Win10-Hater Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Ok, so I decided to post my browser specs and also some other basic software specs of my Vista computer. Hope others also share their software specs so that we can know each other's computer specs better. Some of my softwares installed on my main Vista pc: Browsers: SRWare Iron Chrome 88 Portable, Mozilla Firefox 86 and IE9 (IE useless for everything except viewing XPS files lol) MS Office 2010 Pro Plus x86 VMware Workstation 12.0.0 Avast Free AV + Malwarebytes free 3.5.1 (I have automated malware scans using task scheduler) Windows fully updated till now (March 2021 as of the time of editing) Edited March 24, 2021 by Win10-Hater updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do. Ha ha ha , whaaaaat !!??!? Vista without the aero interface , it's like a sea without water . Why would anyone even think of using Vista without aero ? Oh , and media center , IE , windows media player , Bitlocker , all regarding remoting , transfer files , ready boost and all other useless to me features removed with VLite.

Almost did and then the inverter on my T60 died (by many accounts it does Vista well even with its specs on the lower end). There's still my T41 but it's just too old with its 2001 GPU (ATi Mobility Radeon 7500). Hope to get a T520/30 or W520/30 someday. That would be a wonderful Vista experience.

Win10-Hater Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 What do you use the t41 for? Windows 2000 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the t530/w530 would do better than the t520/w520 because Ivy Bridge is 22nm and performs as well as Sandy bridge equivalents while using less power and also because Intel HD graphics 4000 is better than hd3000. If you hate the chiclet keyboard then you may be able to replace it with a t520 style 7row keyboard.

If you hate the chiclet keyboard then you may be able to replace it with a t520 style 7row keyboard. The reason why I don't have Ivy Bridge is because here in India, it's quite hard to find old laptops and if you shop on eBay, it literally takes MONTHS to arrive. The Dell latitude e5420 was the only good laptop I could get for myself to use on Vista. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win10-Hater Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hey @Jaguarek62, since when did you start using Vista on your Dell Latitude e6330 and when did you get the laptop? Just wanted to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win10-Hater Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) I wonder why Vista runs blazing fast on my old but trusty Pentium D desktop while Windows 7 runs..... S L U G G I S H L Y when people were raving that 7 ate up less RAM than Vista. Any idea? Edited November 20, 2020 by TECHGEEK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
