What OS does your school use?

[Flisker]

Well, our school did have Vista computers but they downgraded it lmao.

Mainly XP, but the Music Department have around 25 iMacs.

Its doing far better than Windows XP did this time after launch and XP was being put into schools very quickly.

I don't think so. I see absolutely no Vista computers around my entire school board, and as you said it's been out for two years. Where's your proof of this?

[Firehorse]

it should be checkboxes because my school uses xp and OSX

[Breakfloor]

my friends school got GIVEN vista from microsoft themselves. how lucky?

So you insult me by saying I have no knowledge of hardware nor software because I rather back XP as opposed to Vista? That's ridiculous. It's personal preference. I don't care if Vista is supposed to have improved RAM management, it's pointless due to how much more system resources Vista occupies. (I've been forced to use Vista on my laptop for a year now) the user account control is pointless, many useful applications are incompatible with Vista (including a handful of games. FS9 wont work for many with the aero experience, and I've tried it on two Vista machines to discover that my display driver fails..not impressed). My Intel Centrino Duo came with Home Premium, and I couldn't even handle the aero-experience without sticking an extra 2gbs of ram in my system. XP beats Vista in benchmarking tests (quite disappointing, seeing as it's with SP1) http://news.cnet.com/Windows-XP-outs...3-6220201.html . Here's a breakdown I got from http://blogulate.com/content/xp-beats-windows-vista/:




The only features I admire on Vista are the indexing feature and the extra undo options in mspaint. I can get Google desktop and get indexing on XP.

The minimum specifications for XP are also much lower than Vista. HTC is selling 800mhz CPU, 512MB UMPCs equipped with Vista...that’s totally ridiculous.

After having both XP and Vista I'd choose Vista over XP any day.

Our school use xp in all the rooms, but in music/art/media they have macs.
