Yes. Hopefully it'll shut up some of the Vista bashers who've been hanging around here.

Very interesting, in-depth article.

I am actually genuinely excited about Windows Vista.

I don't know.. For some reason it feels like I've read this before. Besides the information in the article, here's why I'd get Vista :
1) The interface actually looks good.
2) It's got Halo 2
3) It's got DX10

One word: w00t.

To be honest, I've been more excited about Vista than I've been about H2PC...

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

The kernel may not be "sexy," but it's critical.

I will get vista but probably not for 2 years when its only like $50-100. i like the Pen drive thing though, I wonder if you could make it so it used that memory in your video card, This computer I'm on has the the intel crapulated video card. If it can I will get it sooner.

I have the new UI and aero glass installed on my xp.
It is sweet .
All you need are the :
1.full version of windowblinds which can be bought**cough** ;)
2.And the vista transformation pack (vtp) here . The download is in the fourth topic from the top, and its a good place to get help too.
**Be careful when you install, read all the instructions**

You will miss out on alot of stuff. Every game desinger and everything you'll want to download will all require Vista to be downloadable.

If you remember back to 2000-2001 the same discussion was going on about Windows XP and having to upgrade from 98 or 2000. Well geuss what Personally i think MS -blam!- up on XP. Personally the best OS they made was 98! The amount of Crap i loaded onto that thing and it still ran like a charm!

Seriously i had 98 on my older PC till around June this year. And im not one for security systems and things like that. But i finally Dled Spyware doctor and Virus detector. I found out that over the coarse of around 6 years that computer accumulated over 7000 threats and viruses. It Took a Trojan to take down Windows 98! This friggin OS was imuine to everything. Now my comptuer is at PC medic becuase everything was blown to hell after that xD. But im hoping that VIsta will be able to have virus and threats and still run smooth.

okay, I , Captain Booger, hereby and from this day forward take back EVERYTHING I have said.

VISTA LOOKS GOOD!

I was having trouble with it before, but i tried something new...

I partitioned my Hard-Drive, and it worked just great. Then I tried the test-drive for Office 2007 on the microsoft site....

FINALLY everything out in the open like that! it was like using and controlling the mere essence of the binary itself! Now I see my flaws...

FORGIVE ME BUNGIE!, FORGIVE ME MICROSOFT, FORGIVE ME OBI_WAN!

of course i'm still skeptical about how secure it's gonna be....
with all these betas flyin around, it just gives crakers more of a chance to beat it before it starts...

BUT, that's forseeable, and i'm sure Microsofts already working on it.
