I am just curious out of all the people on here that have or have used Windows Vista, how well did you like or not like it. Please describe your experience, either Good or Bad? I personally use both, I use XP at work and Vista at home. Starting out I did not care much for it, but after I started using it more and learned how to tweak it and disable the junk I did not want, I am much more comfortable using it. It does provide some nice features compared to XP, but is is also a resource hog, to really be able to use Vista you need at least 2 GB of RAM, 1 just won't do it. So let me know your thoughts. Thanks

I currently use Vista on my laptop but have the look and feel set up to be more like XP. I enjoy the added functionality you get with Vista but am still coming to grips with the changes in Word etc! Overall though I think I do prefer XP but seeing as the buttons etcI am using have been set to resemble XP I will give Vista a little while longer before making a final decision which one I prefer. Most people I know by the way don't really like Vista at all. Apart from looking nice it IS a resource hog and takes some adjustment to get used to.

I actually like windows Vista more, for some reason. I hear so many people hate that type of version, but in my opinion, it's been more safer for me.
