[Hidden-tech] Windows Vista Home Basic Vs Windows XP Pro

[Jan Werner]

XP Pro wins hands down.

First off, XP Pro is the high-end version of XP, whereas Vista Home 
Basic is the least capable bare-bones entry-level version of Vista.

Second, Vista is much slower than XP and far more resource hungry. 
Randall Kennedy of Computerworld recently ran a whole series of 
benchmarks on Vista vs. XP on a variety of hardware platforms and for 
different types of tasks and applications and found that, without 
exception, XP was faster than Vista, often by a wide margin, even on the 
highest end hardware that was supposedly designed for Vista.

Finally, nearly two years after its release, there are still many 
applications that will run under XP but not under Vista, and almost none 
where the converse is true.
