Did anyone hear abou the rumor of Microsoft replacing Vista next year because Vista was a complete failure?

 

Yes. The new version is scheduled tentatively for 2010 and will be the next version after Vista. There are a couple of code names for it like Vienna and Blackcomb, but supposedly they've decided to call it Windows 7 as you said, at least for now until the next name is decided.

 

Windows 7 sounds really blacd...I perfer blackcomb

 

I can't wait to get rid of Vista, I'm going back to XP.

 

I like Vista

 

Vista only really works if your computer comes with it/made for it. The reason it was a failure is because if you convert from XP to vista it just doesnt work.

 

First I like your avatar and yes I bought my alienware when vista came out with the 64 bit which is great for running Crysis @ 40fps with the resolution really high

 

I have Vista on my laptop (came with it) and it runs great! My son (the computer god that he thinks he is) says that it's something to do with the processor/ram something like that. He said that if you are simply doing an upgrade that you need to upgrade one of those also or it will run like crap. I don't know, somebody that does may be able to fill in the blanks here.

 

Proble with vista is that it uses a lot of ram and the minimum you should have is at least 2 gb, but 1 gb can be enough but a lot slower...I have 12 gb of ddr2 ram since it got really cheap, so I have no problem with running vista

Forget running vista on a single core

 

so he is right?
