| Re: Windows Vista Honestly, I think it's exactly what Malcolm said, a MS version of the Mac OS. I've heard that even if your PC has the recommended hardware, not just the requirements it still runs slow. On my ms box I'm running xp pro with an 80 gb hard drive and 1.25 gb ram, pentium 4, everything runs/works fine. I'd hate to go do a clean install, search for necessary drivers, just to lose functionality for the sake of a "pretty" os. I'm glad you guys mentioned the problematic upgrades, that's the first i heard that... |

| Re: Windows Vista If anybody is interested in buying Vista, it appears as though you can purchase the upgrade version and do a "clean install" -- even if you don't have the qualifying software (like XP). This means that you can save about $200 bucks on your purchase. DailyTech - Workaround Discovered For "Clean Install" With Vista Upgrade DVDs

| Re: Windows Vista its just an expensive upgrade with no benefits, besides possibly not working with your old hardware and running slower. originally they were going to add a real journaling filesystem and some other useful tech, but those things got scraped to get it out the door faster.

| Re: Windows Vista Like the dude said on the video, by the 2 giants copying each other and such, it will only lead to a better OS. However, once I have the cash to do so, I'm jumping ship to Apple.

| Re: Windows Vista I do a lot of graphic based stuff, so I'd naturally want to go to Apple. The one nice thing about their OS's is they don't have nearly as many problems as M$. But if worst comes to worst, I'll just dual boot WinXP and Linux, and go to Linux.
