    Why Windows Vista (SP1+) is Better Than Windows 7

    in Windows Vista

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    quoting guy from article...

    challenge someone to list 7 reasons why Windows 7 is better than Windows Vista

    1. has MinWin with kernel

    2. much better file manager

    3. not so agressive with RAM pre-alocating aka eating it

    4. much improved taskbar, the old stacking was terrible and thumbnails in vista were useless

    5. Win7 was built on top of Vista SP1 codebase, so yeah its better by default

    6. is more modular with components/removal than vista is

    7. ... ?

    I'm missing 7th :P

    ... so they don’t really count. Those could easily be implemented into Vista

    well hell, you can say that for Vista -> XP, XP has capability of many things that Vista had ...

    Microsoft later attempted to “prove” that they had fixed Vista with the Mojave Experiment ...

    Evidently, over 90% of the participants thought it was great and an improvement over XP

    this was a scam, nobody even wondered what uneducated IT people did they pick

    and what educated IT ones they did, and how many

    Now, if there were a way to recreate the "convex" Vista-style taskbar without resorting to error-prone hacks

    there is a way, but doubt you'd want to go that way

    Windows 7 build 6801, last one that had Vista taskbar in use (while new taskbar was disabled), and you still get Windows 7 explorer

    basically you'd run Vista SP1 with Windows 7 explorer and Direct X 10.1

    but no updates would work that of Win 7 RTM/SP1

    and you'd have a bit buggier OS with some features missing that are in RTM of 7

    Win 7 Security

    in Windows 7

    I'm annoyed how in both XP and Win 7 (and probably vista is no better)

    you or if you make an app, can enter/login as System so easy

    security sucks in windows...

    heck just look how easy you can terminate PC, just kill crss system (its hilarious how you actually are allowed to do it)

    MS Support for Vista Ending!

    in Windows Vista

    well Win7's taskbar was in beggining simmiliar to vista's tho it had more gradient look (M1-M2 builds)

    as for "lite", I agree here, AFAIK vista had frame rate issues with DWM, and honestly only with SP2 vista can be compared with Win7

    for unknown reason it was slow to me, and quite unresponsive in some areas

    not to mention that annoying copy and delete bug where they put calculating as priority more than doing the **** job itself ...

    Windows 8 First Impressions

    Apple made a study and came to the conclusion that Working touch only on PCs is an ergonomic disaster.

    a study is needed to conclude this ? ... oh my whatever...

    one can do it by simply raising hands and holding them for 20 seconds

    Windows 8 First Impressions

    I don't like it simply because they ruined the concept of serious OS

    if we go back to Whistler, many disliked that next version (XP) would look so painted and ugly

    and naturally Vista followed

    I greet skinning with open arms, and think that OS should indeed look more nicer than just plain old gray flat panel look

    but there should be line drawn to what is serious and efficient

    now comes 8 that turns workstation into child playground

    seriously Metro is beginning of crapiness

    this move doesn't make user focus on OS and/or how to use it but to most lazy ineffective cluttered UI to which even biggest id*** will praise but still

    because its Windows OS that will need HUGE maintainance and thus such user will complain for various stuff as it always goes with windows os...

    now many complain how start menu is crap and how this start screen is sooo much better

    well who says that start menu's function was even that of start screen in 1st place ?

    AFAIK and this goes since 95 era, start menu always showed all installed programs and additional features (accesability, system tools, networking etc...)

    start screen does not

    and what is even worse its ran upon IE which makes IE again needed to be in core of OS

    the next thing they brag about is faster search... doh there were great and better alternatives to this since ~2005

    take UltraSearch for example, it reads directly from MFT - no need for databases or indexing or whatnot...

    and manipulates with files like you do from within File manager aka Explorer

    to me that they make Tablet UI OS for desktop is ridiculous, as much as I hate to say "apple got it right", but they did

    Desktop workstation and Tablet deserve separate OS-es, or atleast same OS core with UI that is made for specifically desktop or tablet

    now with all this web social bull s*** integrated, the OS concept goes even more worse...

    I just couldn't believe when Ballmer on last conference sold all that crap to people how all people he knows are now so "close to him"

    how virtual life and life are same

    I mean c'mon...

    sure technology and OS-es need to evolve but this is not the way...

    instead to patch NT holes they have they focus on... well I won't even describe it :P

    Share your win7 Performance Score Here

    OS can't complete mine because it can't detect what CPU I have

    hilarious since CPU-Z and Everest can

    also I find it quite dumb that it takes Final score based on worst calculation, you can have everything of 5.0 score and 1 thing of 1.0

    and it will score you 1.0

    winre.wim

    in Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    story goes

    my win7 dvd is rt7lite-d, thus it does not have recovery options on it

    now since I read that winre.wim is working(?) with that recovery thing on OS DVD, then I have no use of it on my hard drive

    so question is can I then delete it or windows loads this file in normal mode too ?

    new Hardware and drivers will force people to switch

    year ago I swore I'd stay on XP long after its extended support ends... behold the irony, I'm on "7" now

    reason: newer Hardware that XP sucked with + GDI object limitations problems it has and were never fixed

    Problem with image in win7

    in Setup Billboard Screens for Windows

    Posted · Edited by vinifera

    problem is in custom skin/visual theme that you use

    from image, I would say who ever made it, either made upper window frame higher so buttons don't align anymore

    or simply screwed up the positions of buttons only

    maybe I'm wrong...

    is this system wide bug or only on that setup/installer ?
