Yeah...read my Vista thread if you need any more proof that Vista is not ready :p. I would be alot happier with it if...
  • It recognized you as administrator and didn't prompt you every five seconds if you wanted to do something.
  • I could install all my programs (have trouble with Realplayer, AIM, and anything coded in Java.).
  • I could uninstall Vista like I can XP.
  • I could get good drivers for Vista (ATI drivers SUCK on Vista and Creative is infamous for their lousy driver support.).
  • You could see some serious benefits to DX10.
  • Vista didn't take 300MB of system RAM on startup lol.
In conclusion, Vista has A TON of potential, but way too many problems to be called anything other then "beta" right now. It's been a while since I've used Vista, so I don't remember some of the problems, but oh well. It's DEFINITELY in beta. Can't wait to see the final version though, looks cool.

It would be nice if they work out as many bugs as possible. Just imagine what a pain in the ass it must be to get something that works with All the different software titles and the MILLIONS of possible combinations of hardware too..

I can Wait...

Agreed. And I hate to have an operating system that's supposed to be the coolest thing ever and should just be renamed "Windows 95 in 3D" :p. But hey, if they do anywhere near as good a job as they did XP...I'll be tempted to pay for the $400 juggernaut myself.

400 is for the Ultimate Crazy version, the reg one should be the same as XP is now.

if you think about it it is a amazing deal for what you get, to those of you that dont think so write a OS thats as good as Windows and il give you the hundred bucks...
