Well, it's finally here.
It's about time, 'cause anything beats XP. Anyone have it yet? ![]() Looks like they're trying to imitate the Macintosh's graphical user interface with Aero. ![]() Windows_Vista_Wiki |

Criticisms of Windows Vista include protracted development time, more restrictive licensing terms, the inclusion of a number of technologies aimed at restricting the copying of protected digital media, and the usability of the new User Account Control Security Technology. Reviewers have also noted similarities between Vista's Aero interface and that of Apple's Mac OS X operating system, particularly around the use of transition effects. Moreover, some concerns have been raised about many PCs meeting "Vista Premium Ready" hardware requirements and Vista's pricing.
Not only that. There are 6 editions with costs ranging from €259 for Basic, to €599 bucks for the Ultimate edition!! Yeah right! Ps: Looks like voice recognition has been improved though. *yawn* |

Did you get a pair of safety belt ??? I have a presentiment that new Vista will crash often!
yes I know about the new system, I installed a Longorn last summer but now, since I got pro tools I must freeze both my computers XP and OSX cause looks I cant do any updates or whatever, otherwise protools doesnt work. fuck in cul!

Think I'll stick with XP until the "upgrade" will be a real necessity. I quite hate changing OS, especially when the one I run works just fine (not many problems with xp in my personal record, some crashing with games but who really cares...If I was that into gaming I'd probably buy a console...).

Microsoft puts WAY too much into the appearance of their products. Media player 11 looks amazing, but guess what? The progress bar is broken half the time.
It is about time that they release it though, going to be nice to replace my XP system with it. I'll be running with Vista, OSX, and Fedora Core 6, so I'll be damn up to date. I'm just going to wait a bit for the price to drop and security leaks to be patched up a little.

It takes a village to raise boy.....
and apparently it takes Microsoft 6+ years to release a new OS. Smoke and mirrors is what I say, yeah it may be shiny and glossy and clear and 3-d, but guess what ITS STILL WINDOWS, it probably won't work as designed and evidently you need a mega machine to even load the ''platinum'' version. Sorry but I'm not impressed by Vista, I've heard from friends who have tested it, that it isn't nearly the OS you would expect from its visual beauty. |

I'm going to upgrade soon. Looking forward to it. I had no issues with XP - it was a great operating system. The Games for Windows thing seems like a great idea too. Yay. I'm going to upgrade my computer soon too when I have some $$$.

Pretty much every operating system they created is based on the Windows 98SE kernel, with a few bug fixes. I like the accessibility in windows, but they're corperate fucks. The networks are easy and clean to install in windows, but you need to buy, update, rebuy, and reupdate antivirus, they make you purchase office software for a bundle, and they limit their compatibilities and it's closed source. Although harder to use, I like my Fedora Core 6.

ah! you are okay. I like what apple did during the years especially in the beginning but Harry Potter won. Intel and microsoft are definitely onto mac computers and they made them already less solid!! Hook up well the safety belt and welcome aboard!

sorry, but that's just a bunch of balls-- xp is a fine OS, does what you ask, it's stable as a rock; and media center seems to be great for people who use it-- better than mac in that respect as a matter of fact (for what i understand anyway). but mac looks better without the hardware upgrades. what vista does is a few things better, and it sure looks a lot better, but i don't give 2 fucks (for now anyway). i'm waiting a couple of years until it's fully debugged before i upgrade. well, maybe less, we'll see. i'm sure they'll be releasing a number of service packets in no time though. let the early adopters take it up the ass. |

I like XP. I've had zero problems with it, which is quite good for a Sebastian/Computer relationship.
