Re: Should I be using Vista 64-bit

Question Vangellis.

If you are working on Windows 7 then surely, as all MVPs are, you are under a Non Disclosure Agreement with Microsoft therefore you are not allowed to mention the features on public newsgroups. (unless they have been made public knowledge by Microsoft, not leaked)

As for Microsoft 'toying' with X-Pression for the new Windows 7 operating system that is 'exactly' what XP stood for Windows XPression. |I cannot see them using a name that in anyway resembles XP.

An MVP that broke the NDA would quickly be shown the door.

I have Vista Ultimate 32-but edition running on a notebook PC that has an
Intel T7500 processor. I am running Office 2007. Do I need Vista 64-bit?

Yes, I have both Premium and Ultimate running flawlessly on two machines, but in my 15 years with Microsoft I find that the previous operating system-XP, is far easier, much more user friendly and also very tolerant of user errors, I'm afraid the same cannot be said about Vista. As I have stated in an earlier post, Vista is Microsofts biggest mistake ever. And at this very moment, Microsoft are working on ANOTHER OS to replace Vista.

Funnily enough, Microsoft started work on the next OS when XP was released, but then history always repeats itself..

Yes, I agree, But Vista is not being supported by the major software companies because it is so bug ridden, this is also true for many of the major printer/scanner companies as well, they are refusing to write drivers for Vista, and with the sales of XP outselling Vista by 3-1, vista will soon be history. But as for "started work on the next OS" Microsoft have been developing the new OS since just 2 months after the launch of Vista. They could see even then that vista was a huge mistake. It is losing them millions.
The new OS is based more on XP, although obviously it has a new look to it, with a much more secure framework, It will include IE-8 but they have done away with windows mail and opted for Outlook Express v10. PLUS it has the added benefit that ALL XP software and hardware will be FULLY compatible. Vista shall not be with us for much longer I can assure you. Microsoft are getting ready to offer all those who have purchased vista and are able to send them the original disk along with the correct activation code, a free upgrade. Looking at it's progress, I would think it should be launched early next year. The name they are toying with at the moment is Microsoft X-Pression, wether or not they will call it that when it's finished remains to be seen. I have a copy of it running on one of my PC's and to be honest it is quite good. It certainly leaves vista standing in terms of speed and ease of use. Plus it looks great, that I must admit. Myself, I am working on the networking side of it, it has done away with all that crap that vista has, and the networking interface/setup looks remarkably similar to windows98 lol.

Notwithstanding the fact that Microsoft has openly claimed that the new one will be based around Vista, and not XP as claimed by Vangelis. He seems to be better at predicting the future than he is at reading the past..
