Sorry, I reedited my post so it can fit my though.

I was saying this about ME a few years ago.

I never said that about XP a few years ago.

I actually say this about Vista and it will be.

Actually, there's no need change Xp for Vista. And soon Vienna (their new OS) will be on the market. With, I wish, the features they had announced for Vista. I think that Vista have nothing more than two years of life. In late 2010 it will be dead.

You're write about gaming. Gaming experience is mediocre with Linux. About command line time spend; no more than under windows XP. Techs use command line on Windows or on Linux. But user don't need it anymore on Windows or Linux.

For services optimization there's black viper who had write some thing about Vista see http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/servicecfg.htm

Ok, I can see your point better now.

I would personnally also wait a little more before switching to Vista and I'll probably stick with XP as long as MS supports it. It's more because I've learned to know XP and don't like to start from scratch learning the basis of a new OS that because I fear Vista would be less stable or slower. Aero is nice too, even if there was already Beryl on Linux. Soon or later newer apps will be designed for Vista and I fear we'll have to migrate, and when games requiring DX10 will be out gamers will want to switch to Vista anyway.

Thx for the service optimization link. But careful about the changes you make there. I'd stick with the "safe" option and it's always better to create a restore point first before you make any changes.

Guys, this isn't a discussion on the merits or failings of Vista

Hi Jay,

im not sure you need Bitdefender, PC Tools and AVG running at the same time? That may be part of your problem?

BitDefender = Anti Virus (Only)
PC Tools = Firewall (I dont like Vista's Firewall)
AVG = Antispyware

Vista seems to be running quicker now, I disables some stuff and change what starts up, Ran Sfc.exe and it all faster that what it was, but its not to slow.

Thanks.

Good point Nick

I noticed that as well but Bitdefender is the antivirus, PC tools is the firewall and it's AVG anti-spyware and not the Antivirus.

I think it could help to get rid of bitdefender and use AVG instead and use XP's firewall instead of PC Tools.
