He is right that the code is entirely different from XP and is a 64 bit vs 32 bit system (meaning over all theoretical performance is much faster as long as you have the hardware to do it and have software written to take advantage of this)

Re: Vista Sucks?
Vista definately isn't an upgrade option and is more for people buying new systems. The requirements are just so high that it doesn't make sense to upgrade.Originally posted by Wiglaf
Dell is offering XP again because so many people say Vista sucks. I guess I shouldn't upgrade .. I checked the site and WOW THEY ADD A SIDEBAR and other mac things. Seem inconsequential. Where am I wrong.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I'm saying most people won't upgrade and will instead wait until they buy a new computer. I'm not sure what other types of windows MS will be releasing and it is entirely possible people will cling to XP until the next version of Windows comes out unless they feel compelled to buy all new hardware by some killer app.Originally posted by Asher

It uses less CPU than XP does overall thanks to the GPU offloading.Originally posted by Oerdin

Vista's RAM usage looks higher because when it's not being used, it caches programs in there for quicker loading. People who don't know what they're talking about attribute this to bloat."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Why would you want a computer with only 256?Comment

I don't. My machine has a comfortable 2 GB, soon to be upgraded to 4 GB. This is not about me. The point is that a HUGE number of computers in India have 256 MB, sometimes even less. Computers in most governmental institutes have less. Machines in educational institutes have something between 256 and 512.Originally posted by Kuciwalker

There are variants of Linux that will run on these machines, and keep them usable. How does Microsoft plan to retain this market?Comment

XP is still being made for the third-world markets like India."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
