<p>i hear it's coming out january 2007 for home edition. </p>
<p>anyone getting it?</p>
<p>I might, if I have the money and if it ever comes out.</p>
<p>But I won't if they keep scraping features to deliver it to an increasingly later deadline.</p>
<p>No, I hate Windows. </p>
<p>LINUX FOREVER!</p>
<p>The beta version came out a while ago. Maybe someone who has it can tell us how it is.</p>
<p>I'll get it when and if the price comes down and when my xp box fails...</p>
<p>there are like 8-9 different new versions coming out (i.e. Vista Ultimate, Vista Home, Vista etc.) Hopefully its better then the XP but Im not moving over until I have to</p>
<p>i am pi ssed.
i was originally gonna buy a laptop over summer with vista to it and bring to my university. but now they delay it until january.. and i'm gonna have to buy a laptop with XP on it still...
i'll upgrade when vista comes out.</p>
<p>I will wait and see how good Vista is compared to XP before I decide whether I will switch. Besides, XP is good in its own right, and I don't feel I will need to care until college, when Vista when be in full use.</p>
<p>I'm going to dual boot with SUSE and XP until I can see a good reason as to why Vista will be worth it. The graphical effects alone would be such a drain on so many computers as compared to the KDE environment, which IMO, is what Vista should have based theirs on.</p>
<p>This is off topic but there are 65,289 members in this forum at this moment.
My problem with Vista lies in how it will handle some of my programs, for those like Finale don't update often to new OS.</p>
<p>Vista will really kick ass. It has huge security updates, and an entirely new framework. Are any of you guys following up on the MSDN series showing the new developer architecture? This is a HUGE update for Windows, and is going to help push along good things for the next few years.</p>
<p>Would the security updates beat that of Symantec? It would be nice to stop paying the money to have it.
Actually, I am more focused on the dual-core technology used by Intel on its processors and seeing where that goes.</p>
<p>Kman1456 - one of the problems we'll see in the next year with dual-core is that software isn't expertly written for it. Most software is written for single core processors, so in order to take advantage of dual core you have to write multithreaded software(not easy, esp when used in cutting edge advanced applications, game engines, etc). </p>
<p>That being said, you automatically do get a big boost in speed though.</p>
<p>sadly, most of our computers wont have the specs to run it</p>

Sorry, but I was wondering how you knew about this?</p>
<p>Get ubuntu Linux: <a href="http://www.ubuntulinux.org%5B/url%5D">http://www.ubuntulinux.org</a>.</p>
<p>Sadly I champion Windows XP because it knocks the pants off of Linux (I've used both).</p>
<p>Vista will suck balls! All it's got is eye candy and more eye candy. It'll be like installing windowsblinds on xp then calling it a new OS. Yay!</p>
<p>I won't personally be getting it (i'm getting a mac and won't be dual booting) though my familly will probably get it for this current desktop if I think it's an improvement.</p>

<p>Nevermind the new searching features, redesigned networking, supposed improvement in home PC-to-PC communication over a LAN, a new development API, much better security features, and support for much larger amounts of RAM. </p>
<p>Oh, and built-in support for hybrid hard drives isn't anything much, either. </p>
<p>What else?</p>
<p>Native IPv6 stack
The new Kernel Transaction Manager
The fact that system services are now in a separated and isolated session
Oh and you know what else? True support for x64 processors. </p>
<p>But really, it's just a new UI.</p>
