Just wondering

[ME BIGGD01]

How many people Plan on getting or atleast trying Vista.

[Caged Anger]

XP FTW, they have most of the bugs worked out of XP. I'm gonna stick with it for at least another year if not longer

[OUTLAWS Tip]

I'll be using Vista Home Premium upgrade edition after I load my old version of XP home on my new pc. I'll be waiting a bit and slowly be purchasing parts for my new system this year.

[NastyDawg]

I plan on building a new computer later this year. (Nov -Dec) So unless I hear just way to many horror stories I will making the switch then.

[Dan2]

I will switch from XP to Vista early next year, when I get a new computer.

[OUTLAWS high ping camper]

Our IT guy at work said he would give me a copy for home (our work is licensed for such). He has also given me Microsoft's "Virtual PC". I am looking forward to installing it, because I've always wanted to learn/practice installing different OS'.

[MassacreAL]

i will get vista along with directX 10 card. early next year, probably, like dan 2

[BobtheCkroach]

I'll probably switch sooner than later. I haven't had a chance to use it a lot, but what I've done with beta 2 I've liked.

Work is subscribed to MS's action pack, so we should get a copy of it in house here within the next few months. I'll probably run with that a little, bit, but baring any issues, I'll probably switch to vista in the first half of the year. It definitely won't be until I can get my hands on a decently priced DX10 card, though.

[Caged Anger]

just found out that I can get a free copy through the MSDN alliance FSC has, therefore I MIGHT (emphasize MIGHT) consider dual-booting XP Pro and Vista to see how it works

[Pure_Evil]

I have so many other places to spend $100

[Speedsweeper]

Sometime during the summer of 2007, hopefully when UT3 is released.

You actually think UT3 will be released this smmer? :D

I will upgrade later this year too ... will see comments then..

Guttman's research suggests that consumers will pay more for less with poorer picture quality yet higher costs since Microsoft needed to obtain licences from third parties in order to access the technology that protects premium content (those licence fees were presumably incorporated into Vista's price).

Moreover, he calculated that the technological controls would require considerable consumption of computing power with the system conducting 30 checks each second to ensure that there are no attacks on the security of the premium content.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot believe how people love bending over for Microsoft everytime they release another piece of trash. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!

[Goober]

Seeing that XP is working fine and all my business software works well with it I would say that I will not switch for at least a year. Let the bugs get worked out of it first.

Thanks for posting that, about what I thought the benchmarks would be. Now that it's been out for a few days has anyone seen if peeps are having any problems with it?

[Death Engineer]

I'm not gonna bother at home, but at work, I don't have a choice. People buy new computers to work with our product and nearly all of them choose Dell. Dell is pretty much only selling Vista now. So we have to support it. /sigh

On a side note, I have gotten alot more familiar with Ubuntu Linux in the last month or so. You can even run it in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (the beta is currently free) with a few tweaks.

Some have had problems with drivers and etc.
This forum talks about a few problems some have had with the new versions.
