yeah i'm not kidding mate, however since vista is desinged to perform better on dual core processors the machine is fast as hell, the boot time is like 19 seconds and coming from sleep mode its like 6 seconds

Use your XP cd to rewrite your mbr.

Forget what the command is... maybe fixboot /mbr or something like that?

Re: Nightmare vista uninstall

well after another frutiless effort filled weekend of trying to get XP MCE to work, I rolled back to Vista. While vista may not have compatibility with a shit load of hardware out there, I will admit that a lot of the stuff built into it not only appears to be stable, but WOW the TV Tuner card support / encoders / decoders work so well, my TV Tuner actually appears better through S-Video out rather than my actual cable plugged into my TV.

Have no choice now but to have my 360 stream live TV across the network and have my audio through the Xbox rather than bust my hump trying to make my creative sound card work with vista.

That's really obnoxious. XP ran comfortably on what, 256? I get that we can expect an increase in RAM requirements any time there is a upgrade in an OS, but having anything south of 2 GB being too little is just absurd.

well windows vista uses a tecnology called indexing for faster search and also there is a sleep mode for the computer plus I play a lot of games on my pc. 2gb is excellent for the new OS i know it sounds lame but microsoft has been lame since 1975.

I guess part of it is what I see Apple doing with 256 in OS X. Vista still pales by comparison, far as I can tell...

Re: Nightmare vista uninstall

Vista is better then OS X by far. It pales in comparison.

Re: Nightmare vista uninstall

Is OS-X based on Linux architecture ? I Know both Tiger and Leopard are and no MS product could ever top that in performance + stability

Re: Nightmare vista uninstall

Its based on BSD.

Its been happening for years but computers are so powerful that programmers get away with sloppy coding. 900MB for just those few things is obscene in my book. I'd honestly say all those things should run on 128meg...

erm... XP has indexing too. As for sleep mode... that shouldn't take up much mem at all.
