windows vista had been a not so successful when I was 15 in 2006 the system would crash because my phone had no hard drive only 1 gb of ram and the public had fan problems but when I upgraded my phone the vista Os worked fine gaming worked amazing presentations where crisp graphics was well and I loved it i still use it today
Nice Review and Thanks for All ant the info Steam works again! Vista is Realy a Great OS especialy the Ultimate versions . in my onest opinion Vista not only looks at best from all other Version, it also feels like the Ultimate Windows Experience becouse iz like a Complete finish developet Windows. instead other newer version looks like half finished and also more with spy @ background. For Example you deavtivate on Win 10 System Updater Service anfter a while days it reactivates automatecly ! without your permis etc. A Still Use Vista on my Triple Boot System and a like it @ most from all other Os 's
I have an xp, vista and 7 in my house, nothing beats 7 but xp comes next, I just feel the layout was just better than vista, but hey my vista has lasted 13 years so I'll give it that
Whenever people talk about windows, they mention that windows xp and how nostalgic it is and how great it was. While windows vista wasn't great, my parents used it as a kid and its very nostalgic for me. Is it nostalgic for you?
for me windows 7 is. i used to go through all the themes and sound schemes when i was younger and even download additional themes like the angry birds one. dang do i miss it. i also miss its games... and its sample songs.
Ahh, yes...I remember finally beeing able to play zoo tycoon 2. I remember being asked "are you sure", "do you trust this program" every time I inserted a disk. And most of all I remember our, printer not working and my dad flipping out about it. I hated Vista.
@@jackirvin lol, Daisy mae isn't my actual name I just picked it sort of randomly for online stuff, good name for a dog though, my husband had a Pomeranian named Daisy.
FYI, Windows 7 is Windows Vista. After working out the bugs in Windows Vista Microsoft decided to rename it to Windows 7 and release it with the new name. Yes, Windows Vista is actually the best version of Windows. I love it and have NEVER had any problems with it. I still use Windows Vista today (January 2024), works great. All of my software and games run beautifully. 😁
I used vista from 2007 and enjoyed it a whole lot, and still prefer the design to W7 even in some areas. It was soooo slow, but so was 7 so it was probably the Athlon 64 x2 in my laptop lol
I understand people are supposed to hate Vista but I still liked it despite the popular issues. Windows looked and felt organic. Modern flat and minimalist interfaces are nice but there's something about the 3D and glossy look of Vista along with Aero.
Fun fact, that security feature of blocking applications from launching is actually a thing in Windows 7 too. I run into it from time to time on my PC, since I still use 7.
For me, 2007 was a big year for the tech world. First, Microsoft released Windows Vista in January, then later that year, the first iPhone and iPod touch were released. Also dual and quad core CPUs were really taking off during this year. This was also the year when I started learning and speaking Spanish as well. During this time as well was also the peak or when things were going the best of my job that I had at Publix from 2004 before it tragically ended in 2010, but I guess the rise and fall of Publix in my life could be another topic for another video.
Csgo is a game that utilizes the cup more than the gpu. That's why you can run it with an gt 710 but for optimal results you will need at least a 4 core cpu
You can't disagree with the fact that Windows Vista was the best version of Windows aesthetically. I currently have an extra PC with Vista for some older games, it's a Dell Precision T3400 with a Core 2 Duo E6800 and a GTX 750 TI I bought on eBay. Watching you play Minecraft on that brought back some memories of using my sister's old Dell Inspiron 531 from 2007 with an AMD Athlon 64 3800+, 2GB RAM, and I believe some Nvidia 7000 series card with 512MB of VRAM. I used that computer from release 1.4 to 1.7 to play and got pretty much 30 FPS at best, 15-20 usually, and lots of lag spikes to like 1 FPS.
I discovered and old Toshiba from the very early 2000s in my roof and i want to install win 2k or 98 on it! I have Just to figure out where i left the cd's 😝😝😝
I can tell you exactly why the PC had a low fps in CS:GO even with the 750 Ti. Cause the game has gotten so bloated with updates and stuff lately, that pretty much any dual core CPU without hyper threading is going to suffer. it does not like anything less than 4 cores or 4 threads anymore.
