seriously, this thread -_-

Vista ultimate was quite decent, people said it sucked mostly cause it was very different to xp. Win7 is essentially Vista V2, best of vista and best of xp.

As for calling it winblows well I deal with macs and mactards every day. Both OS's have their good and bad sides In general windows 7layout is more logical but not as logical as xp. Mac os can do some cool things as well. Both os's I often go wtf were they thinking its so much easier on mac or windows.

I have no input on other linux's as I dont use them.

If you were to reinstall grab a copy of win7 however minus quirks vista is basically the same

Nothing is as good as XP, Xp just got old and out dated unfortunately.

Might I suggest before getting stuck in a mindset about an OS and how it works, give it a chance and use it for a few months. Being made to use and support both you learn the best and worst of each OS. At the end of the day excluding supporting infrastructure e.g. if you have other windows or mac machines on your network etc, they are basically the same. Same quirks, different layout and for the most part can do the same thing with some exceptions.


tldr; Get a copy of Win7 either 32 or 64bit if the CPU supports it, install it, update it, enjoy it

As for win8, not sure but my early impressions of it using it for a little here is I wouldnt touch it yet, i hate the layout.
