Hello everyone, well after I finally bought Vista Home Premium I have decided to upgrade back to Server 2003. Yes its sad but true, why some of you may ask. Lets see

1) Server 2003 does not have as much cr@p as Vista, does. Seriously do we need all of those hungary system resources?
2) Far more reliable and stable (does not randomly crash)
3) Has decent boot ups and shutdown times, unlike Vista where in the time its doing it; you could go to Mars and back
4) Software and games support is better, lets face it. How many apps lag or just run like sh@t on Vista?
5) My system feels faster (sure it has 4GB RAM); but does Vista really need to use over 2GB when I am doing NOTHING.

On this note I do not think I wasted my money, I am sure Vista will be decent after SP2, or if SP1 is fixed up

you'll be crawling back. Probably to XP

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with Vister...again.

With Aero off, DreamScenes off, a lot of other crap off, I still idle at a minimum 800mb RAM usage.

Vista is the worst most hungry OS I can remember. Even with all that fancy waste of space Aero off. I hate Vista so much.

[TheBearLT]

Yeah, server 2003 is quite good

[Vishal Gupta]

lol and I was also deciding to go back to good ol server 2003 today. Even after installing SP1 RTM my Vista is not running smoother. So I'll also downgrade to Server 2003 soon.

Hey enjoy, listen I applied the theme and most of the stuff works except Vista Explorer: using styler.. Any ideas

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ Thanks. Are you having problems with Styler? I think it requires .NET Framework and VC++ library files.
