Internet Explorer 10 to Ignore Windows Vista

[Hunter_Killers]

What memory leak does it have if usage remains unchanged over the course a week+ of uptime with heavy use? Telling me it has memory leaks after using it for years without any memory related issue doesn't say anything at all if you won't even link a source/benchmark.

I already told you I use Vista over 7 and have both available, also used both. I also regularly run into people that never used Vista and assumed it was terrible. Have you actually used Vista for an extended period of time or just read it on the internet? I kept up with all the drama surrounding it and I'm also not going to bash something because the cool kids are doing it when I know otherwise from personal use.

ink the source why don't you try looking on toms hard ware i told you this 3 times toms hard ware in an article on this story anyone that reads toms hardware on a regular basis knows this. Furthermore it's not hard to do a google search there are a lot of links ex[plaining this issue with Vista.

So that's why you are defending Vista because you use it, that explains it all now. Yes i have used Vista after 6 months of dealing with it i went back to XP like a lot of other users did. What cool kids? the fact that many people had a lot of issues with it personally? i do recall it was the o called cool kids that were talking about how much better Vista was over xp before is release because many of them were basising it on eye candy without actually really using it before hand.

I did search, any combination of Vista and memory leak/usage brings up nothing related. There's also no mention in anything documenting the faults Vista has, leaking isn't one of those. Are you one of those people that can't grasp the concept of a memory cache until 7 added "Available" in the task manager? Seriously.

Your only example of a memory leak was with IE, a program running on an OS. You should be aware that 7 uses WDDM 1.1 and uses the same system memory regardless of windows open http://blogs.msdn.com/b/e7/archive/2009/04/25/engineering-windows-7-for-graphics-performance.aspx with no change to video memory use. I already mentioned this "The only thing that didn't get backported was the DWM improvement".

Yep just keep ignoring the facts. It wasn't just IE and the memory cache the 7 came with, which had little to do with Vista's memory leaks. XP performed much better then Vista did and the ONE example i gave you is the prime example on which 7 Vista and XP memory useage are based on what the avg consumor uses and no it just didn't have to do with one program and one program alone.

How about also the drainning battery life that Vista had on protable devices. Even MS admitted to that.

Vista was significantly less stable than XP. A lot of people complained about hard locks, crashes, and blue screens in the first weeks of use than many people did with the entire XP lifespan.

The problems weren’t limited to high-end, bleeding-edge hardware, either. People with pedestrian, nonexotic hardware configs reported crashes, instability, and general wonkiness with Vista on laptops and desktops, in homebuilt rigs and OEM machines. Considering microsoft stated that Vista would improve stability was one of the biggest promises Microsoft made for Vista which turned out being the opposite for many users.

Performance testing on many review webistes revealed worse-than-expected performance in many different tasks and applications. Gaming performance suffered notably. Tests showed as much as a 20 percent performance difference between Vista and XP on the same testing machines. But that wasn’t the worst of it. Even common tasks suffered. Large network file transfers took a ludicrous amount of time, even on systems hardwired to gigabit networks. On affected machines, Vista could take days to transfer a full gigabyte of data! While that was a worst-case scenario, many users complained that file transfers took twice as long to complete in Vista as in XP.

There are no facts when you keep them to yourself and tell everyone else LOLMEMORYLEAKS without any way for me to see these myself.

You want to go on about stability at launch? How many drivers from W2k worked in XP? Most of it. How many drivers from XP worked in Vista? Next to nothing! How many of those drivers from Vista worked in W7? Pretty much everything.

Keep telling yourself Vista didn't have an entirely different driver model from XP. You know like all of those nVidia driver BSOD's.

I'm not comparing launch to launch because I'm not ignorant enough to ignore the FACTS why it was bumpy. Vista had its problems fixed by the time W7 came out but everyone was in hate mode because of the initial problems. It did improve stability over XP if you didn't have drivers flipping out because of a rush job.

My own friend with W7 who I'm on Ventrilo with every day has more problems with it hardlocking regularly with 16gb of RAM doing video and sound editing than I've ever had with only 8gb.

Windows 8 will probably have a relatively problem free launch because current plans aren't changing the architecture all over again.

So now you have to see them for yourself yet i gave you one solid example of ie's testing. Palm to face.


That has little to do with the overall stability of the OS itself your talking 3rd party drivers.


Keep telling myself? i didn't say anything in regards that it didn't have diff drivers then XP. Are you just making up words now. Well of course Vista had driver issues, but that wasn't the meat of the problem after the drivers were fixed performance and memory issues were still there.

No iut doesn't it still has problems even MS said there were problems in Vista that they couldn't fix.

Ten it's prob hios software or something else on his pc causing it not Windows 7.

I think that we should all ignore windows 8 "It's a cloudy view without sunshine touching earth's surface".

for all Vista owners, you bought a lemon and you won't get the new sugar candy to lessen the sour taste.

installed vista when i built a computer in 2007 and had it for 2 years and never left a sour taste in my mouth at all.it was stable and fast even before the first service pack. never got any errors, blue screens or any issues what so ever. the only people complaining about vista is people who tried to install it on old computers
