Default Windows Vista

Vista is out for about 3 months? What do you guys think of it? I am currently using this on my laptop and no doubt that there is a huge difference between vista and xp. However, I don't really like vista because I think the security is too high.. everytime I change a file in the C drive, it asks permission...and it is kind of annoying..but one thing that I think it is cool is that when you plug in any memory stick, vista can use it to increase your memory.

I think it looks very nice, my brother has it on his laptop and I am saving towards a new computer that comes pre-installed with Vista.

Vista sure looks good, however I feel xp is much more stable and safer at this point, so won’t be switching for another year or so.

I have only tried it once on my friends laptop, looks very nice although it may take some learning i feel! Sticking with XP for the short term anyway like above!

It looks awsome. But, there are many problems i have heard within it, which may have kept me to stick with XP until those are hopefully fixed.

I got an upgrade offer from Dell recently. So, I bought it. But, I am not so happy with Vista. So, I rolled back to Windows XP now.

Vista acc. to me is nothing but just visuals visuals n visuals ..... nd nothing else..
as compared to windows xp which i think is better in terms of compatibility and speed as well and has low requirements

Actually, at first I rather choose windows xp. But because my sister has vista on her laptop, it kinda grows on you. :P now I like it more than xp. xD

for me higher security is better. xD lol.

My Vista has a lots of protection. Also, it's fast. But XP is more vulnerable to viruses, so it slows down a lot. However, it has mostly all the requirements for my needs installed defaulty. I can't really decide which one's better.
