vista vs xp/2k

by head • 7 Feb 2007, 12:04 • Journals
Hi!

I'm going to format my HD tomorrow and I don't know if I should give Windows Vista a try yet or not.

All I need is:
- ET (yo)
- CS (drago is med/high, rly!)
- Some webdesign/graphic applications (to make $_$)
- Office (LoL)
- IRC / MSN (to arrange dates wit gRlZ n stuff)

Are there any known problems with one of those programs?

VISTA or XP/2k, what would/do you prefer?

ET - Not with vista, any Q3 Engine game + Punkbuster have many many vista based problems.

Why not? There`s a solution for Enemy Territory probs on Vista. At Vista you`re a normal user like on linux, to solve the probs you need to work with an administrator-status & everything works fine..

just my opinion :q

steam isn't the protection of CS. Even if we'r not sure if it works with vista, the more important is the CS protection to know if it allows vista or not

Vista!
Because there are new drivers released 30 January(from nvidia, dunno about ATI), and any q3 engine games including ET works fine with normal fps.
MSN/IRC/Office ofc is fine on vista
Dunno about CS
And graphical design depends on programs which you will use. Photoshop btw works fine.
+ Vista design is cool, but anyway MAC OS>Vista

Use Windows XP, Im using Visita @ my work any many things are not working.

Ass example we are using internet from an kpn-card and visita is not supporting those drivers for the card, that means i cant use it.
Windows live messenger is also not working under Vista, and so are many more things.
