been in Boston or I'd have replied soeonr. Thanks for taking the time to raise specific points, it's good to have something to discuss rather than just random muck-flinging You raise some interesting points, too. I think some of them are pretty good, but in some you're a bit wide of the mark. But either way, it's nice to get a discussion going you should sit/skype in on an episode and harangue us live!One criticism I think is fair is that it's easy for a group of geeks, albeit fairly objective journalist geeks, to slip into beat up Microsoft mode. It's such an easy target, and does a lot that's beat-upworthy, but it doesn't always come over in the good nature it should. Most of us use Microsoft products in some way or other, and we do have to give the company credit for some of its more impressive achievements.But Vista is generally regarded FAR more stable than XP Really? It's so stable that Microsoft has rushed SP1 out so fast that it actually had to be recalled because of drumroll stability issues? Wow. That's stable.To be fair, recalling the RC was exactly the right thing to do. The circumstances, especially vis-a-vis your comment, were funny though.Vista has achieved quite a lot, but stability? Only in certain key areas. Important key areas, to be sure, but not system-wide.As far as drivers go, isn't Vista the OS that's supposed to bring userspace drivers en masse to Windows, which is part of what caused so much delay in driver support? And aren't userspace drivers supposed to be so much more secure and stable? Hmm.Driver support is crap, yes, but I think blaming Vista's stability on only that is disingenuous. There are other problems too. Read the update descriptions, and you'll see what some of them are. Vista without aero on a crap spec machine is pretty much the same as XP It is indeed. Until you actually run much in the way of actual apps, that is, especially multimedia-heavy apps. XP isn't doing (in)sanity checks on your video output to make sure it's not showing something with DRM protection.In other areas, though, it IS better indexing your local filesystem (despite not having the magic dbfs stuff) is a lot better IME, though I can't actually point to any stats on that so you'll have to take it as anecdotal. Hibernate and suspend support is vastly improved, no question about that.But time to useful and actual app performance is definitely worse on Vista than XP in many cases. Don't trust benchmarks: USE your systems in parallel and check your own experience. I do: I have a beefy Dell that runs Vista fairly well it's not slow per se, but it's definitely not quick either. And an underpowered HP that runs XP very fast indeed. Exactly the same apps, exactly the same data. Just slower in Vista.I'd dearly love to see the Dell running XP, only I can't because it's locked to Vista. Can we discuss that next? Vista breaking stuff in non-aero mode: I use it as much in classic mode as I do in aero, and this is just dead wrong Sorry, but you're just plain wrong here. Lucky to have not have apps' GUIs break, but wrong. Just because you don't use these apps doesn't mean they don't exist. Widget handling is different in Aero than non-Aero, and that sometimes causes bizarre glitches in button and frame handling if apps aren't explicitly handling it. The apps that I've seen this in all WORK, they just look funny. So is it really a problem? Well yes the visuals are half the experience, just ask the Vista devs! Vista System Requirements: Pretty much the same as Leopard Except that for the last five releases, OSX has become FASTER on the same hardware. Now, that's partly because the sysreqs are high to start with, it's true a Macbook is comparatively high spec compared to a low-end PC notebook. But it's a notable achievement that the same OS is getting optimised with every release. So a Mac user actually sees his system requirements effectively drop with each release, where a PC user sees his jump, and jump massively. What exactly the sysreqs are is irrelevant it's the percentage increment (or vice versa) that people notice. And notice they did all those people didn't start a class action suit because Vista ran nicely on those machine marketed as Vista Ready .Less contentiously: Vista SP1 being 1gig: 32-bit version is 440meg (okay that’s big, but still it’s not MASSIVELY far away from the 340? meg Leopard service pack, I’m wondering where the line is drawn on Service Pack size being acceptable 700MB, I imagine. Because that's the size of a CD, which they'll mail out on request. Larger and the distribution cost doubles, so the outcry would be internal rather than external.To all the people complaining about the large SP, yes, it's a pain, but less of a pain that was anticipated (shouldn't have been a surprise the early release stuff is usually larger than actual release). And exactly how much has your system downloaded from Microsoft Update so far? My bet is: a lot but you don't actually know. Until you do know and can complain on empirical grounds, shut up about 500MB that'll be trickled down anyway. It's not all that big a deal, Greg's right about that.
