Vista comparison

Anyone know of a good link where all the Vista versions are broken down by
comparison in features (64 bit, 32 bit, Aero, etc)??

Thanks

There is no difference feature-wise between the x64 and x86 versions.

Re: Vista comparison

What does? The feature set is the same between x86 and x64, the differences
are in the processing power behind the x64 engine.

Re: Vista comparison

So sad to explain humor. I meant her statement contrasted with her
attesting 64 bit 'not plain' in her signature.

You must have some super spam blocking software- A real non munged Email
address!

Re: Vista comparison

Been non-munged for many, many years, and there's plenty of spam and lots of
filters. If I had a nickel for every bit of spam - no wait, then I'd be Bill
G. <g>

I knew it was intended to be humor, I just couldn't figure out what part of
Jane's sig you were commenting on. Somedays the brain just ain't fully
functional.

I know what you mean Rick. I just wanted to say hello from 98 general
newsgroup land where you used to visit and post. I currently am using a
tri-boot system with 98SE for old legacy Windows 3.1 and DOS programs,
XP Professional for current programs and Vista for testing. I used to
post under Art when he was a house mate I would use his computer with
Outlook Express.

I just have to ask ... Why?
Unless you have a really old and slow machine, I can't think of a single
reason to use Windows 3.1

Re: Vista comparison

You read wrong- He's using 98, XP and Vista. Windows 3.1 is not one of
them.
