Funny, everybody rants about AEN's board, so I come visit this one just to find out that the people here don't give a f*ck about "newbies".

Heh, everyone was a newbie once, even Kodoichi...

WinUAE isn't easy enough???

Not true. Vista running on a 2.6ghz and 1 Gig of ram with an old 9200 256m ATi card and it runs super smooth here. And it loads faster then XP. Oh and my CPU is a crappy celeron. So resource and power hungry Vista is not!

Yeah I tested it on almost the same hardware and it ran fine, unfortunately it didn't support some hardware I don't have replacements for yet (e.g. an old-ish Promise ATA controller), so I'm back on XP for now. But I'd love to use some of the new features "under the hood" like symbolic links. That's assuming it's possible to tune down or turn off Aero. I guess if all else fails I could replace it with something like DOpus.

Hmm, this seems rather off-topic in this thread. On the other hand I couldn't make myself read the Vista vs. XP thread.

Jimbo · 14 June 2007, 12:48

I dont think it can be tuned as such. but there is an option to turn it off

Its all nice when its first installed, but after a while im guessing all the nice animations etc will get boring and will all eventually get turned of by most users anyway tbh.

eLowar · 14 June 2007, 12:54

Well at first glance I didn't like how they keep hiding the actual HD contents more and more. The interface seems overly simplified, resulting in more clicks per action than on XP/Explorer. Of course that may partly just be re-arranged things I'm not used to yet.

I'll give it another shot when I got a new controller and can be bothered.

Jimbo · 14 June 2007, 13:03

Yes I agree, Also when i first installed mine I couldnt write to my C: drive. As default the Admin of the PC has no right to write to it, which is very odd. You actually have to give yourself (ADMIN) the permissions do write to the C: drive. There are a few things that you seem you cant do like you could with XP, but after a bit of searching the internet there are ways to set it up so you can do the same as XP. After chucking it around for a couple of days it all comes very easy to work out the differences and how to set it up like you have with your own XP setup.

Ditto. A happy Vista x64 user here, on pretty old components: Athlon64 3000+ with 1GB and PCIEx GF6600GT graphics. Any game works, any proggie floats!

@Shoonay

I thought 64bit Vista had problems with drivers and running 32bit XP games?

I think the games thing is starting to become a non issue... and the drivers thing is the manufacturers fault

Common hardware (ATI/nVidia cards and nForce chipsets, for example) seems to have decent support now.

This is a damn FACT!

The guy I chatted to said he had to reboot his (Vista-powered) desktop PC and he was back on ICQ after less than 2 (two) minutes!!

"Wot? You really did REBOOT in this short time?!"
"Well, yes. "
"Gee, that's the bomb!"
"No but Vista!"

(rest snipped, too much of his Vista ballyhoo talk)

I have no idea what you're on about with this gravedig, but I'm sure it's funny somewhere

andreas · 24 January 2008, 17:02

been browsing EAB for Vista issues, as I will soon be a LEGAL (!) Windows Server 2008 RC1 user; and of course I will also test WinUAE on it

(WinFellow would not be worth the trouble, as I can read here, though)

NLS · 24 January 2008, 20:43

hm, good idea - test it on Longhorn...

I'd do it this weekend maybe (yes I am also a legal user)

andreas · 24 January 2008, 22:28

I did not doubt that you are eh :P
BTW you meant Longhorn Server. Positive reports from Vista are old hat

Well, for real, disregarding people's bashing of MS all the time: this IS a nice trait indeed. Have your Live ID handy and get a legal registration number, valid until June 2008!! No hassles, no silly cracking tools needed to bypass/remove activation. Boy, do I like that!

NLS · 25 January 2008, 11:09

well AFAIK Longhorn was the server part, Vista had another codename... I could be wrong
