I'm so glad I did. Hundreds of pictures she had saved on it. Alot I've never seen before! Besides a dead cmos battery, it just fired up an ran fine. I put another 2g of ram in it I had laying around, got the wireless card working, put a working internet browser on it and mess with it last night till 3am. I literally told my wife to trash it 6 months ago, so glad she didnt!

    I acquired a Dell Inspiron 530 last year with a Core 2 Duo that was being thrown away. I threw a cheap SSD, extra RAM and a used GT 610 in it (had these parts laying around, but combined cost would have been around £40 UK if I'd had to buy them), and it ran Windows 10 absolutely perfectly. Pretty good for what was at that point a 12 year old computer. We gave it away to someone who needed it for their kids during the various lockdowns of 2020.

    I was 12 years old when Vista launched, and as a kid who didn't care or know about any technical faults in the OS, I always really liked Vista. In fact, both XP and Vista are incredibly nostalgic for me. Playing World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade on the family PC with Vista on it, that bubble screensaver. Just everything about the design was really pretty. And I don't recall my parents complaining too much about it. It was a good time.

I only had it on my own laptop (bought in 2010 I think) and with the older family computer running xp working way better it really left a horrible impression.

It's got similar blur effect and it is slowly being implemented more into the shell than Aero was (though Aero when released was already have consistent UI than it is currently at Windows 10, which is still in-progress). It was gone during Windows 8.X, or at least more like disabled since Aero elements technically exist even in Windows 10. They just became flatter on Win 8.X and less flatter on Win 10.

    I had zero issues with Windows Vista. I had a mid-grade system that had way more than the basic requirements for the OS. Maybe I just had the right combination of hardware, or maybe I was using peripherals that had updated drives; I'm not sure. Regardless, I never had Vista crash constantly and I was able to run everything I needed with a new pretty OS. I never understood how so many people had a problem with it, because I thought it was pretty decent. Also, as you said, when I ungraded to 7, it felt very similar to Vista with a new theme.

    The fact you had a built machine made a difference. A guy I was going to school with at the time also loved it and had an insane built computer. He also adored Vista. The problem ultimately was that if you didn't have good hardware, the OS was horrible. I worked in remote support at the time and would cringe because SO many people who had Vista were running it with the minimum requirements for the OS.

    I mean, the main reason nobody talked about Windows system requirements from Windows 7 to 10 is that they barely changed since Vista. On the Japanese image board 2chan, "XP-tan" - A manga personification of the OS - was often depicted with an empty rice bowl with "memory" written on it. She was considered resource-hungry and yet Vista required SIXTEEN times more bytes of RAM. No wonder it left such a bad first impression. Also, not having drivers ready on day one of a massively delayed OS release is such an Nvidia move.

    One major factor missed was that Vista was at the forefront of the 32-bit to 64-bit transition. Almost everyone was using 32-bit XP, and while MS released an x64 edition of XP Pro in 2005, almost nobody used it. Vista was out just at the time PCs with 4GB or more of RAM started being sold in consumer and business PCs, and running a 64-bit Windows because required. However, 64-bit drivers for a lot of hardware simply didn't exist, and took a while to come out for existing hardware, if at all. Windows Vista 32-bit could use the XP drivers, but Vista 64 couldn't. So a lot of people brought home new PCs, pre-loarded with Vista 64, to find that their existing printers and other peripherals didn't work on them. This also affected a lot of older programs, which may be only 16-bit. Vista 32 could run 16-bit programs, but Vista 64 couldn't. So a lot of "legacy" software, especially in the enterprise space, was left running on XP PCs. By the time Windows 7 was released, the transition to 64-bit was largely complete. A lot of 64-bit drivers existed at this point, and people were more likely to have gotten rid of any older hardware/software that would only work on 32-bit Windows. So Vista weathered the brunt of the "growing pains"of the 64-bit transition, and Windows 7 got to be released and used without a lot of people complaining about their older hardware/software "not working."

    There are so many hardware reasons that made Vista come off worse than it was. Comparing the cheapo supermarket PCs I had for XP SP2 and Vista, it was stepping from a P4 Celeron with 512 MB RAM to a dual core Core-derived Pentium with 3 GB. The Pentium still holds up today in an emergency and runs Windows 10 just fine while the P4 is practically unusable. The step from having cheap laptops as fast as two-year-old high end desktops means that the upgrade experience was very different from earlier versions. On the other hand, it means the new Vista-derived OSs hold up much better on new hardware. XP was running fairly well then but doesn't do any better on newer hardware whereas Vista/7 can still take advantage of the latest hardware.

I have 143 of the loops I downloaded and saved on my backup drives. They were called Vista Dream Scenes(WMV file type) and found in the wallpaper section only on Ultimate.

It's not wmv only, but wmv definitely provided the best compression/quality short of using handbrake... But there are lots of free, professional grade video editors out there now of all skill levels. Da Vinci Resolve is free and now arguably better than Premiere Pro if you want to really edit video...I found it easy enough to move from Movie Maker to full time use after just a few hours of using it, though it's deep enough you could spend years learning all it can do.

There were many flaws with the Windows 10 betas. One beta bricked my laptop and I had to revert to Windows 8.1 with a clean install.

Honestly, I had no issues with it but my PC wasn't long built at the time so never had any noticeable performance issues or driver issues.

It's the people hanging on to classic Win32, and particularly the x86 version, apps which bloats Windows today. Most Linux / Unix, even Mac OS Mojave have dropped support for 32-bit applications these days. If development is active, the app can be rebuilt for x64 from source with little to no change at all. If not, you probably shouldn't be using it on a machine exposed to an internet connection. The native x86 version of Windows 10 isn't *too* flabby on disk, but it's big enough that you don't get much memory left from your maximum 3.5Gig. (unless you have an x86 system which will boot UEFI and use PAE properly, and they're few and far between)

    The main problem was that they were coming from windows xp and those pc's generally had 256mb or 512mb ram. Vista loved memory since it could load more programs into memory and back in the day 2gb of ram was so expensive so not many people could afford it well atleast here in southafrica. So basically it ran well with more memory and if you were lucky to have drivers for your hardware.

    @@carmieologyThis windows Vista is 100% installed on HDD there is no way to run property any modern OS including linux without severe lag or at least considerable delay. My point is you either need to change this HDD or if you have place run both drive SSD for windows 10. + HDD( You can place the older hard drive where CD drive is now, the new SSD goes where your HDD is currently. In both cases there is no point in formatting and deleting Vista paritition( at least keeping it in sehlf storage for some day) My advice is to go for dual boot if you want to keep both Vista and win 10.
