Yes, because you know Vista's gonna be forced upon us, seems they do that with every operating system they've brought out past 95/98. and this one's really expensive...

No, I don't have Vista. I've tried Vista Beta 2 and didn't like it at all. It's just a spiced up version of Windows XP.

I have 5 different builds, including RTM lots of eye candy, nothing special, just the same old XP, repackaged.
needs a lot more ram I would recommend minimum 2 gig to run effectively, the machine that I have loaded it on is an emachine with 1 gig ram, and it is immediately using the swap file, even with missing drivers. Old rule of thumb take M$ recommended minimum and multiply by four 512 x4 = 2 gig I think I wait until SP 1 is released!! -------------------- The name says it all -- 59 and holding permanently

I'm lucky if I can get XP to do what I want, and I'd rather spend money on games, so no, I don't have Vista

i want to keep WinXP for 10 more years...but they are only making DX10 for Vista
 ---------------------------------------- >>>from my first and only look<<< ---------------------------------------- THINGS I HATE ABOUT VISTA: 1. all the new things look like spyware 2. IE7 sucks...wont delete all cookies...bad buttons and layout (i was happy with IE6 and its problems) 3. i dont need parental controls 4. it look like they are trying to make it look like Mac OSX (i went with windows due to the fact that its not a apple) 5. i bet i cant make it look like WinXP (color maybe, buttons and layout hell no) 6. i want speed not slow me down eye candy trash --------------------------------------- if i can do these things i will be happy: 1. uninstall all the crap i dont need 2. go back to IE6 3. make it look and act like WinXP but with Vista colors (black is cool) 4. have the Win98 start menu This post has been edited by Serious Dave: Jan 3 2007, 10:02 AM -------------------- .___.
