Vista?

Miscellaneous Forums/Win32 Discussion/Vista?

1) It is a memory hog. I wouldn't even think about installing Vista unless you have 2GB RAM or more -- it'll run with 1 GB, but it'll be swapping to disk like crazy. Less than 1 GB and it will be a slideshow instead of an OS.

2) It looks like you actually want to use your computer. Allow or Deny?

Anyway, there aren't necesarily any big -problems- anymore after SP1, just the myriad of annoyances, some of which are bigger than others. certain things you can mitigate or work around, other's you're stuck with. There's little benefit to Vista, other than the arguably prettier GUI. I can't really think of any major benefits.

Overall: a resounding "Meh".

(I do run it at my office computer myself. The file finder absolutely bugs the snot out of me though. Anyone know of a basic file finder that's more or less identical to the win2000 finder that'll work proiperly under Vista?)
