Dechristo Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Sixteen aerialists perform on a giant billboard at the the launch of Windows Vista and Microsoft Office in New York January 29, 2007. The performance featured an original score from the new Windows Vista soundtrack. Yeah, it's MS, but is this OS good? Quote
drater Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 xp will be obsolete in a year and a half. Welcome to 2005. Quote
Couloir Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 HYPE So...HYPE? I agree. I also understand only about 15% of computers right now can even run it. I'll wait thanks. Quote
AlpineK Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 The advice I heard on some news program was to go ahead and get it if you're getting a new computer, but forget about it if you just out to upgrade. Quote
olyclimber Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 or just avoid computers all together. that would be my advice. Quote
Alex Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah, it's MS, but is this OS good? I've been working with it and testing it for a year and a half now. In the beginning, it was not a fun product. Its decent now. Its hardware intensive, though, so I would echo the above advice: if you're getting a new machine, get Vista, otherwise stick with XP on older hardware Quote
EWolfe Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 or just avoid computers all together. that would be my advice. Do as I say, not as I do? I remember that one... Quote
gapertimmy Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Is the Windows Vista Soundtrack available on iTunes? Quote
ashw_justin Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 The system demands alone should tell you all that you need to know... no operating system should need that much power. So what else is Vista going to do (aside from wasting most of it--perhaps a best-case scenario). We want that power for autonomous applications, not for Windows to steal it away for all of the inferior and proprietarily obfuscated Microsoft software that it will force you to run constitutively and perpetually.

ClimbingPanther Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 It's a conspiracy with computer makers since very few people need the computing capacity currently available, so people have to get a new computer they shouldn't need if they want to upgrade windows. no thanks. Quote
