So browsing the forum I see that many people are using Vista with their Magicjack. I also noticed that many other people I know are starting to use Vista. So is Vista still crap? Back then i got it when it came out (Vista Ultimate) I installed it and it had so many bigs that i went back to windows XP. So are the bugs worked out? OR are people just using it because it comes with their computer and XP is no longer available. (Loaded on a computer) Well lets see with this poll.

i was advized many years ago to wait until atleast the third version of anything microsoft puts out as they spend very little time with acctual beta. thier releases have been compared to alpha level.

I would say that is true. XP is at SP-2 and is good. Advance comments on SP-3 is that there is a large performance boost.

Dell still offers XP on some new machines. Now if I could only get them to leave out AOL Eatrhlink, etc. etc. I would be a happy camper.

I received a new Dell desktop with XP without any crap on it just last month around Thanksgiving. Cool

Linux! (with VMWare Server + whatever Windoze you need) -- end of discussion for me.

Best (i.e., most stable) Windoze OS ever made? win2k + SP4 IMHO

Do you know how many people I talk to who are downgrading from Vista to XP?? LOL

(Awaiting postings by Mac zealots in 3 .. 2.. 1 .. Laughing

-- and they're running Linux as well)

Yup, many people don't like Vista still i guess. Like you said, I see people who are buying new computers preloaded with vista installing xp on it.

No, you have to buy it, but I am not sure the exact cost of XP these days.

I feel the current build (Vista Home Premium) with at least 19 patches is very solid and I am enjoying it. It is running my MJ just fine although I have to unplug it on reboot. I think I should play with the USB settings in the BIOS of my HP Pavilion and see if that makes a difference.
