well my first impressions with the tiny series made by a group called eXPerience(or a person, not sure how many people work on them) was with tiny7. i needed a fast os on mai netbook that could play portal and other games tat dont run on ubuntu(wine does not like intel gma). so i dual booted tiny 7 and ubuntu 11.04. i honestly thot tiny7 was great. aero ran good it had slow shutdown time and firefox takes a bot to open, but all in all for what its being run on i impressed. and then just for kicks and the fact i had a spare laptop hdd i decided to try out tinyvista. i was baffled at how well it ran. it outperforms tiny7. i can get great fps on minecraft, alot better than wit tiny7 and it has much faster bootup ans shutdown that tiny7 does(!). and it only requires 256 mb of ram as opposed to the usual 512 mb required for normal vista. i very much prefer tinyvista over tiny 7, and also tinyvista has windows media player. something that tiny7 lacks for sum reason. the only draw back is the drivers, by default it has no drivers pretty much. luckily there was a driver installer but i had to dl sum other drivers on this one site. it may take a bot more work to get setup and stuff but its definantly worth it. as for the xp's ive yet to try those outside of a vm so not too sure bout them. and share your story as well of why you use a tiny
