XP vs Vista Users

hey everyone, just wanted to see the figures, how many people are using XP and how many are using Vista (dont matter if its Vista ultimate or xp media etc etc) will include 32 bit though

and no i dont want to know who is running anything else lol. sorry. xp vs vista only.

give you're reason for why you stick with "X" or are going to move to "Y" because....

intrested to know really.

me , i am staying with xp untill i really see the point in Vista. probably move to the 64bit vista once sp1 is out etc and games benifit from it (as for now games are losing out, looking at benchmarks). certainly dont see the point in 32bit Vista

 

Wouldn't this be better as a poll?

Running Vista full time since September here.

 

jesus chr*st. i have only just submitted it before adding the poll !!


quick off the mark ent ya lol

 

xp...from all the reviews and benches, gamers should stay away for now...

 

running xp.. its still good

gonna get vista prob round the time crysis comes out or another great game.... but will need an upgrade 1st tho...

 

On xp now but will get vista for my next system some time later in the year.

 

XP currently, Vista 64 as soon as the R600 is out.

 

Strictly speaking, you should have offered XP x64 as an option...

Also, why is it under Hardware & Overclocking? Surely it should be under Windows OS & S/w?

But voted anyway... seems I'm the only X64-er so far.

 

ah yes, sorry. forgot about that/

glad you mentioned it

 

Linux?

On my gaming computer, anyway, I'm still running XP. DX10 games aren't out yet, so Vista is only extra overhead. I figure I'll move across after the mid-range RD600 cards come out, or maybe sooner if the DX10 patch for Company of Heroes is really spectacular.

 

i think this would have been better as a checkbox system... i dual boot XP and Vista

 

As soon as DX10 comes it'll be Vista full time. Though I might consider updating sooner, whichever comes first: DX10 or the Fiji update pack for Vista... I just hope that the entire OS is improved and updated with the new service pack...

 

XP Home
XP Pro
XP MCE
Mepis Linux

 

running duall boot win xp pro and vista 64 ultimate.
xp main gaiming OS due too Uber Poor Nvidia driver Support.
vista 64 for everything else, its actually very stable and bug free for me , far more than the xp launch IMHO

 

R600 motherboards are out, look for it on OCUK, it was available last night.

As for me, its Vista 64 and Vista 32, both business edition.

Vista RC1 (64bit) currently. Will purchase it when I get a job (and therefore money), but I've found it to be a great experience and runs smoothly. The searching is fantastic and folder windows are a heck of a lot more organised. Thankfuly Acer have finally gotten round to realising a driver pack as well so my laptop's running smoothly again with webcam etc.

XP or XP MCE now on all my machines, and for a long time into the future I suspect. XP does everything I need it to do, I don't care for the visual 'experience', and works with all my hardware (which Vista doesn't at the moment).

 

I'll wait until my XP OEM runs out, and in the meantime move this where it belongs.

 

With the release of Vista, the licenses on all existing OEM copies of XP expire 4/1/07.

 

So on the 1st April, theres going to be a few ****ed XP users then?
