If you just want vista for the looks, just go dual boot with Linux Ubuntu Beryl and Windows XP (for GAMES), if you want it for performance just plainly don't get it. It's not worth the price.

And then there was silence.

Try the beta first. I wouldn't bother because of compatibility issues.

I know one person who got Vista and liked it. However, I also know about 4 people who also "upgraded" and they say they want to chew their faces off.

It is really a matter of personal preference.

Personally, I would wait until they came out with a service pack or something. Windows is known for having buggy operating systems when they are first released. Additionally, Vista apparantly sucks up system resources.

I know people who have bought all-new lappies and compies with Vista pre-installed and have no problems with it. I mean, all they do is download lame YouTube videos anyways. But I wouldn't touch Vista for its lack of decent program compatibility (so far) and the fact that it's a hardware hog (discrete graphics a REQUIREMENT? Pfft).

I had Windows Vista since Dec. 2006. Wondering how? My dad works for a company and got it for FREE.

It's pretty good, bummer that some programs I use to have don't work on it =\

No. It is way to buggy. Wait till they release a service pack or something.

Vista is pretty sweet. :) I love it but if you have all the security on it runs a bit slower.

I would wait awhile. Eventually it will be worth getting but not at the moment.
