HardOCP Spends 30 Days With Vista

boyko.at.netqos writes "Hardocp.com has published "30 days with Vista" — with the same author from "30 days with Linux" doing the evaluation. And he doesn't like it. From the article: 'Based on my personal experiences with Vista over a 30 day period, I found it to be a dangerously unstable operating system, which has caused me to lose data [...] Any consideration of the fine details comes in second to that one inescapable conclusion. This is an unstable operating system.'"

    That's basically damage correction, a feature that OpenGL-based systems (see: Mac OS X) have had for a looong time. It's nothing new, and in fact, it's something that Windows should have had years ago. Vista is much slower than XP. I have had a number of friends decide to uninstall Vista due to the speed hit that their systems took. On a system that's even capable of using the new interface, XP beats Vista in terms of raw speed, especially XP's classic interface.
