So, you guys going Vista? And what version would you like to get?
Discuss here.

The most expensive one.

no.
1. My notebook would never handle Vista, it only has 256mb of memory (or was it 128... hmm)
2. My desktop has 480mb. (yes, I was like "wtf?" too when I found that out)
3. I like XP just fine, in fact, if 3ds max ran on 98, I'd be using 98 second edition.

My computer easily has all the requirements, but when I tried to install Beta 2, it went totally fine, restarted twice (continuing the install), and then told me it failed and undid the install.

I might get it. Maybe in a year or so, once I get a new computer.

the only reason i may get vista is for the next series of games coming out that will be programmed for windows, and not linux. if i get a laptop, it'll have 2 partitions, one for backtrack (pentesting linux distro) and one for xp/vista (so i can play games).

in my opinion, the only thing windows is good for is gaming and casual things, otherwise it's just not very efficient.

windows - expensive, gui hogs up system performance, targeted by viruses, spyware, hackers, and all the other nasty things on the net.
linux - powerful os, completely free, extremely customizable, and the workhorse of the internet.

Why not just get Suse with XGL? XGL makes vista seem like shit atm. and remember kids! Linux is freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I'm saving up my money this summer, and I'm probably going to buy a MacBook Pro which should run Vista, so I'll install it with Boot Camp.

i'll pick up backtrack before vista. those of you interested in both linux and security would be interested. but vista will still get all the games made for it.

I used Whoppix before WHAX (never got a chance to try WHAX, kernel always failed, don't know why). I'll definately check this out, thanks for the link.

Windows Vista will be cool from what I have heard, I haven't looked into Vista at all.

I like my Windows XP Media Center a lot though.

I might get it.
But I probably won't pay for it.......i you know what I mean

I like that. You get what you pay for.

Let's avoid the warez discussion.

i'll get it when i need it

It looks like DirectX 10 is going to be exclusive to Vista so I think I'm going to have to get it. ;\

Correct me if I'm wrong.

OMFG He means his parents will pay it for him

As soon as i get my new xps yes. i will be..

dell? pfft. as if it hasn't been said a thousand times before, homebuilt>brand-name.

the_hushed_casket: no problem

Hell yes...

If your computer can run it i recommend getting vmware. Its a virtual pc in which you can run xp and vista at the same time, sure it takes up loads of ram and is kinda slow but hey its worth it. I got Windows Vista Beta 2 and Windows xp all on one machine! I must say Vista is pretty cool.

p.s.- vista is gonna have media center built into it this time...

I'm going to get vista.

I'm excited for Vista though. I just plan on getting the basic version of it, though.
