I always forget at least one good possible option. :dizzy:

[uripyores]

that may be a few years. Microsoft is busy with xp sp3 :DI'm sticking with XP - I've almost got used to it :D - and anyway I heard M$ are working on their new OS, apparently called Vienna. :dizzy:

[cHiNgY1788]

i too have gotten used to XP

[IronAces]

i upgraded to 2GB of ram using vista, runs awesome, loving it!

[khanibal]

Already got my copy.. for free to boot! Gotta love MS giveaway's!

I'll fully switch when my soundcard has vista drivers ready.

(HURRY UP AUZENTECH ***)

[Rainbow32]

I'll skip Vista and wait for Vienna.

[Murf]

Dual booting with XP and VISTA Business Edition (final release). Haven't completely switched to VISTA as of today not convinced it is any better than XP. At least not "Yet".

Running a 2.8Ghz with 1.5GB memory, so it does run good.

[IronAces]

Vienna is to be released between 2009-2012, quite a wait >.<

[lazygeneration0]

What possible features could they throw into Vienna? What else is left?

[IronAces]

i've read about a few new features, but i cant remember them, check wikipedia for info

[BassettHound]

I will be upgrading....

[Sir Yuck]

i'm fine with 98se.

[renegade600]

What possible features could they throw into Vienna? What else is left?

the features that they promised for vista but tool out so they can have something for a later upgrade.

[theothershane]

Why would I? XP causes me more than enough aggravation to be going on with...

I'll cut down on my smoking and drinking to live long enough for Vienna.:D

[IronAces]

hahaha

Got a few free copies. Dual boot on several machines, some with XP and some with Linux.

If you've got the power, it's quite pretty. Easier to work with, as is Office2007. Sadly, eats disc space.
These two need a prtition of about 8gb, Kubuntu with OpenOffice takes about 2gb!

[cHiNgY1788]

free!? how did you get free stuff?

[Snurfen]

I'm a dandy highwayman! It was a case of "Stand and deliver!"

or the real version, I've got a stack of MS subscriptions in work. Everytime I convince a department to buy some big MS product, I usually manage to flange an MSDN subscription on the end ;)

[gimpy530]

I'm planning on putting it on my boot monster along with a dozen or so more OSs......but it will be a bit till I use it on my primary PC and the main OS

[cHiNgY1788]

i think i can get vista business from my uni, wonder if they will get ultimate

[JoeC0180]

I choose to stick with Linux. Two of the three computers I have run linux so I won't be putting Vista on those. Neither would be able to run it anyway.

Sadly the one computer I have running XP, actually my gf's, wont run Vista either. I have no XP disk and she refuses to allow me to put linux on her computer so when hers dies is most likely when I will have a computer running Vista.

[cHiNgY1788]

i only use linux at uni... they dont like windows

in my house old only 2 computers can run vista, only one can take on the areo feature

[dohray]

In agreement with Murf on this. Sure, I like it up to now but not 100% sure if switch from XP really worth it.

It does look like they borrowed some things from Linux which is not a bad thing.

However, will definitely be running it as a dual boot Windows machine until convinced to use as a stand alone thingymajig.

I'm going to upgrade pretty soon I think. I already learned most about it from beta testing, but I'd like to learn more and make some more tutorials maybe if I find the time. I'm going to buy the OEM so I can keep XP (plus it's cheaper than the upgrade) and dual boot while having several shared virtual machines for Linux & FreeBSD. I'll probably have to shrink my large partition by 20 GBs for it, though.

[Redapple]

No I do not plan to upgrade to vista, I will still use Windows XP.

I was going to get the oem but its only 32bit editions from newegg. could not find the 64.

[RolledTight]

I really wish people wouldn’t just rush out to buy Vista. XP still is far from perfect, why allow this company to make another $100billion on shabby, unfinished, overpriced products? And the fact that they have another OS already in the works? Pshhh. I don’t plan to upgrade for the next several years minimum.
