Windows XP v. Windows 7 v. Windows Vista: What’s been your experience?

ITKE — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:36:51 +0000

I recently saw a conversation on Twitter about the bad rep that Windows Vista had from the get-go, even though Microsoft eventually fixed the bugs. Which of the recent Windows operating systems has your company used/liked/despised? For someone shopping the available Windows operating systems, what would you recommend or warn against?

Why can’t I install a USB printer on a 32-bit Vista machine?

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:04:07 +0000

Hello,

I have a computer operating OEM Windows Vista 32-bit system. I can not install a USB printer. I called Epson (the company I bought the printer from) and they told me to call Microsoft and ask for USB printer support. Microsoft will not help without charging a fee, same with the company I bought my computer from, even though I was told it was a common problem.

When I click on printer properties and ports no USB port show up. I have tried installing many different ways and many differnet times? Is there away yo solve this issue?

LENOVO X61 TABLET w/ Windows Vista Business

BPMcHALE — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 03:16:35 +0000

We have received three LENOVO X61 TABLET computers running Windows Vista Business.

We would like to tune them for best performance. They each have 2Gig of RAM.

We have heard that the addition of a SD card or USB flash drive, when added to a Windows Vista system can implement a new Windows Vista feature called ReadyBoost. ReadyBoost serves as a memory cache and since flash memory access is much faster than hard drive access, the overall system performance improves. ReadyBoost also works in conjunction with Windows SuperFetch. The Windows Vista feature of SuperFetch actually “learns” what applications are used the most and actively loads those application executable files into memory before use. The use of SuperFetch allows for faster application loading over a period of time.

We have examined the StartUp List, and see that Windows Vista loads lots of services into memory upon booting, and it is possible some of these services are not needed. These services and features, when removed or kept from loading, will improve system performance, as fewer Windows Vista service drivers are loaded. Does anyone have
any other suggestions ?
