Anybody know where a safe ISO for Windows Vista is? Everyone says it's shit, so I'm trying to get it to run on VirtualBox to see how they fucked up. I went straight from XP to 7, so I never saw what Vista actually was like. I love shit basically, so this seems perfect for me. All Google comes up are sites that are most likely viruses. Anybody help?

It's shit because it's somehow slow as fuck on fast hardware for the day.

Getintopc.com has some clean Vista isos. But the download is slower than all hell... that or torrent it.
Austin Ramirez
Okay, I'll check that out.
Brayden Carter
It's shit because it actually required modern hardware when it came out and people were upgrading their XP machines to it anyway. Vista on a computer actually intended for Vista is like Windows 7 with a slightly different UI.
Jacob Wright
That fucking site
>our High Performance Cloud Virtual Private Server Server
Zachary Sanchez
Oh god. I was IT during Vista and loading profiles from the server took fucking forever. Especially for people that didn't log in often. I'd see load times upwards of 45 mins. to over an hour in some cases.
Once Win 7 came out, we IMMEDIATELY upgraded. Fuck Vista.
John Sanchez
It's basically 7 but with extra stuff.

And yet a high end dual core laptop that came with Vista from the factory ran like garbage.
Owen Young
I'll try that. Getintopc seems pretty sketchy.
Cameron Reyes
It was shit (at the time) because of the heaps of hastily implemented technology changes, incompatibility with hardware, and a shitty launch in general. After you apply the billions of service packs and updates they released, it's more or less identical to 7, with all of 7's existing flaws (things like SxS and UAC and other shit people criticize "newer than XP" versions for have been around since Vista, and are here to stay, unfortunately).
Also, look up MD5/SHA hashes on MSDN and find a torrent somewhere.

Sure thing bud

I don't care if you don't believe me, I know what I experienced. It ran like shit. Runs Windows 7 perfectly.
Matthew Lee
Vista was extremely bloated
it took computers 4 years to run it decently in a lighter form as 7
Christopher Wilson
Release was shit but after service packs it became decent.

I've been using Vista since 2009 on my old gaming rig, and it's never given me any trouble. I'm only now upgrading to 10 because I'm getting a new computer.
Like Johnson from Peep Show, it just felt like a good pair of jeans.

theres not really much wrong with vista. my only gripe is that you cant disable UAC fully.
people initially disliked it because microsoft dropped support for 16 bit COM applications (this was present in 32-bit xp) and they got pissed because they needed to rewrite their old applications.
many people jumped on a vista hating bandwagon for no good reason
Colton Baker
It's just XP with bloat added.
Christopher Gonzalez
That's beyond retarded. The jump from XP to Vista had some of the biggest changes between Windows versions. Compared to that the difference between Vista and 7 is miniscule, the same goes for 7, 8 and 10.
Dylan Rodriguez
It's nearly identical to Windows 7, don't bother.

They are all safe if your host is Linux or BSD.
Joseph Carter
User profiles.
Nathaniel Wood
most likely that was due to the preinstalled garbage
I used to run Vista on a Pentium E2180 with 2GB of RAM and I had no problems.

Yeah sure senpai, it's just XP with bloat added to it.
Windows is still fucking garbage and while Vista is no exception, it had a lot of improvements over XP
Jose Hill
That and OEMs were retarded and were initially shipping out XP-tier machines with Vista on it even though system requirements went way up for Vista
Asher Cruz
Vista has the best wallpapers included

I liked Vista. Had it on my q8200 machine it was pretty nice. It was basically 7 but more aesthetic (imo)
Nowhere near as bad as people make out. Most people who claim it was bad never used it or are following what everyone else say because they're idiots. Mostly it was a perfectly fine OS. It was nothing especially special but what OS is?
Brody Collins
Why waste your time vista was shit gadgets are shit the whole thing is shit.
As for a torrent I dont know im sure IPT has one or just try one you found im mean your using a VB so whats the harm.
Brody Lewis
Can't believe I forgot about vss and real wireless support, thanks user
