Anybody here tried Windows VISTA?
 

Please tell me what you thought/think of it. I am downloading it now and am trying to figure out whether it is worth installing or if it is gonna be a BIG mistake.

Your input would be greatly appreciated

Your lover,

I would like to know to.....

if you don't download it to a 2nd or 3rd machine and not your primary workstation, you should be ok. it's a beta.

I have tried Windows VISTA RC1. It rocks...that's all I have to say about it...
a little bit not compatible with all drivers, but hey, it's not final version, and there are no new drivers around...for example my 5.1 surround system doesn't work in vista (i can hear the music only on 2 speakers), and so on...

I haven't tried it myself but have heard alot of good things about it.

If you got a spare box, go for it!

I'll wait for the release..their beta programs always seem to be full of bugs

loll so do the actual releases hehehe

i have it on a spare HD, so far so good

ALL betas do. That's what a beta is for. To get rid of the bugs. Otherwise it would be the regular version.

Thanks for your input peeps!

haven't tried it yet..

bump..........................

Never, I already have Os X.

My PC is ok now with this OS, why ruin it with eventual bugs?

i dont like vista

All windows OS's are a big mistake!
Thread closed, nothing left to be said.

OSX rules!

it's awesome, update from xp worked like a breeze and it's faster than XP

I have my product key and the 64 bit version on dvd.... just gotta find the time to install it now.

I have made a Unattended Vista cd, works like a charm

I dont know will it vista be good beacuse it is 64 bit and 64 bit is highly unsuported.In any case it look good visualy.

Vista comes in 64bit AND 32bit versions.

gonna wait for the non beta release :)

anyone have an issue with vista and firefox?

at times firefox seems to be jumpy like its moving up and down with a mouse lol

i LOVE it... i use it on some of my pc's allready...
it's great. lots of new features, and a nice new look :thumbsup

nope but someone on here was showing screenshots and they were really cool :) very mac-ish

runs smooth,
totally mac-look

do it on a spare pc

i tried it..

it's got a 90% copy of the MAC OSX look and feel, terrible slow on a Matrox GH550 card with 32 MB. But with my Wildcard VP880 card it didn't even want to start and hung up.

switched to Win2K look and feel (what i do anyways) - that's much better.

totally annoying: if you want to delete a desktop shortcut you have to press 3 times ok that you really want to delete it and have the rights to do so

explorer views have changed - sucks big time.

can't say that i'm much impressed, guess i'll continue to use XP until Vista SP1 is out.

might be only interesting for my 64 Bit machines, but then nearly no software i use runs on 64 Bit OS so far.

I'll wait a couple of months at least before trying it.

I'm excited to see what it's like, but don't have a spare machine to put it on right now. I'll just wait for the actual release. XP works just fine for me right now.

I'll wait for the final release
