Thought as much.

To get Vista running on here, I'd have to go blow about $500 on the a new motherboard and CPU and more RAM... and even though I have 200GB of storage here, I fill it up like you wouldn't believe...

For now, I'm happy enough with XP. I see no real reason to switch to Vista, not yet, anyway.

Unlike most of you, I'm not some 13 year old leeching off my parents (anymore) so I will buy it. Anyone who says they won't buy it because "LOL LINUX IS BETTER" "IT WILL BE FULL OF BUGZ AN SPLOITZ LOL" really means to say "I won't be able to afford it."

Hrr Hrr, hay guyz I gots teh monies.
You seriously expect it to not have bugs? I don't think I've ever opened Windows Update without there being 10+ critical updates for me to install.
Did you ever think that some people think it's just unnecessary to some people? But whatever! Woohoo arbitrary explanations.

You know what, anyone who's getting Vista is a 13 year old leeching off his parents.

Well, I already knew apple ditched their processors and moved to intel, but I didn't think they could run Windows applications....But despite hearing this...I still recommend Vista due to the fact that....Windows is better......

You really think we care about your insults? You are someone who always goes off to negative irrealvant tangents, and insults Halo and Microsoft. If you hate halo and microsoft why are you here?

That's a bold statement. I would say that OS X is faster, cleaner, and much more polished than Windows, but that's just me.

Guess what?! This topic is about Windows! Talking about Windows is thus on-topic! I'm seriously tired of you picking a fight with every one of Dan!!'s posts just because you seem to have some sort of personal vendetta against him. Grow up.

You cared enough to reply, WAY TO GO. Also: insults? what? where?

I think you mean "You disagree with me too much, be quiet and agree."
I think THC already explained the whole "irrealvant" thing.
and insults Halo and Microsoft.
I'm not insulting, I'm complaining because I'm dissatisfied with their products. I don't see where you see that I insulted Microsoft. I was simply noting to Malf that it almost definitely will have bugs. Last time I looked, that's not insulting.
If you hate halo and microsoft why are you here?
I don't hate either. The reason why I'm here is that I like to mod halo and help people mod halo. I've become a member of the community and I'd like to contribute to the community by expressing and explaining my opinions on issues and topics. Because after all, it's a community of halo modders, not a shrine to halo and microsoft.

Owned.

Way to try insult Dan!!, AGAIN, Warbandit. FFS, stop picking fights with everybody who don't agree with your point of view. It will get you NOWHERE in life. Stop living in your sheltered little world where only your opinions count, because that's no way to earn respect.

kthxbi.

The main reason I want windows Vista is because of Halo 2 PC, and it also supports 64 bit and dual core processors.

(Can the beta version of Vista run Halo 2?)

Well, being as it hasn't been released yet, I guess we'll see.
