Because it uses way more ram then XP and Mac OS X. That laptop model you have is the same one I used to own with the same OS.

I just found Vista to be not much more then a XP and Mac OS X hybrid that used way to much resources ><

Its good that people do seem to like it though. I see its tide with XP ^^

My friends half sister has vista on a dell laptop and she says it runs fine but she has 4 gigs of ram. Most people have 2 or 3 I think so how good her PC runs should not really count. But I think it is true that most of Vistas problems are gone.

My father says XP ran really bad when it first came out... but I was too young to remember I think ^^

Uhhhh... I'm on Windows XP Media Center.. uhh... 2002 I believe. Yeah, old. I bought the computer in 2007, and it was a 2005 model... I was looking to go cheap. It's not a bad computer. Came with 1 GB of ram, a 250 GB hard drive... uhh, a really crappy graphics card... and some other stuff I don't know, or care about. When I get a decent amount of money, I'm going to build my own super computer, from the ground up, so I can be 1337. :lol:... :dry:

Yeah, it is really nice. I get 1440x900.

I especially like it when playing games or running programs like Terragen or GIMP alongside other programs. The forums look good on it, too.

Your computers sound very nice! Lots of Hard Drive space.

When the new 500 GB HDD that fits in Macbooks comes out I might get it and put it in my laptop. Even though 250 GB is lots already... you can never have to much Hard drive space =D

Well, now I wish I could go back and change my answer, because I now use Ubuntu, a distribution of Linux. Its reliable, it actually has a program where all the applications are on there are listed in an organised catalogue. When they're installed, the applications menu on the top lists programs by their category (Games, Office, Graphics, Accessories). I'll post a picture of how it looks after school. Of course, you could just go onto the Wikipedia article and look at it there.

I remember I really liked Ubuntu when I tried it. Its actually lots like Mac OS X. At least I think so. Thats kind of why I liked it. I didn't keep it though... because I like Mac OS X fine and it came on my computer.

But.. if you have windows and want something new... but dont want to pay for a Mac. I think everyone will agree that you should download Ubuntu! ^^
