OK, many myths in this thread. Vista is fine so long as you dont have
software that directly addresses hardware. It will run fine on 1gb of
memory. There is no performance loss, in fact there are increases in
certain areas. It does index everything which can slow down file
operations occasionaly, but this can be disabled. I have been using
Vista since it was released and I am yet to have any problems. I did
upgrade my memory at one stage, but this was only so I could run
several instances of virtual pc, as you would also have to do with xp
If you are an engineer and you want to fiddle with everything and run
outdated software, then Vista is a no go. If you want something that
works out of the box on a new pc then vista is fantastic. IF you want
to install vista on old hardware, then I would probably give it a
miss.
And if you need Vista to work with old hardware, also give it a miss ?
Many embedded designs have long version control time-lines, and need to
work with fixed software versions.
Of course, this market is so small, Microsoft do not care.
