There is one consistent thing there.  Nobody uses Vista!

Poor Vista, dead at such a young age. ( I secretly wish the same fate for Windows8)    I do like Vista, but it doesn't measure up to Windows 7 in any respect.

 I am suprised that IE is losing ground so quickly. It's still my preferred browser.

There ya go. lol

Internet Explorer:  The best browser anyone can use to download Google Chrome!

Which I find a tad odd... Might just be me, but I think Vista has been the best Windows OS, so far.
Used it with pride up untill a couple of weeks ago when I had Win7 shoved down my throat for buying a new PC.
Can't say I enjoy Win7 the same way....

Well, Rosco, I know -a lot- of people disliked it and had a bad experience using it, but all I can say is... it worked, 100%.
Up untill the last 3-4 months I used it I hadn't had a BSOD since I used XP. Any and all applications I gave a run worked without a hitch.

There may very well have been some areas of Vista I never "got in touch with", which have given others grey hair.

But.... mainly it's because certain applications (specifically a certain Stardock application) worked on 64bit Vista, but doesn't on 64bit Win7, or in combination with other applications on 64bit Win7.

My first go at useing Win7 didn't really spark much 'love' either. As I've mentioned numerous times before on the forum, Vista performed better on my (old) system than Win7 did.
I couldn't have half the applications open, in Win7 as I had in Vista, before Win7 started 'spitting blood'. With Vista.... I doubt I was even capable of maxing it's potential. I often had 3 browsers (or more, with several tabs open in each) going, PaintShop Pro, Photoshop, Outlook, various background shit (3 monitor set up) and still I could have a movie running without any hickups. In Win7.... 2-3 applications, a movie and it started screaming about 'limited experience due to slow performance', or something like that.

All in all; Vista was by far the better choice for me.

I was working at the GeekSquad when Vista hit.  I had to set up every single display unit for the new Vista systems for launch day.  It's amazing how many of them had issues right out of the box.

I still have nightmares about it.

Not really.

But still, it wasn't fun.

1366 x 768 resolution seems popular. That surprised me because I thought I was one of the few who liked that setting.

I've tried 1920 x 1080 but I don't like squinting.

I just started to use Chrome and so far I am loving it. Though once in awhile I will use firefox. 

Why is 1366 x 768 so popular...? Laptop resolution or something?

Keep buying Win 7 people! 

My first laptop was 1366x768

I've got to toss my hat into the ring concerning Windows Vista.I actually loved it !! It performed flawlessly for me and to tell you the truth, all the hoopla by Microsoft about the better graphics capability in Win 7 eludes me. I simply don't see it. I'll even go out on a ledge here and say that actually, my games played much better in vista with fewer crashes than I have now, and I have a high-end self built gaming rig. Therefore I know it's not my PC, my benchmarks are right up there with the best of the best. So that only leads me to the conclusion that Vista was a pretty solid OS. The only reason I haven't gone back to it is my concern about compatibility with WindowBlinds and other eye candy apps. But....I may get a wild hair and try it again sometime if I get bored enough because it's pretty certain at this point in time that I won't be migrating to Win8 anytime soon....if ever ! So that's the way it is...Tuesday, May 1st, 2012.      -- Ace --

I had a similar problem when trying to run Master of Orion II on Windows 7.

I found a very strange solution on the web.

If I open the 'Screen resolution' window (right clicking on the desktop) then all the colours are as they should be when I start the game. I don't even have to do anything in the Screen resolution window. It just needs to be opened.

I know this doesn't make much sense, but it works for MoO2, maybe it'll work for Starcraft.
