> Is Vista a virus?
Bookmark topic
you may have heard a rumour that Vista is a virus ... no, vista is not a virus. here's what viruses do:
they replicate quickly. ok, vista does that.
viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so. ok, vista does that.
viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk. ok... vista does that, too.
viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. sigh ... vista does that too.
viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow and the user will buy new hardware. yup, that's with vista, too.
until now it seems that vista might in fact be a virus, but there are some differences.
viruses are well supported by their authors, run on most systems and are universally compatible.
their program code is fast, compact, efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
so, windows vista is
not a virus.

Everybody said the same thing about XP when it first came out and they were running it on 450Mhz celerons with 256Mb RAM and 8Mb on board graphics
Obviously M$ will try to get people to upgrade to Vista but what they really mean is "go out and buy a new computer with Vista already on it".
It's not that bad, all you need is a decent entry-level dual core processor, 2Gb RAM and DX 10 compatible on board graphics and it'll run like a dream. Those aren't exactly amazing specs by todays standards and you can pick up a complete desktop system like that for less than £400.

He is very keen to get windows 7 out. I read somewhere that several heads rolled over the multiple delays and numerous leaked alpha releases, I think he sees Vista as an omen of bad luck!

there is no way they can stop supporting XP yet, even though they say there going to, am pretty sure they will get a bit of a kicking seen s many business's purchased xp and didn't upgrade because of the price, they stop supporting there will be trouble for MS
