    Default Vista, whats the big deal?

    I know there are tons of post about Windows Vista and all of its downfalls. Numerous people with new PC pre-installed with Vista, that are just pulling out there hair.

    I must say I am surprisingly not one of them. And I'm not quite sure. . So I am going to let everyone out there know it is possible.

    I just got my new PC Monday. Dell Inspiron 1525. I upgrade the standard specs to:
    Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
    4GB RAM
    The HDD is still a 5400 RPM, not the best but good.

    First I hated, hated, hated vista. Traktor was crashing left and right. I use:
    Traktor 3.3
    M-Audio Xponent
    M-Audio Conectiv

    I upgraded to SP2, killed a few processes that I wasn't using for DJing. And 2 nights in a row I stress tested the system. Two 6-hour session. Not one problem.

    Am I just lucky? I just feel amazed that it worked with very little effort. I figured I'd try to run Vista and if it didn't work out I would just install XP. No need, saved my self a lot of time.

    Anymore success stories out there?

    I think it's all in how you use your shit. Ok? I mean, if you're gonna fucking download porn and grab warez and shit it doesn't matter what system you use, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

    my desktop only had 1 problem running a pretty old game (i think it's because my vista is 64bit) but absolutely no problems with anything else.
    but it really needs more than 2gig for a decent experience.

    Vista has not given me a single issue yet. *shrug* All Traktor crashes have really been my fault

    I was a happy camper with xp for the longest, I never had the chance to get my hands on a clean copy of vista, but I would tell anyone using any type of MS OS to get a OEM copy to avoid all the extra software addon by Dell/Sony/HP/Etc.

    Once you get the sucker running good with all the drivers & tweaks...make clone of the HD to an ext HD and make 2 partitions C: for OS D: Media (music/data) and make an copy of the HD atleast once a month & weekly update of the Media, being that we come up on alot of music. So in the future if you HD takes a crap on you or your system is acting up, you can always use the last good copy of the HD.
