on my pc, usually 3-5secs but if just finish fresh installation, need longer time, around 3mins for sorting up the settings and drivers.
if u didn't formatted the drive used for XP, vista automatically recognized it as dual boot system.

@kingvui78
try vista manager for tweaking. for maintainence, havent try tuneup07 on it though. forgot to try it

for graphic overclocking, forget bout it. new working method of driver prevent it. atitool, rivatuner, etc all doesn't work.

usually first time is longer, or after you've installed new hardware and drivers.

Mine took about 3 to 5 seconds for that.

oo I didnt mean the first booting up time

what I mean is the installation time... I difinitely cant install it under 20 mins as claimed by some reviewer ... how long u guys take it to install ? Clean install or upgrade which one is faster

Clean installation = 15 minutes or less
Upgrade = Didn't try it, but a fren did and it's slower.

For a fast installation, you need a fast HDD, and also make sure the DVD drive ur using has a clean head.

i think 1gb of ram for vista is not enuff huhu..run too much application i tried to run utorrent seems like there are memory leaking problem anyone have any ideas to deal with this problem?

last nite i completely replaced my XP installation with Vista. I don't regret it. I made sure all my files were backuped first. I reformated the XP drive and Vista installed in less than 30 minutes, actually shorter time I think. I tried upgrade before and it took a couple hours!! I'm still using the evaluation RC2 i got and activated it already, so the time limit (30 days) is gone. I think I will use this until SP1 comes out then I'll go get an RTM version like Home Premium. As far as I can tell, RC2 works really well and the only thing is WMP doesn't play DVDs as it has a timebomb that disables its dvd abilities after a while. Anyone wanting to test drive Vista should download the evaluation copy and get your activation keys with your windows hotmail usernames. But donno if the evaluation copy still available for download, i got mine a long while ago. That way can see for yourself if it's what you really want.

But is it genuine or piracy ????

genuine of course. vista officially launch there. unless u say microsoft is pirate

FIrst time loading vista from blackscren with greenbar to colorfulscreen takes 15mins maybe 20 even.. usually around 15 i think. I think it's doing system compatibility check then.

after that, unless upgraing major patch, it's usuallysuper fast.. fast tehn xp.

I've been using Vista for almost a month now, so far so good. abit lousy video drivers.. crashes here and there but you get use to it. Most annoying thing is rundll crash. but the resource monitor is good.

Unfortunately most vista ultimate goodies are not out yet.. so no use also now.

been using for about 4 days no crashes yet....been playing supreme commander demo...half life 2 and company of heroes....

I dun like Vista Cos Very Ma Fan, Sometime will Lag, i using 2GB and E6600 and shutdown will slow abit and restart somtime never restart, so i uninstall and switch back to XP, Xp better then Vista, wait Vista more stable then i will switch back

How much is it for Windows Vista Home Basic DVD ???

Doesn't all new OS will face bug probs? Look at the XP when it was 1st launched? Just hope tht d Microsoft team will b able to solve most of the major bug issue.

boss tried that already, no luck. i mean my internet explorer is fine.. can surf normally. but that god no clue -.-

of course original . not that ahem one. ask shop like czone, cycom & etc

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic 32Bit oem rm305
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 32Bit oem rm395
Microsoft Windows Vista Business 32Bit oem rm495
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32Bit oem rm670

i cant believe that lexmark is not releasing the printer driver for my p3150! (which is less than 2 years old)

is it posibble to changing the vista chinese version (chinese interface) to become english interface?

You'll have to take the alternative route then, via phone.

have u ever buy ori stuff? i highly doubt it

rm150 for a OS? if USD150 then can still be acceptable

even ori games cost rm180-190

try retail version of Vista Ultimate. i guess it will wet your pant (it wet mine ) rm1K+

Added on February 14, 2007, 8:50 ami doubt that. usually localized version sold much cheaper.

can try though. try go to control panel and change the language preference, just like in XP. restart after changing the setting, if available.
