Hey,

Windows Vista was pubically realised worldwide yesterday my time. Will you be upgrading to Vista? Have you upraded to Vista?

I haven't upgraded to it and probably won't. The only time we would get it is if we bought a PC and Windows XP and this PC are doing fine at the moment. The price tag eventually should go down to a price that people would actually be prepared to pay at the moment the most expensive package is around $1000. Most companies will be waiting around a year for everything to settle down before they will plan to upgrade to it.

It looks quite cool but I haven't seen many screenshots of it. I'm just wondering if Apple will have to update their boot camp software for Windows Vista. I think they will be, but it will be a while I think as they are still in beta with the Windows XP version of Boot Camp.

It doesn't look anything amazing to me, it just looks like they have improved on Windows XP.

Heres 100 reasons you'll be speachless with Windows Vista, I'm looking through it now. Click here.

I won´t upgrade unless it is necessary for work purposes or something like that. I´m sure that my machine is not fast enough for Windows Vista Requirements. Anyway I´m tired of Microsoft operating systems and I´m not going to do the beta testing for them (because I´m sure there will be lots of bugs like in XP and they will have to launch a service pack soon).

I won't upgrade neither, because it seems to be too much work, and I'm just laaaaaa-zeee tongue.gif laugh.gif There also seems to be lots of bugs too? So it'd be pointless tbh

Haha, I'm with him. I mean, yeah, I know that the graphics are supposed to be a lot nicer and all, but currently there's no software market that uses it. - I'd like to use my P2P apps WITHOUT emulation if just for argument's sake.
That and I'm a linux-ish guy.

Also I have heard on some Computer Support Forums that some people want to uninstall the beta version because they can't play games and use programs that they would like to.

I will take my sweet time waiting to upgrade. Main reasons:
1. Need more RAM (I need more for XP anyway)
2. No need for it (I like flash and fluff, but it's not strictly necessary)
3. Lack of support (my dad probably hasn't seen it yet).

Well, the answer is a "NO" for me too.
I am planning to switch to Linux when I will get my new PC which will be I guess 2 months from now so no need to take the tension of upgrading to Vista and I hate Windows XP itself, I know the graphics and all are a lot nicer but graphics don't really fascinate me to be honest. And on top of that I am not going to buy it and I might end up in trouble with the pirated copy if I ever connect to the internet.
Still I might have a dual-boot with Ubuntu and Vista, Vista for my gaming purposes and Linux for everything else. tongue.gif

heh
I might upgrade to Vista someday thought it won't be for the near future.
have you seen those prizes man???? outrageous for an operation system!!
I'd rather download it illegal then pay such a prize for an OS that uses the maximum of your computer system.
my pc is fully capable of running vista, but i rather stay at windows xp.

anyway linux sounds a very good idea, if you compare the amount of crashes with windows and linux
only bad thing about linux is the development of games on the platform, which are kinda a big point in my view ^^

mm I'm surely gonna wait for it untill the prizes drop or untill i can get it for free ^^

[edit]
lol i just found out that i can get a serial for free ^^ thank you msdnaa
heh but i hate waiting while my hdd is formatting
