Early days yet but worth looking at

http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/01/29/xp-vs-vista

I think its gonna be big once it gets going

Yeah like anything new it will have teething problems,It's becoming a whole new ball game now

i didn't expect vista to be faster with the games, with more resources being hogged, and that seems to be the case.
though i would like to have seen FSX run on it, as it was developed to run under vista.

Wait until you get a dx10 graphics card then we can expect people getting Vista once some good dx10 sims are released.(or in the case of FSX you already have a reason) I'd wait though until the graphics card comes down in price.

its interesting to see shops selling "vista computers" with 512mb of RAM, youd be prety disapointed if you brought that system for well over a grand, xp only starts running well with 512mb...

I won't be getting vista for at least a year. Win XP does everythign I want it too just fine

and the home basic version, no doubt. it doesn't have all the nifty features that the premium version has (like aero).

10 reasons you don't need vista yet

I just got swamped by the MS marketing machine for Vista.
While coming up for a gulp of air, I noticed the pricing.
Can you see yourself shelling out 350 smackers - for a home upgrade??
And if you need the working business model, try $500, again upgrade price only.
I am keeping an eye on Vista OEM machines...

If your a student or know one who will go to the shops with you, the Academic upgrade for home premium in $196

Vista Ultimate has a hefty price of $600? Luckily, I was able to get it from my parents 100% free, as a reward of working 7hours each day on the farm during the last 7 weeks of holidays B)

my brother's just installed vista home premium on his PC (Sempron 3000+, 512MB, FX5900XT) and it's running quite smoothly so far

Ive got vista home premium on my Compaq Pressario V6126 (512ram and 1.6 Celeron) and is running better than i had expected, apart from Nokia PC suite not being compatible thus far,

Brownbox, that equates to $2.85 an hour (on a 5 day week)

I know my pay is junk. I get $10.50 a week for working this long. Crappy I know, but in the end, with all these little extras, +biirthdays chirstmas etc, it ends up at about $3000 a year, not bad considering I am only 14, and for most of the year while at college, I only work 2 hours a day (get home at 4:30)

Its all good, wish i was working at 14 and saving money....... Just remember as soon as you hit 16 (i think) demand minimum wage

Roll on the 64bit games 1st they better mass produce some dx10 graphics cards and quad core cpus though.
