a handful of > annoyances) but there still isn't anything to really make me recommend > it over XP. > > ---- > Brian > > On Thu, Dec 18, 2008 at 10:58 AM, Rick Glazier <[email protected]> wrote: > > Things are getting better.
