What version of vista do you use

SRTDodge05 · 06-01-2008, 07:21 PM

What version of vista are you using?

XJ. · 06-01-2008, 07:58 PM

Oh, cool - since my poll had a mental breakdown, this should prove interesting.

SRTDodge05 · 06-01-2008, 08:02 PM

I have used every version of vista and i find the business edition to be the best one.

iMogal · 06-01-2008, 08:21 PM

What is it about the bussiness one you find best?
Price for what you get?

Just wondering, cuz, I'm thinking about jumping onboard....
Good thread, should prove interesting...

I find that the business edition atleast for me runs the best on all my hardware. Its very easy to tweak and it has just the right options i need. Ive used the ultimate edition and a lot before and it has a lot of junk that i dont need and just slows down my system. Ive been running the business 32bit edition for a long time and i really like it the best. I tried the the 64bit but there isnt one good reason to switch.

ATINUT · 06-01-2008, 08:30 PM

Vista Ultimate 64bit Edition.

Ford Freak · 06-01-2008, 08:33 PM

Home Premium on my laptop. I have a spare 3.5" drive that I have Home Premium installed on for times I feel like messing with Vista on the desktop.

D'oh! I voted for the wrong version.

I would have preferred XP Pro on the laptop. The price was great though.

Vista Beeswax 64 SP1...

Wingit · 06-02-2008, 01:18 AM

Ultimate 64 bit SP1....has not eaten any small children or animals so far, actually rather tame....

I chose "None Vista Blows!" which is unfortunate. Seems to force people who have never even used Vista (such as myself) to appear as though we have an anti-Vista opinion.

XJ. · 06-02-2008, 01:20 PM

I'm leaning toward a 64b version, so I don't waste 1GiB of my 4GiB of RAM. I've used Vista Business and Vista Home Premium. Home Premium did seem to run a bit slower and had a lot of stuff I didn't need (media center for example). The Business edition has things like built in backup which is really important to me. Vista Business is the XP Pro of the Vista lineup, IMHO.

zman88 · 06-02-2008, 03:25 PM

One running 64 ultimate, two running Home premium.

JimTram · 06-02-2008, 04:52 PM

Gee no wonder I had troubles - I was using "Home Basic" till I gave up and went back to XP.

PeterT · 06-02-2008, 07:48 PM

I have Ultimate 64 & 32 discs, because I got them free through the Windows Feedback Program offer.

Griff · 06-02-2008, 09:52 PM

I use Home premium 64bit.
