    Vista is done and will be available Jan 30, 2007!

    "Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday it has completed work on its long-delayed Windows Vista operating system and plans to release it to consumers January 30."

    Well well... that's earlier than I expected. It should be interesting to see how sales do.

    The question is will you try it? I will, but on a shitty box that I have laying around. I'll just pop a couple of gigs of ram into it and see how it operates before I swap full out. Thoughts?

          Already tried it and was quite pleasantly surprised:

            I upgraded from 98SE to XP pretty fast (as in the first couple of days it was out) but I have absolutely no reason to upgrade to Vista. XP works and it works well... I'll end up skipping Vista and wait for their next OS.

              I'll wait till the early adopters cry and bitch at MS to start releasing service packs to fix all of the bug fixes. Then I might think about it.

                And I'm sure that a 3.6GB Service Pack 1 will be necessary by February 01.

                    Actually, there was a patch back in the RC1 build... Vista is already setting records for being the first OS to have a security patch BEFORE it was commercially released.

                      I feel the same way, that's the reason why I'm gonna upgrade, XP boredom and Vista is gonna be refreshing.

                      As far as my system goes, I have an AMD 60FX dual core processor and 4-gigs of ram, with dual Geforce 7900 GTX SLI'd, so I'm ready for it

                                    Is the richest man in the world also the world's biggest white collar criminal?

                                    If he illegally leveraged a monopoly, bundled, and engaged in anti-competitive practices to make his money, maybe.

                                      Ive got RC2 on my PC right now. It's pretty buggy and has a buncha compatibility problems.

                                      I'd take it off if I didnt use my mac all the time... It is nice aesthetically.
