Oh yea. Fuzzy Logic, if you mess with it a little bit, you'll find all the files are right there. No problem. fuzzy "Logic". Use the Logic. I'm just kidding. For God sake you people are so damn serious. And as I recall fuzzy logic never got to far as a computer language.

I like macOS and Linux, but like somebody says i cant use my apps, so i must use Windows. I bought the Ultimate Version (in spanish) but its run a little slow on my 512MB RAM Computer, so i search (and find) some type of "modified" version, dont now, called "suricataos", which claim to works faster, and its work perfect on my PC now. Dont know if its wrong use it i have bought my ultimate license and to use this "modification" you must have your own Ultimate key, is it piracy? (like that Longhorn Reloaded).
Anyway Vista is much better than XP, slower but is good visually :/ , Its my main OS when I boot the machine (i have XP and Ubuntu too). I will get Halo2 these days wich only works on Vista.
Excuse my english, im member of wincustomize since 2005 and its my first post

Yes, I have problems with my WB too on Vista. Shoot. I like Vista, but I like my WC better and if I have to give up one or the other, it will be Vista.....

I retrack that statement...... After using it for three month. The above post still applies.

I love Vista Ultimate. I have no problems with it loading and I believe it is much more stable and safer. I am not sure it is as user friendly but it just takes a little time to work through the changes. I didn't like it at first. I bought a new computer in March and I was not happy with all the software changes I had to buy. But in the long run, I don't think I would ever want to go back to XP.

I'm not sure of that "modification" that you are talking about. I know people have use a tool called vLite (nLite for Vista) that would remove unnecesary services and things like that.
However, RAM is so rididculously cheap that I would suggest picking up some more.

Yes it was made with vlite im sure, it has an autorun menu too where you can choose betwen some services profiles, for example you click on default profile and you hae the normal Vista profiles, if you click on the other profile the services get tweaked automaticaly and you have disabled he unnecesaries. You have a one click optimizer tool like, its works well i think it made some registry changes. Sadly the menu didnt work on my not modificated Vista, dont now why..
In my country RAM is so, so expensive
I dont use XP more, Vista is really good, If you use Xp after been using vista for some time you see Xp like and 6 years old operative system (hey its 6 years old)

If dual booting Vista with XP is the answer, I'm goin there. None of my printers are compatible with Vista, nor any of my software CD's (Not Stardock). Personally, I'm just not happy with it because of the incompatibility problems. It might look good, but hey, we've got Windowblinds to look good. Not a happy Camper with Vista!!

Love Vista And never will look back to XP. Just waiting for software makers to catch up with Vista including Stardock. 
XP will be out of date before you now it.

Anyone know where to get and ALPS 1300 Printer driver for Vista? I love that printer... so much for legacy hardware (kind of like 35mm). I hope there will be XP support for some time.
I can see the future artist scrambling to find an old dusty copy of Windows XP (with something called "The Key") to put on that legacy pc to do "old stuff", you know, the big one that you have to put on the floor. The legacy pc only has 4GB of RAM, a 3.4 Intel DualCore processor, only 64-bit processing, "DVI" monitor output, a !cable! for the Internet (omg), and IT USES FANS! It even requires one of those old things they called a "Hard Drive" back in the day; it spins around and gets hot!
How on Earth did they ever get anything accomplished?
Time for a very young old fart to get on with it; I'm moving to the next OS(two years from now).

Unlike when XP came out, I have not found myself migrating all my machines quickly.
I have some on XP, others on Vista. I like Vist abut it's not enough of a step up to push me to upgrade , especially since Microsoft it being, IMO, stingy on upgrades.

There seem to be loopholes for that.
Btw, I'd recommend everyone to do a fresh install of Vista if possible. For one reason to avoid clutter from previous Windows versions, but also because the upgrade is slooooooooow. But a fresh install is done in 20-30 mins.
The only install path for the Upgrade versions of Vista is to install a fresh copy of XP first, or install over a currently configured system otherwise there is no way to install an upgrade version of Vista by formatting and starting fresh, if you've found one post it.
Install without previous version is possable with upgrade version it was well reported you should be able to google for it failing that cnet,techrepublic,pcmechanic,pc world etc
It works by installing as a trial this is done by not putting the key in which gives you a limited time,then on restart install as full version and include the key & viola vista installed without previous windows or something like that.
OK back on topic unfortunately my machine can't run vista which pisses me off immensley
& i am in no doubt it is far better than xp after all it is a later OS it's only common sense so i can't wait too upgrade this machine or build a new one (send donations too *scorp needs a new comp fund*
), from what i've seen on the shelves it aint look'n too shabby tho i gotta say i like the thing ms showed off a couple weeks back where windows were moved by hand

EDIT: Stay away from any upgrade edition as it requires XP to be installed, my experience upgrading over XP (shame on Microsoft for forcing this on people) has been it stinks, don't do it.