I never had any issues with Vista, like 10 years ago I remember I could run every game on it easily, fallout 3/nv, Crysis was running quite well on medium/high and 720p
As someone who started out on windows 8 on my first computer, i am proud to see these things hold up. (Yes I do have a MSI gaming laptop and I get max 87 fps on some games) What I am saying is that these old systems have hold up REALLY well.
I'm glad to see someone making a video on the subject, i'm a big fan. Loved to see Vista in 1440p :-) Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 is an excellent OS, and it's my main OS today, i wouldn't replace it by 7 or 10 even if someone gave me a license for free. Vista has a lot of stuff i like and no other Windows have. Buuut... a Core 2 Duo would be great to test what are the newest and most demanding games you can run on Windows XP, not Vista (what i mean is, on a powerful PC, Vista can do more). My PC specs: Intel Core i7-870, Intel DP55WB motherboard, 16GB of Kingston DDR3-1333 RAM, PNY NVIDIA GTX 970, Crucial MX500 500GB SSD, Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD, PCIe USB 3.0 card. Full HD monitor, gaming mouse, headset and RGB mechanical keyboard). I play GTA V and Far Cry 4 on Ultra settings at 1080p on Vista. I already became an expert in Windows Vista (every component you have to install in order to run the newest software Vista can run, patches, hotfixes, tips, settings, useful tools, etc.). Some advices: 1-The newest NVIDIA GPU series that have drivers for Vista is the GTX 900 series (and the Titan X), and the last Intel platform that has drivers for Vista is socket 2011 (X79), that is the best hardware Vista can be used on. GTX 1000 series and Intel 2011-V3 (X99) only have drivers for Windows 7 and newer. I don't know about AMD, though. 2-The web browser i use on Vista today is Maxthon Browser, it's very good and is an updated browser that still supports Vista (the last version of Chrome that works on Vista is from 2016, still works OK, but doesn't support the latest features of some websites). - If you're using an SSD: 3-Since Vista acknowledge SSDs exactly as HDDs, you should disable the automatic disk defragmentation for the SSD on Disk Defragmenter. 4-Vista doesn't support TRIM out of the box, but you can install 3rd-party SSD optimization tools to perform the TRIM optimization, keeping the SSD at peak performance (i use SSD Tweaker Pro). A lot of people consider Vista close to XP, with Windows 7 being the revolution, but the revolution was Vista. Windows XP (NT 5.1, 2001) is of the same generation as Windows 2000 (NT 5.0, 2000). Windows Vista (NT 6.0, 2007) is of the same generation as Windows 7 (NT 6.1, 2009). From the point of view of the OS internal architecture, Windows XP is cavemen stuff compared to Vista, and Windows 7 is an updated Vista.
My favorite laptop that I'm using now is a Dell Precision m6400 laptop which actually still has Windows 7 professional. It seems like Dell's most powerful and expensive laptop from 2008. Mine has a Core 2 Quad QX9300 cpu with 12 gb ram and a 1 gb AMD Firepro m7740 and a 1920 by 1200 display.
@@MCJonCRLKLLR lol, actually, I don't think you have to upgrade your PC as often as you used to have to back in the 90s and early 2000s. Another smaller laptop that I have, a Dell Precision m4300 from 2007 with a Core 2 Duo CPU runs the 2019 version of Windows 10 just fine at least for general tasks like web browsing, office work, 720 p RU-vid playback, and even some light gaming.
Odd how Dirt 3 crashed, that came out in 2010 or 2011 and was totally playable on XP and Vista, hell the retail version used Games for Windows Live. Probably something to do with the audio renderer in Dirt.
Vista according to the dictionary a pleasing view, especially one seen through a long, narrow opening. "a vista of church spires" a mental view of a succession of remembered or anticipated events. "vistas of freedom seemed to open ahead of him" Sounds about right
Pretty sure the cable you used might have been the issue with the 144hz feature. That is if you used some random HDMI, or maybe it was actually the modern HDMI but the 750 ti's port wasn't modern enough? Idk, I think a displayport cable would fix it.
