Has anyone heard any news about co-operation between Sun Microsystems & Microsoft on the Vista OS?

WMP 11 is built specifically for Vista on which it works perfectly well (I've had both up and running for about 8 weeks now) but I have also heard a lot of tales of woe like yours because it won't run exactly right on earlier versions ...\nI suggest a roll-back to WMP10 for you

Since that MAC has taken the virus and spyware issue seriously, it will continue to grow.  \n\nWindows Vista promises that these problems will go away.  Beta testers have told me that it looks pretty good, but the upgrade path might mean that some old hardware will have to be replaced. \n\nSo unless, DELL and other computer manufacturers don't start including Windows Vista on the computers, the Macintosh will start taking market share. \n\nBasically, this is too close to call.  I would not use this to decide to buy Apple stock or Microsoft stock.  Nether are a in a position to win this one. \n\nRead this:\nI have installed Windows Vista beta2 \nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/KeepYourComputerAlive/message/324?l=1\n\nOS-X vs. XP \nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/KeepYourComputerAlive/message/307?l=1

Thats part of what MS Vista is geared towards. But your going to have to wait for some of the functionality to come out since the first version of MS Vista is not going to have some of the functionality they talked about. I'd wait a couple of versions before buying it.

Go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.  Vista is going to make all of these "bargain" computers that you can buy at Wal-Mart, Circuit City, etc. JUNK when it is released in January.\n\nI bought a complete, new system from them with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer.  You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926.  That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.\n\nI have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding.  Those guys blow my mind.\n\nThey had a system that was designed from the ground up to be a high end graphics/gaming system (their XW9300 series) for less than $800.  You can't beat that.\n\nGood luck!

Vista still has a few bugs in the RC1 and RC2 .... you could try running it through your Xbox ...if you have one ... it works fine done that way

Why not test them if you already have Vista running?  Considering Microsoft's long-term stance of backwards compatibility I would imagine they would all work.

yes you should be able to get Vista through MSDN. However this is a costly proposition. MSDN costs A LOT! Plan to buy it in a store, unless you have access to MSDN through your work or school, if applicable.

Not 100% but it will be totally YES to a new computer user, the system have been re-designed to make sure the user will able to use Windows Vista like a embedded platform (e.g. NOKIA Symbian OS) with less worry and more convenience like Mac OS X series, as user don't have to understand much more (compare to Windows XP) how a OS work inside a PC and interact with you.\n\nOf course it takes time again to learn to use Windows Vista if you are already get usual with Windows XP.\n\nPlease remember that it is hard to get a nice balance among OS performance, usability and security measure. Every OS is having the same risk, except Windows platform is having much higher risk as it has a very high popularity among PC users around the world.

You might want to remove the Microsoft JVM, which Microsoft no longer supports, in favor of the more recent Sun Microsystems JVM. To remove the Microsoft JVM:\n\n http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/java.php\n\nSun JAVA SOFTWARE for Your Computer\n\nhttp://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

When you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net.  I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready.\n\nMicrosoft is about to release its latest operating system, Vista, in January.  It’s going to make all of these “bargain” computers nothing but JUNK as soon as it’s released.  The reason that you are seeing so many cheap systems on the market right now is because a lot of them CAN’T RUN Vista and the merchants are trying to dump them as hard and fast as they can before Vista shows up and everyone learns what a piece of crap they were sold for $500 (or whatever).\n\nAnyway, I bought a complete, new system from stupidcheapcomputers.net with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer.  You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926.  That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.\n\nI have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding.  Those guys blow my mind.\n\nGood luck!

RC2 is release candidate 2 and RTM is release to manufacturing.  I have been running the beta vista through the release candidates and yes, release to manufacturing is pretty much it unless there is a major recall or adjustment that is so vital it must pull it back from manufacturing.  it is stated that june of 2007 is when the release candidate copies will no longer be valid so i would start looking then for the permanent vista to be advertised and then released in sept of 2007.  thats according to microsoft.

hi, i have been searching for the Windows Vista latest edition for over the past week, and few days back i found that the latest complete download you can find is that of \nWindows Vista 32 Bit Build 5270. also known as the December CTP version.\n\nYou are good enough to find the torrents. :). Keep us updated on howz vista. I am still at 24% in 2 days as my school network is firewalled!

Microsoft has announced that Windows Vista will be broadly available as a stand-alone product or pre-installed on new PCs on January 30, 2007.\n\nWindows Vista will be made available to Volume License customers later in the month of November 2006.\n\nWhat I have noticed now from a lot of retailers is that if you purchase a new laptop or desktop you are given a free upgrade to Vista when it becomes available.

Just like XP there are going to be a few versions of Vista, The current beta version of Vista that I am using is very buggy and the driver support is not very good (having to decorate my own). Vista is going to have the same problems as XP 64, What I mean by that is that it will take maybe a year or two for the hardware and software makers to catch up. But it is a good looking OS. With most Windows Software they never really get replaced just placed alongside a different version.

Never ever think of waiting for more new hardware or software, they always develop.\nUsing a 64 bit CPU is a good option, also great for future updates when the windows 64-bit will be more available, for now have it & have the PCI-E cards, they are the new era of technology. Vista will be even compatible with older technologies so how come about your state-of-art parts? They will be kicking for years :D\n\nGo ahead & have them, choose well & God bless you
