I remember it being kinda like placebo - you did, you marvelled at how much faster it's working, but in reality nothing changed. I really liked the look, and it did run smooth unless you had something below the minimum spec(which a lot of people did at the time).
- throwaway48476 1y agoVista problems were largely nvidia driver crashes and low spec machines. Otherwise vista was fine.
- freedomben 1y agoYes, though I think it worth noting that at that point "low spec machines" was like 80% of laptops and maybe 50% of desktops. It also really hurt when you went from XP which ran great to Vista which noticeably dragged on your machine. My friend had an Alienware laptop which absolutely screamed with Vista
- freedomben 1y agoI mostly disliked Vista for a number of reasons, but the looks were incredible. I was actually blown away at the beauty
- throwaway48476 1y agoI liked aero too, XP was too fisher price.
- chuckadams 1y agoXP Media Center Edition had a pretty slick theme, not at all toy-like. To say nothing of the Metro interface in its titular app, though it seems Metro was kind of a dud when they tried to apply it to other apps.
