Re: Windows Vista

He brought it to school and did a presentation about it, but nothing worked Visually it looks sweet, with the "glass" surface and the 3D windows, but every time he tried to make it work it just wouldnt...then he reinstalled it, tried again and all his drivers were messed up.

Re: Windows Vista
I've been working with vista for the last month (when the final RTM went "out") and it's running smoothly. The drivers worked (except for an Adaptec card i had) and all the software was updated to work with it. It seems like the OSX version mixed with XP but it requires a good PC for it (with at least 1G of ram). Besides that, i didnt felt anything new or better comparing with XP.
The version that's circulating in the torrents (the BillGates 6600 RTM) is the final one but it needs to be activated 30 days after instalation. I have an official key so i activated mine and it worked like a charm.

Re: Windows Vista
You can download the beta version for free officially. I just switched back to XP i got from demonoid. I didnt like vista to much. Not that special. Nero dosent work in it, aim dosent, it would freeze when opening up my computer a lot. The zune dosent work with it yet it either . gay

Re: Windows Vista
Friend of mine bought a 2grand laptop last month. It has XP pre-installed but he's gettinig a free Vista upgrade next week. I'll try it on his machine and see if i like it or not. If not I'll just stick to XP!

Re: Windows Vista
Which one you'll get?
Starter Edition
Home Basic
Home Premium
Ultimate Edition
Sounds bit fishy to me to have so many versions. Especially when you have to buy the most expensive version if you wanna have some of the features that you'd like to have which are not in the other versions. And what about other languages?
Windows XP will be around for long time...
