Windows Vista is a good OS along with Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10. But no thanks to Windows 11. I wish Microsoft can get rid of Windows 11 and keep Windows 10 as the lastest version of Windows.
Honestly they're all great operating systems in my opinion, but both Windows 10 and Windows 11 definitely come with a lot more bloatware, especially when compared to older versions of Windows like Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Those older operating systems had next to no bloatware which made them a lot faster too.
I put together a gaming PC in early 2008 running Vista Home premium and it was pretty reliable. I didn't have too many problems knock on wood. I liked the GUI. I also had a Toshiba Qosmio in early 2008 with Vista Ultimate that was also reliable. Maybe I got lucky.
You didny my mum used a laptop with Vista and it ran Perfectly fine and it was not a gaming pc(Dont know what spec that laptop has since i was only a small child)
@@tecadam Windows Aero and Basic theme are considered tablet-ish and reminds me about old tablet operating systems from the late 2000s and the early 2010s due to 3D,. Windows 8 and 8.1 perform better when it comes to SD gaming except for HD gaming.
i never really had any issues with vista i had a rtm copy on my machine when i brought it from pc world back in 2008, i then had SP1 for a while till i upgraded to windows 7, i'd say the driver compatibilty was a pain and if you try to install it on a system that is natively slow then expect slow results but you could say the same for 7, infact any windows would be like that on a slow machine, i wanted vista alot when it came out and even 7 when it was released in 2009, 10 and 11 are good operating systems but the problem lies with making microsoft operating systems more fluid and tablet/phone like with fancey tiles and rounded windowed boxes all theses things consume processing and RAM power, so when you put these up against OS's like XP, vista and 7 even on todays hardware its going to work alot different with surprises. good video anyhow a little windows nostalgia right here :)
true, vista sucked on 98/2000 era systems which barely ran xp, but 2006+ systems run windows vista just fine with the aero visual style aka the goat, but i do agree that microsoft's reasoning for removing aero with windows 8 (being that e aero was inefficient for battery usage) is total crap, cuz windows 7 uses 800mb to 2 gigs idle, whilst 10 uses 2-4 whilst idle, with it having lesser animations and no aero. microsoft's efforts have shifted from making a user friendly product that is intuitive to use, to having some mobile hybrid os with start menus larger than the empire state building and having as much intergration with 365 and onedrive as possible.
@@Deepslate3Dmicrosofts shift to increase the pc requirements for windows 11 was ultimately there drawback, i mean not everyones going to have a high end system fitting within there requirements and these high end systems or pc's they are abandoning for some are running windows 10 absoulutely fine. i know there are methods out there to bypass the requirements with the risk of maybe not having updates due to what they says would be a unsupported system. i miss when it was so simple to install a microsoft OS with hardly any complications, dont get me wrong i do like the new systems but when apps are cramped up and you can't really find anything or someting that you need thats been relocated its kind of a pain.
Windows 7 was successful because it had more driver support, more bugs were fixed, was optimized better for an better user experience, hardware that supported it better was getting released at that time at an affordable price, and Windows 7 lasted way longer than Windows Vista. The downfall of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 made most users stay on Windows 7. Compared to modern versions of Windows, Windows 7 was really the last version of Windows to not have any preinstalled bloatware.
Server 2008 R2 is based on Windows 7, it shares Windows 7 UI, vibes, elements and both of them shares the same OS version and build number Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1 = 6.1.7601
I wouldn't even compare windows 11 to windows vista/7. Microsoft never gave anyone, anything they wanted. We all loved vista/7 for the styling, what does Microsoft give? Rounded off squares.. I wouldn't even say it's close to reminising aero. Windows 10 but rounded.
Yes, the service packs fixed problems of Vista RTM. SP1 and SP2 fixes Vista RTM's problems Later Service Packs 1 and 2 fixed problems in Vista RTM. - youtube user
But SP2 fixed everything about the problems of Vista RTM so it just became as reliable as Windows 7 SP1 and that's why Vista SP2 is so much better than RTM.

I prefer windows 11 over 10 mainly because 11 has one design and doesn't look like 2 designs put together like 10 does

i remember going back to XP specifically because FFXI ran so much worse on Vista. good times.
Because you are using Vista RTM (without service packs) which is acting like Windows ME
Shit XP

Windows Vista was very good OS, the beginning of Win 7!❤
Yes, it was! Both Windows Vista and Windows 7 are great operating systems!

Rose tinted glasses.
Windows Vista was one of the reliable versions when they hit SP1 and SP2.

I wonder how windows 7 was so successful even though it was just a copy of vista...

The downfall of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 made most users stay on Windows 7. Compared to modern versions of Windows, Windows 7 was really the last version of Windows to not have any preinstalled bloatware.
Windows 7 has only one service pack. The last version which is Windows 7 Service Pack 1. There are some benefits and advantages of Windows 7 SP1.
Windows 7 is just Windows Vista 2.0
Server 2008 R2 is based on Windows 7, it shares Windows 7 UI, vibes, elements and both of them shares the same OS version and build number
Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2 SP1 = 6.1.7601
Windows 7 is the last to have only a single or one service pack
I wouldn't even compare windows 11 to windows vista/7. Microsoft never gave anyone, anything they wanted. We all loved vista/7 for the styling, what does Microsoft give? Rounded off squares.. I wouldn't even say it's close to reminising aero. Windows 10 but rounded.
Good video, keep it up man
Thanks! I appreciate that!
The graphics issues are only present on virtual machines. It's unlikely you'll encounter them in real hardware.
I appreciate a smooth video that gets straight to the point.
Thanks!
Windows Vista and above are officially made for flat screens when it comes to themes
Vista is beatiful Windows.
Indeed it is!
Vista actually means pleasant
@@Pleasing_view because aero version = pleasant so it makes sense :DD
Windows Vista RTM = Windows Me
Windows Vista SP2 = Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1
Yes, the service packs fixed problems of Vista RTM.
SP1 and SP2 fixes Vista RTM's problems
Later Service Packs 1 and 2 fixed problems in Vista RTM.

i use the extended kernel for windows vista 64 bit and can use up to date firefox web browser
But SP2 fixed everything about the problems of Vista RTM so it just became as reliable as Windows 7 SP1 and that's why Vista SP2 is so much better than RTM.
Windows Vista Service Pack 2 doesn't suck.

Hi there, unfortunately, it's not possible to install the SHA-2 update on Windows 2000.
i remember when once it was 2023 and i found some old windows 7 starter laptop and bcs it was so small i just sat with it for a few hours while watching yt (it already had chrome installed)
Its Making a comeback in 2023😊😅
It sure is!
Recently just installed Vista on a machine, can confirm!
question why does your monitor keep going light to dark?
It's because of the camera capturing the CRT monitor. It all has to do with how CRT monitors work too.
