Vista really doesn't have many problems, a lot of hardware has problems with Vista though. Initially the problem was that microsoft didnt provide enough information to hardware manufacturers on how to code proper drivers. Things have changed since, if you buy good hardware with properly coded drivers today, you'll have a very stable system. Windows 7 uses the same driver architecture as Vista, and now hardware manufacturers know how to code for it. (There are

I remember the good old days, when an OS was just an OS... I don't want a "complete" system, I want a platform to run my own choice of software. Windows 7 seem to be going in the right direction. As for Ubuntu to be better... Well... Sure... It has its good bits, but to run the software I like I need to install literally hundreds of different librarypackages, some of the HUGE, which includes 2 complete desktop systems (gnome and KDE). I need perl, tex, python and whatever... It's

The multicore feature is awesome if it actually works. Quad core CPU + 4x dual core GPU... Now that'll be horsepower to call mom about.

With a recent computer, you will want a recent OS. Most likely it'll be Windows 7, it's looking real good from

Reply to object desktop on two computers? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I'm using 2 computers, my main computer (running Vista) and my lab/guest computer (running XP). They're both on simultaneously, but most of the time I'm the only one using them (they are in separate rooms, so I don't use them at the same time). Occasionally I let a friend use my lab computer for whatever they need to do on the net while sitting at my own computer. @Stardock; I suppose in a strict sense, this violates the EULA, and I might get in trouble for writing this post

As far as I'm concerned, this is a minor problem with the complete suite. It's new software, bugs are likely. Internationalization on windows is a pain in the neck. Life goes on. Noone died from lack of bootskin (yet ;P ). Enjoy your themed desktop, the world doesn't end because you got the default picture at boot... I doubt you got OD Ultimate because you wanted bootskin pro. And so on forever and ever and ever and ever... :)
