Why did you buy it? I don't see the need for a new OS as of now. Wait for Vista SP2! :D

I'll wait at least a couple of years before buying Vista.

I'll wait till the first batch of patches comes out

Webair died?
Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that

i always wait a few month till they get all the bugs out.
watch there will be a security issue within the next few days that patches will be released for.
once they get all the kickes out of it after a few month i will install that current version at that time.
until them i am very happy with XP SP2.
very stable and reliable and it kicks that apple crap in the ass.

Yep, that's correct!

Going to install Windows Vista? Read this first: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut00...ista_cost.html

Say you've just bought Pink Floyd's “The Dark Side of the Moon”, released as a Super Audio CD (SACD) in its 30th anniversary edition in 2003, and you want to play it under Vista. Since the S/PDIF link to your amplifier/speakers is regarded as insecure for playing the SA content, Vista disables it, and you end up hearing a performance by Marcel Marceau instead of Pink Floyd.

for those playing with vista.. can you play with the parental control function.

create a profile for a child setting.. and looking to see what the default settings are.. like blocks everything (ie porn), etc.

screenshots would be appreciated since i don't plan on upgrading to vista

Vista

I wouldn't recommend Vista for now. It is very new so there aren't many drivers for it at the moment. The best solution is to wait 4-5 months until all the major producers will launch compatible drivers for Windows Vista.

It's lame to compare XP and Win98 because Win9x/Me is a big trouble but not a real 32-bit OS at all. On the other hand, XP and Vista are successors of Windows NT (NT3,4/Win2K). So XP has a shitload of advantages over Win98 but it almost the same as Win2K. The same is VISTA. Actually it has a same core as WinXP.

Personally I remember the DOS 5 times very well. I wasn't using Win'98 because it was just a pile of shit, but I was happy with NT 4 and Win2K. When I moved to XP, I haven't noticed any advantages over Win2K... I'd still be happy using Win2K but it's not supported my m$ anymore...

Ok so i finally got it to work somehow. Sometimes when i install an application like ICQ 5.1 for example, the install aborts and tells me theres a problem between the OS and the software. So i restart the machine and guess what? - its installed! That happends on nearly every software i tried to install on vista yet. The new vista desktop is ultra smooth and hell yeah iam getting comfortable with vista somehow. Lets see how stable it is in the long run

xp is fast on current mid-range hardware... it does anything I need it to, so I'm not going to be upgrading for a while.

I used Windows 2000 for two years after xp came out and i only switched cause it came with my laptop.

You'll all be running vista soon enough...

The jump from win98se to XP was rather impressive and was one of the best OS upgrades I?ve ever experienced in terms of stability and overall driver compatibility with existing hardware. I?ve used Vista. I?ve played around with it. Sure, it?s fine? it?s just another OS. It won?t wipe your ass. It won?t fix you a sandwich. It?s absolutely nothing special. The jump from XP to Vista is minimal when compared to 98 to XP. Until XP becomes obsolete I see no reason to upgrade to Vista; until the software I use is no longer compatible with XP, why bother upgrading?

If you are buying a new computer and it comes pre-loaded with Vista sure you have a reason to start using it. Otherwise I just don't see the point... it runs a bit slower than XP and really adds nothing new to the table than tons of DRM bullshit.
