I HOPE VISTA WILL BE A WIN 2000 UPGRADE

Started Mar 29, 2006

Strengths: Neglible improvement from the initial release. Increased Bill Gates' net worth by 8 billion dollars from last year.

Weaknesses: Can't handle CPU intensive and RAM hungry applications like Autodesk 3ds MAX8 in developing games. The OS becomes extremely unstable and regularly crashes 3ds, even with 4 Gbs of RAM!

An operating system based on C++ is far less stable than that based on UNIX (Mac OS X, Linux, etc.). I had to revert back to Win 2000 (SP4 with Rollup 1) and now things run a lot better. Overall, XP is adequate for everyday stuff, boys who play the latest games my company puts out and the self-proclaimed, techno-guru geniuses (I pity you) who rank XP right up there with Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

For the rest of the disillusioned, I strongly advise that you get Win 2000 and download SP4 with Rollup 1 for now and then wait for Windows Vista SP2 to arrive. Let's make Bill earn his billions!

NICE! That is exactly what I thought. Just posted a question on the 3dsmax forum and haven't heard anything. I am reloading my Dell Precision M60 and have chosen to stick with win2000. As this is a Dedicated Max 8 mobile workstation.
