Windows Vista was well ahead of its time...

Windows Vista was well ahead of its time. It's only hated because it served as a poorfag filter who were still using shitty pcs that could barely run Windows XP.

I'm surprised more people here don't use it. I believe it was the last version of Windows not to have telemetry bullshit by default, or in the case of 7, backported via updates.

OP
Do you realize your screenshot shows a "Restart Explorer" button on the right click menu of the desktop
That's pretty fucking bad to need that there, isn't it?

Ok, now run it on a Northwood/Prescott Pentium 4 with 512 MB DDR RAM, GeForce FX and some Maxtor IDE HDD. Now run XP on the same rig (it was still SP2 at the time of Vista's launch) and compare the speeds.

>using an outdated vulnerable OS that hasn't been patched in years
With the amount of retards on this board I'm surprised more people here don't use it too.

vista looks cool desu

No fucking difference.
t. Used Vista on Celeron M 1.6 GHz laptop with 384 megs of ram.

Do you realize it's not Vista on the screenshot?

there were a time when a vista installation was just 2GB with all the necessary functionality using the vlite tool.

>he has a screenshot of windows 7 with a windows vista theme saved as "windows_vista.png"
EXTREME YIKES!

It was certainly a significant step in the evolution of Windows. For me it marks the point when Windows started changing for the worse, but to each their own.

Imagine being this delusional

It was years late and it was under done.
Vendor driver support was inadequate.
Hardware requirements were understated for marketing reasons.

>outdated vulnerable OS
Worlds best antivirus and computer security system - Common Sense™ should be just enough...
every operating system is potentially unsafe.
Even WinDOS 10 can't stand idiots using computers.

Vista theme was pretty awesome

>not getting Vista Inspirat for Windows XP

>Windows Vista was well ahead of its time.
In taking an hour to open a .zip file, yes.
Vista won every competition for slowness.

My computer was no slouch, either. That 2006 rig served me just fine until 2014 running XP.

>said no one except dumb OP: ever
Don't kid yourself with nostalgia, kiddo. Specially if you don't know about the alternatives.

I remeber

Xp64 ran so we'll that mechanical drives would boot almost as fast as SSD.
