Sick of Vista? Opportunity's knocking for current college students

<p>

I really don’t think that Vista’s RAM usage was what caused most people to dislike it because most users have no idea what RAM is.

<p>Point taken.</p>

<p>

For most people, the Vista experience was just plain bad: the drivers weren’t there, the system wasn’t stable, and it was just plain slow.

</p>

<p>The driver issues were a problem upon launch. By the time I adopted Vista (January 2009), I didn’t have any driver issues. Lenovo provided every driver I needed.</p>

<p>Perhaps a case of YMMV, but I did not experience any system instability with Vista Business x64; I never once got a BSoD.</p>

<p>As I said, in my case, Vista Business x64 was faster than XP Pro in several aspects: startup, opening programs after SuperFetch had cached my most commonly used programs, and shutdown.</p>
