Anyone used a copy? Is it possible to use Windows Update and install SP1 (etc)?

Enterprise edition? ultimate is ultimate.
Ahh no, it shows up as ultimate corporate on torrent sites, i'm sure it'll tell you in the comments of whatever torrent you download.

Not true. I just installed a copy without activation.

Vista eats RAM. At one point doing something on my Mac, loaded a program up and all 2GB was used

It uses ram efficiently, there's a difference.

That's just techie talk. It's shit, it's shit. Bollocks! Change is different, change is hard, but change happens. All our guys say the same. However, it's out there and people use it so sort yourself out and use it (you have had years to use xp and learn it). One of out guys spent more than half a day trying to configure the wireless when i was off, withing 10 minutes i had it running this morning.

Why do you have guys working for you that can't set up wireless, no matter what OS it is.
Why did it take you 10 minutes. it's 30 seconds worth max?

Depends on the state of config after someone has been in there and bastardised it.
My dads laptop runs Vista and it's terrible. That's not being afraid of new stuff, that is waiting for a relatively new computer to do simple stuff.

To be fair, the lad working on the call knows his stuff. Not sure what he was doing tbh. Probs just over worked, under paid and lost all intrest..
Looked as though he had installed a load of crap that was bungled with the router which stopped him connecting to any other wireless networks without knowing where to look. Had set up the wireless so you could not connect to an unsecure network, had set up IE so he went through a proxy and had pointed the DNS servers to what i could see was his local router on a 172 IP. Quite strange.
Bear in mind, i talked him through this on the phone having to remote access to his laptop.

How much ram has it got, you need at least a gig but it is quite bad in slower computers.
I've got cheap dells in the house and they all run it fine and i've got no performance issues on my main system.
All I use xp for is legacy apps, like an older vagcom I had to use.
XP although fast (it would be, the computers have had a few years since it came out) is getting a bit long in the tooth, it's nearly 2 generations old.

There is nothing wrong with Vista  It's down to the hardware, all the crap pre-installed and the user.
