Solved How many here still use Vista.

I'm just curious but how many here still use Vista and in what way?

I'm using it on my old workstation, which I plan to stop using in September. So for now, it's my primary workstation.

I had Vista Ultimate x64 installed on one of my drives, but now it's gone. I miss it dearly as the Ultimate version was the best OS MS ever put out., it had everything.

I still have my ultimate VM.

I used it from when it first appeared & have a recent clean reinstall now on a new drive.
I like it more than W7 .......it's smooth & fautl free !!
I run MSFS2004 on it.

I use it everyday for everything. It keeps on purring like a kitten.

I've got several operating systems on this machine. I run Vista about two days a week, Win 7 about 4 days, Win 10 maybe one day. Seven's my workhorse obviously for downloading, web browsing, CD burning, system maintenance, and so on. Vista's the backstop, if something gets screwed up in Win 7 or Win 10 and I have to revert to a backup. Plus, there are a handful of programs which run on Vista but not on 7 and 10. And of course, some things run on 7 and 10 but not on Vista, which is why I don't use it every day.

I like the looks of Vista, I guess I'd say. I'm comfortable with it. The sign-in display and WordPad and Windows Explorer and the Start Menu and even Internet Explorer 9 are like old friends, always recognized, always appreciated.

I agree with your last paragraph.

Note that most programs can be run in Win 10 by changing the compatibility mode of their respective installation files to the appropriate OS. It also helps to run the installation file as the administrator.

I have a machine just for it. I play older games on it.
It's cool and I like it.

*Forgot to add. I use it everyday. I use it for browsing stuff, spreadsheets, music, etc.

Yes, it is my only OS on my primary computer.
I do get problems such as media player n/w but I am working on that one.

What's the problem with WMP?

Still use it but seldom web surfing.

I might give Vista one more chance on my mom's old Dell Inspiron e1405 laptop (which came with Vista home basic 32bit) but will install Vista Ultimate 64bit on a spare hard drive - will use that one occasionally until Vista's final swan song on 1/14/2020
