Windows 7 or vista..?

[sammypetter]

Hi to all
I am planning to buy new laptop.But confused little which system to buy.So please share your experience so i can get some ideas.which one is better..?

There's loads of places giving discount on PC's and laptops that use Vista as the operating system.I think that tells it's own story.

That said,I haven't used Windows 7 yet.I still use XP which I'm happy with.

I did try Vista though and had problems with it,though I'm far from a PC geek

My 18month old boy broke my old laptop (XP) and i had to replace with Windows 7 and its unbelievably good, even drivers for my old printer werent available and windows 7 lets you run xp drivers in compatability mode which is pukka.

I know enough people who have upgraded to Vista then gone back to XP and Vista has so many problems with patches etc.

I love XP and Windows 7 but would avoid Vista at all costs IMO

HTH

Been on vista years and its full of problems etc now on W7 and its already a better system smoother running and so far no compatability issues

Windows 7 gets my vote next in line windows XP as for vista its needs an ASBO slapped on it having used it if that was the only system I wouldnt bother with a computer.

It seems a bit of a p... take that any other product you buy has an expectation to work or you can get a refund or replacement if your not satisfied but a computer program once bought is none returnable whatever problems you find and you have to wait for a patch to repair it if you issue a complaint to microsoft . Is this the only product that works in this way???

W7...

Win XP works fine for me, Vista had problems.

Got to go for Windows 7... if not Windows XP. Avoid Vista like the plague (worst OS ever in my opinion). Had 7 for a while now and it is smooth - no probs whatsoever.

A Laptop with Windows 7 would be a wise choice!

Windows XP Pro still for me. Prefer to let all the techno junkies try out 7 first because theres bound to be something wrong with it. HA HA
