What a load of crap saying XP is more stable than Vista.

I imagine most of you are running systems not built to run Vista.


I have had vista for 12 months now It has never crashed once

My old XP machine crashed and hung all the time. I can run every game known to man all the way back to BAO's Tower on Vista, could
never get it to work on XP.

I laugh at those who poke fun at Vista, and crap about how computer makers won't ship with Vista... all those with complaints have
almost always been either:

A.) People who put Vista on an older machine not designed to run Vista (Not enough RAM)

or

B.) People who built a "New" machine lacking the proper system specs for Vista.

My system is far from the "Best" although it is good, and Vista is Flawless on my machine, and FSX works without a hitch it
never crashes freezes or hangs, and I'm getting upwards of 45-50 FPS, and I do not have a very high end system by todays standards.

I second that statement fully. Although XP was 100% stable for me in the years I had it, so has Vista. I have not experienced any of the horror
stories told to be by many people who had bought Vista. I have had no performance hits anywhere, and it has never crashed. The only times my
computer has ever crashed are because of hardware problems that didn't have anything to do with Vista. DX10 preview mode in FSX has done wonders for me. It has brought about a 10% performance boost (in addition to the 20% boost already granted in FSX SP1) and more impressive visuals. I installed
Vista SP1 as soon as it appeared on Windows Update. I haven't noticed anything different since I installed it simply because I was not having any of
the problems that SP1 addressed in the first place.

For me:

Vista has not had any of the stability issues that others have claimed to be.

Vista has not had any of the unstable/buggy drivers that I have heard stories about (video, sound, etc)

Vista has had no negative performance impact on my system, even though I had had assurances that it would.
