every os has problems at first.. i believe that Vista will be the norm in a few years

 

give it a year and nothing will be compatable with XP and you will need Vista to do anything.

That is unless you like playing old games. Or using programs at work that still require Windows 98 [:@].

 

I just installed Vista on my IBM T43 laptop and I love it. I had it so it was a triple boot system - WinXP, Vista, and Fedora6(linux), but I decided to just ditch XP and stick with a dual boot of Vista and Fedora. Ive had no compatability issues yet, and I love the new look/feel. I'm an IT student at RIT and I actually get legit copies of Vista Business for free. I have XP on my desktop, but I'm definately switching to Vista/Fedora combo.

If anyone is considering switching to Vista, just make sure you have at least 1GB of ram and a decent processor. Also if you want the cool window effects (aero) be sure to have a good video card.

 

I don't see the point of Vista.

2000 worked great, I upgraded to XP for the gaming support. Vista consumes an assload of ram.

If you like it, props to you man!

 

the only reason i got it was becuase it was so cheep. i thought about selling it for teh org price and making a buck so i could get alky injection but i decided to just load it
