I can say i was once a vista hater, but when i decided i wanted to build a media center pc, i used vista ultimate. After turning off UAC,i think vista is awesome. Definately a step up from XP. But i would admit if i put vista on my older p4 comp with only 1gb of ram i think i would have a worse experience than i do now with my core 2 duo and 4 gigs of ram(and before the nerdcore try to call me out, yes i realize only 3.2gb is usable...)

the core 2 series chips are 64-bit. You could set your BIOS to use larger memory addressing and actually get all four gigs if you wanted to with Ultimate.

@tcgiant ...as long as he used a 64-bit verison of Vista Ultimate, which he may not have.

Unless they're on a laptop, people really have no business griping about how memory-hungry Vista is. If you're on an older desktop, consider the extra ~40-50 bucks it now costs for 4 gigs of RAM to be part of the upgrade cost. If you're buying a new system that comes with Vista, you're a retard (or the vendor is a dishonest prick) if the system comes with less than 2 gigs stock.

Vista is so much bloated you actually need to have a more powerful and bigger capacity computer to make it work as good as xp. That is not innovation, that is a step back. That is called scamming people to spend more. Why do you need an OS to demand so much when programs that you actually use doesn't? Not to mention electricity consumption on this is like astronomical.
