I just built a new Core2Duo system, running Vista on it .. the only thing I couldn't find working drivers for, was my old ass TV Tuner card which always had problems under XP anyway.. everything else works fine, and Vista is running great.
The first few days were tough, there was a lot to get used to, and to get working just right ..
Yep my gf bought a new computer with vista on it. It sucks donkey balls right now. Kept crashing and locking up and she's got a dualcore.
Now how the hell did that happen?
Vista isnt out yet.
We got a new computer for the office and got a coupon for a free upgrade when its released.
As long as you used "name brand" parts there are drivers that work with vista, and will work fine for most things.
People I know running vista that arent trying to do more then what they have drivers for find it just as stable or moreso then XP, and actually like it.

Opps sorry, thinking of something else all together. I was thinking of the new version of WE.
I'm hoping they'll have a good portion of the bugs worked out by Summer...
I'm hoping to pick up a Tablet-PC hybrid notebook at that point (paperless life FTW), and it'd be cool to not need to upgrade the oS for a couple years.
I've got a free vista upgrade coming for the new Dell XPS I just got. When I get it, the disk goes into a drawer 'til summer at least. Then I'll install it and get all the new patches, drivers, etc.
ok, I was wrong bunch of stuff got updated, but how useful is IE7, windows media player 11, upgrades to ms paint, wordpad or sound recorder? You can honestly say that paying $300 for a bunch of little upgrades and useless features is worthwhile??

There's tons of useful stuff listed on that page not just what you listed.

Build 6000 eh? I'm running 5744 (rc2) .. i wonder if i could upgrade
Hmmm, i'll download it and give it a shot. I've got a code from microsoft for the beta testing program that is supposed to be good till June next year, i'll try it out.