Make video about Windows 7 before getting unsupported by microsoft, I'am personally using Windows 7 until january 2020, for a lot of reasons,.. for example it is a lot faster experience than Windows 10 on my gaming laptop from 2012, I got more FPS than on Windows 10 and I still more like the AERO design of Windows Vista / 7 era, than flat design of Windows 8, 8.1 & 10 era. btw sry for my bad english xD
Some famous games that came out during Windows Vista: Fallout 3 Grand Theft Auto IV Left 4 Dead Mass Effect Dead Space Far Cry 2 Bioshock Crysis Portal Gears of War January 30, 2007 > July 22, 2009
During windows vista era I was just playing HP games from WildTangent tbh, polar bowler, desert strike, and others I can’t remember. Oh and GTA sa, I still remember installing like 4 HD car mods on the windows vista pc and everytime one of the cars spawned you could hear the fans go full VRRRRRRT
This is still better than my main pc in 2020 😭 Intel Core 2 Duo e6650 2.33ghz 2gb ram ddr2 Q35 Express family chipset (GMA 3100) 256 HARD DRIVE CD DRIVE
My first computer was a core 2 duo windows vista laptop. Minecraft and those older tycoon or sim games ran well enough. But yeah, windows 7 is my favorite probably cuz it’s like vista but newer and works much better.
What made the 750ti so great is that it was affordable, reliable and worked with almost any system without needing external power (single fan models for the most part).
3:39 I see. The monitor driver could factor in the inability to push the pc itself to 144 hz, but I agree that the pc the video shows wouldn’t be capable of 144 hz
I do think the best way to get out of a gaming addiction is to only have Windows Vista installed in your computers. It's basically having massive parental controls on it.
I grew up on Windows Vista and had used it for some time. A few years ago my dad agreed to get a new pc running Windows 10 and I was happy! Since a lot of things didn't work and or were slow on it so it was not a great experience.
I don't get why people hate so much, sure the battery was crap and the screen constantly freezed but hey, it has purple place, majong titans and even solitare! I don't know you guys but this OS has the best look, the best interface and the most beautiful wallpapers I've ever seen, rest easy vista, you were the best.
broski i have a laptop that runs on vista that we've had since 2007. Until this year it hadn't been used since 2011. Its on a Dell Inspiron 1720, and it takes a minute for it to entirely work at a normal speed and for everything to load. I tried to open Purble Place which was a game already installed on it, and the system entirely froze. vista didnt crash, but it froze, so i ran down the battery on it to be able to use it. Your computer is probably easier to run on because 1) You just recently put vista on 2) it has msi computer parts, and msi computers/parts run REALLY well with everything. we have msi's for e sports that run on windows 10
I ran Minecraft 1.11.2 on WIndows 2000 with 4gb of ram, Pent 4, Int Graphics and it worked without lags. IDK whats ur issue. Also to install the latest version use "TLauncher" not the MC Launher.
The reason for not being able to fully utilize the hz is probably because the gpu only supports 1080p and below at 120hz, and not 1440p at 120hz (or the hdmi cable, too)
The reason your Monitor possibly wasnt running at 144hz could be because the HDMI version on the card does not support 144hz over HDMI. My guess, but this has happened before and it does indeed have to do with the HDMI port versions that cards come with.
I feel as though the older windows versions have so many little details and unique qualities that showed the hard work and dedication to the version. Yes, there are some flaws are here, but overall it was enjoyable
I really dislike the look of windows from windows 8 on, it just isn’t eye appealing at all and feels very “dull” to the past versions of windows. Even Windows XP, looks more elegant than 11 to me. I understand there trying to modernizing UI’s all around with this flat look, but I really really dislike it. It just feels so bland
Just was installing drivers for my old machine for the gt520 and it was taking forever , so i turned it off , the drive is from 2006 80gb and has ran on power 5 years or so , used to run windows 7 for few years , now going back to windows xp sp3 since vista wasn't nessacary for older games with a gt210 and 1gb of ram..
