Re: [Digital BW] Vista v. XP??

2008-08-03 by Gregory

I also use both. Primarily because at the time I upgraded, XP was no longer 
offered. My Vista machine, a desktop, stays off the internet and solely used 
as an imaging computer. When Vista was being released, I had hear horror 
stories about it monitoring proprietary content and other things. I even 
have a graphic that shows the pathway for downloads on the Vista 
architecture. Hence no internet for this computer. Also, I can't get vista 
to recognize my CF slot nor my D1x. Later cameras are ok, but the older 
ones, unless some trigger is turned off, are not seen.

My XP is a laptop and used for internet and field work when in the bush or 
on the road with my cameras. It recognizes all of my cameras, is rock solid 
in performance, but a bit slower than the Vista.

Take care out there,
Gregory
