Windows Vista plans to offer you spiffy new graphics, as long as you're not a pirate.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad. Vista doesn't look very attractive right now.

Someone will hack it I'm sure but who needs Vista anyway? I don't need a power hungry OS when XP works good enough for games and linux works just fine for everything else.

I honestly think you're going to see more and more people go the open source route....XP was M$'s best OS yet.....but even still Windows is a huge resource hog and the prime target of viruses and hackers......
I really hope that we'll see better driver support and gaming options for open source OS'

If linux ever gets support for all the games and a good system for updates and installing apps then I'll never use anything else.

Oh for sure. If linux gets support for games i am surely going to switch. I just don't want to pay for it. Linux needs to be more user friendly too, i don't like using a command interface to install stuff.

Yea thats my biggest problem with it. I use a command line rarely so linux is a pain. Redhat's update is so so but if the linux community really wants more people they have to have a better way to install things. For all it's faults windows makes it easy to install and remove programs.

and you can play games on it. And a much, much wider range of compatible products.

Some how I just felt that Microsoft is up to something evil. There was a debate between me and some pc geeks on what is required to run Vista, one the graphic specs has to be that of a high end gamer rig and second, lots of memory. Most stated that 1GB of RAM is over kill for XP, hog wash I say!!!!! For Vista memory requirement to run smooth without snags, 2GB should cut it, but then again I could be wrong. As for pirated OS, I don't know if they run smoothly and all cuz I went the legal way and buy them to save the headache that I hear is often associated with pirated Windows.

Vista will run on machines that are not top end Django but you won't get all the frills that way.

Heh that is true Joker, I need to spend some time in here and read up on some stuff that I didn't know about. From what I have read about Vista and mess, I will put off the upgrade plans till next year.
