64 bit vista to the recycle bin
June 14, 2008 – 06:49Well I THINK I posted before that I was using 64 bit Vista Ultimate on my main desktop.
I like having 8 gig of ram. I like 64 bit for the apps that are, well, 64 bit. (Not that many, realistically.) And I really like the interface changes to Windows, too, as well as some of the more well thought out features of Vista Ultimate, like the Backup Status and Configuration applet.
What I didn’t like was the instability, which seemed to have a lot to do with multi-media. Specifically anytime the machine used any advanced sound stuff. Like it’s X-fi card. And the fact that the Adobe CS3 Software that I spent so much for a license for, had issues. Like Distiller not working reliably.
Perusing a back issue of Maximum PC, which you can actually download and read in PDF format, Will Smith has also come to the conclusion that I have. It’s just not worth the hassle.
Back to 32 bit Ultimate I go, probably until Windows 7 happens in a few years.
