Have you ever heard about Windows Vista? I do.

What do you hear about Windows Vista?

I've heard about it, for a long time now lol, I haven't heard anything really about it, just different than the other ones :D

I hear it expects too much of a computer to be installed. My crappy HP desktop can't handle that. I think I'd rather stick with XP or even Linux.

I hear you, my friend!

When Vista comes out, I'm buying a new computer. Forget using Vista on my current computer, that would be a major joke! :(

well my parents forked out 250 to get a psp for me, so i don't think i'll be able to get them to get me a better computer, even if it is a refurb (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=1696984&sku=E400-T6412).

When the new build comes out that allows dual-boot, I'm going to download it. My computer has about 2x the requirements of it. :D

haha who said they didnt care too?? :hehe:

Hey, a built-in chick-fil-a backround would do the vista good !

*yum* did you know chikfila sold icecream cones?! [/off topic]


this vista thing looks cool tho, i'll give it that much ;)

I've seen stuff about it, and have already said I'll get it. I have an AMD 64 and wanted to give xp 64-bit a shot but I never got it. So at this point I might as well wait until Vista full comes out, and I'll be able to get it for free from school. :)

What is "dual-boot" ??

I'm buying a new computer when Vista comes out, partly to have Vista, but mostly to install a Chinese input program on, since my brother doesn't want me to install it on the computer we share.

Yeah, i'm gonna get it, I just hope it's good.

I've heard about it, but really don't have an opinion on it as of yet. I guess I'll just have to see.

^ ;) Love puss in boots! </offtopic>

I've heard about Windows Vista. Personally XP is fine for me.

I can't wait for it :) but for now crystal xp will do just fine ;)

Having more than one operating system installed to choose from when you boot your system up... like Linux and Windows.

oh lol cool..

I've never heard of it before.

I've heard of Windows Vista and I'd like to try it! :D

I haven't heard that much about it. I think xp works just fine, especially since the system we had before it was 95! :lol: It really depends if my dad decides to get it, which I don't really expect. It sounds cool though.

Bah I know nothing much of vista and to be honest right now I dont really care, though I clicked I dont know on the poll when it comes out I may be very strapped for cash [probably] I'm happy with XP

Well, guys, there will be six versions of Windows Vista. :eek:

3 versions will be for home users.
2 versions will be for businesses.
1 version will be for "emerging markets."

Here are their names:
Vista Business
Vista Enterprise
Vista Home Basic
Vista Home Premium
Vista Ultimate
Vista Starter

If you guys are interested in the different versions, here's (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4754462.stm) where I got the information from. :)

Cooool I want one of the business ones, they are the best I think :D

I'm so behind. I still have Windows ME on this computer :lol:

uhh windows vista can duel boot. I tripple booted with vista, xp pro, and ubuntu linux using vistas boot configuration when the first beta 1 build was released.

and yes i wil be installing vista :):):)

I'm sure it's been said in this thread, but I bet hardly any computers will be able to cope with Windows Vista - it's requirements are far too much.

Anyway, in my opinion it's just a copy of Apple's Mac OS, and still won't be as good, and I doubt I'll upgrade to Vista. If anything, I'll change to Mac OS.

I want to get the ultimate!!!!!!!! (or Home Premium)

How is it a copy? :confused:

I mean, it's standard for Microsoft to release a new OS every few years.

I don't really know enough about its architecture, so I'm purely basing the similarities on the interface. :D

I'll get Windows Vista but not right away... When I get a new computer, but that will take about 2 yerars, because I just got a new computer with Windows XP Media Center Edition.lol

uhh windows vista can duel boot.

Are you sure?? One of my friends is a Vista beta tester and he said that it will dual boot in the next CTP release, not Februarys CTP.:confused:

Awww! :(

Microsoft to Delay Windows Vista Release (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060322/ap_on_hi_te/microsoft_windows;_ylt=Ake8TFGgAcRBQg5HYwrWJRys0NU E;_ylu=X3oDMTA3b2NibDltBHNlYwM3MTY-)

SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp. will delay the consumer release of its new Windows operating system until January 2007, missing the holiday sales season and throwing some PC makers and retailers into turmoil.

I was looking foward to buying a new PC with Vista on it this year.

That won't bode well for Microsoft.

Oh, well, at least they're taking the time to fix up more glitches and stuff, I suppose. =P
