Windows Visual or Windows Experience

vista aero


I run Windows Vista in a dual boot with Windows XP. I was feeling mixed on whether or not I liked Windows Vista more or not and then I figured it out. I noticed when my computer was booting and I had 30 seconds to make a choice of Vista or XP I went through this thought process:

Do I have something to get done today? If so I went to XP

Do I have time to play around and deal with a bit more annoying things? If so I went to Vista

I was a bit surprised at my thoughts on this, but it’s true Vista doesn’t support everything I use and it is slower than XP. I think the names say it all, XP is for Experience and Vista is more of a visual thing. So, it comes down to, do you want to see pretty things or do you want to to have the experience of getting work done faster?

    Although I was under the impression that new versions of programs were supposed to be better than the last and therefore VISTA should combine both the visual and functional aspects, I suppose, if I have to choose, I would choose to “get my work done faster!” Don’t guess I’ll be making the switch anytime soon………

    Yes, new programs should be better & faster! Microsoft could fix some of the annoyances with the next big service pack release, but we will have to wait months to find out if that’s going to happen.
