Hey cains lair peeps.remeber i poseted the topic about making my own pc.Well when i purchased some parts from ibuypower.com they gave me windows 7 half price for a Windows OS,but is it worth it or should i keep it vista?

I would switch to win7.
Not because it's so great. It's just that Vista is so bad.
If you have below 4 GB Ram stick with XP.
Just my personal opinion.

Please explain why Vista is so bad?

I have one have not had a problem with vista, But as for Win 7 lets just say it out performs XP & Vista

I could write an essay about it.
To put it into a nutshell:
- performance is horrible
- menus are spread like mines in a minefield. It means you need 3 times more mouseclicks to reach the same stuff under XP.
- memory usage: the services loaded by default are wasting memory a lot. Even worse, even when the user is not needing them (DVD Burner, WiFI connection, indexing, etc,)
- brainless DRM implementation
- the UAC is nagging you constantly with useless warnings

^ only to mention a few.

This is the correct answer for me.

about the menus, this thin never bothered me. I dont see it as -
memory usage- like xp doesnt had bunch a useless services loaded? All windows have them.
Win7 have even worst DRM implementation.
UAC is stupid but u can disable it for 5 seconds.
- performance is horrible - how so? I never noticed that.

lol
