Vista runs amazingly on some surprisingly modern hardware. 6-7th gen intel cpus and gtx 10 series graphics cards. I have a cursed image of a Core 2 Duo running Vista with a GTX 1070 it's pretty funny. Also fun fact there are Windows 7 drivers for RTX 30 series gpus but not Windows 8 drivers for them. If you want an idea of how much harder Windows 8 flopped than Windows Vista.
As a kid, my first PC was on XP, and then like in 2012 I got a "new" pc with Vista on it And, I did with that until later when I got to 10 (and then went to Linux) As a kid I didn't knew that Vista was bad, it was fine as it was supposed to do, run games and endure the viruses I would get by downloading stuff from weird websites
Windows vista is the red headed step child. XP and 7 are fantastic but vista is the strange in between that also kinda wants to be MacOS. I prefer 7 but my god am I nostalgic for the style of vista
Vista was awesome, the only problem was that hardware at the time wasn't ready for the software upgrade, so it ran like shit on most systems upgrading from XP. On modern hardware Vista runs like butter. I would gladly go back to Vista if modern hardware drivers supported it. I still have a gaming PC running windows 7 and I much prefer it over my Windows 10 system.
No. It wasn't as bad as people like to claim it was. The problem was that Microsoft vastly overestimated the average computer specs of the time, and people incorrectly assumed if XP could run on their system Vista would be able to.
XP before SP2 was a nightmare and nobody had hardware to run it properly. Vista had the same problem but the internet was more popular, then nobody remembered those hardware leaps to run a recent OS at the time.
As far as I remember, we don't have good memories of Vista. I used to have a Vista laptop, that was extremely slow and prone to endless loops since day one, we then discovered that the issue was some system utilities occupied too much ram, and we couldn't deactivate em. When we upgraded to 7, the issue disappeared, it wasn't any virus, it was Vista itself 😂
i can say the same, i used windows vista till 2017 when i had problems and more i reinstalled windows vista and i enjoyed it always for home and professional purposes.
Hey i never hated windows vista i used for many many years like till up 2017 and i had problems few times and stuff but when i did i renstalled it and i liked it and people hated it because they did not read what hardware should be used for it and had crashed pc hardware and all , but vista in its time been really amazing , people just dont know how to use computers and been extremly ignorant about what os require hardware to work well..
Oh, and we actually did a Windows Vista Discord call, yeah it works, even screen sharing and camera capturing works.
I don’t see why they don’t just officially support XP. It’s a simple program anyway.

Cool
Replacing the CMOS battery is very cheap and will let the calendar run again
@@jer4rud0it can run without that if it’s plugged in lmao 😂

Linux is pretty good too, I like linux, and the fact I can make it look just like vista.

How does vista want to be macOS but 7 doesn’t? 7 and vista are VERY similar operating systems.
