Your opinion please, will vista include Java?

In my opinion... not even if it snowed in hell. Considering how Microsoft tried to undermine Sun's Java technology, I think it unlikely that the two companies will partner in anything in the near future.\n\nSun sued Microsoft and under the settlement, Microsoft paid Sun $20 million and was permanently prohibited from using "Java compatible" trademarks on its products. Sun also had the option to terminate the licensing agreement it signed with Microsoft.

Heard both are good. Vista Well take about a year for softwares and things to be comptiable with it. Just like how windows Xp was when it 1st came out. I dont recommand buying vista as soon as it comes out. Wait at lest 6 months untill they get rid of the bugs and it's more comptiable to softwares. it will take at lest 1-2yrs for softwares to be comptiable. As for Office 07 that should be fine. But it might only work on Vista... But i'm a Mac User. so I'll Wait for Leopard OS X to be released! =P

Vista should be out early 2007, if all goes well. There's already a beta for it, however.\n\nVista is an operating system, but I assume you mean hardware. You probably need 256 MB RAM, 1ghx or more processor, and 5GB hard drive space. But why waste your time with Windows? Get Linux! It's FREE!

ok, i have been using computers with windows since 3.1, and every operating system has had so many bugs right off the hop ... i know they are working with vista so it doesn't, but so far their track record speaks louder than the hype.\n\nAlso, I am very content with XP.  I have loved it from day one and at this point in my computer usage life, I just want to stay with something that is proven and I like.  In the past, I have always been one of the first to try new software, new versions, new O/S, but lately, what I am experiencing and seeing in the "new" stuff is that it is bloated, has features that aren't really needed, and in many cases, is dumbed down to the least common denominator of user.  (speaking specifically here of paintshop pro 10 and 11, but there are others as well).  For the first time ever, I find myself preferring older versions of programs, because all too often they are better than their successors.\n\nIn fact, I am so against getting Vista that I am purchasing a new computer this year, rather than waiting as planned, so that I DON'T get Vista!

Yes, Vista will be worth the wait! However, if you need a new machine now, make sure it is capable of running Vista in the future.\n\nMinimum 512 meg ram, video/graphics card with at least 256 meg. 3.2 GHZ CPU.

Most likely all of the programs that you have and that are still supported by their manufacturer will work on vista. Just like almost all windows 98 programs ran on XP. Office 2003 is being replaced with Office 2007. I have the beta, and it is a much nicer program. However, i think 2k3 will also run on Vista.

in correction to the previous post,\nwindows vista is out and available for testing aproximately 2months ago i was looking on windows update and saw an arcticle on vista\nit had released 100,000 downloads of the new software for anybody looking to be a beta tester, all 100,000 copies are gone now soif you want it you will have to obtain it illegaly...\nin my recomendation you should wait til the final release of vista as it is likely to have less bugs and have been updated been made more user friendly.\nwhat i can tell you is they are no longer using the standard start bar navigation.

JAVA might not be installed. You need to have JAVA to play almost any yahoo game.

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.

Vista is still in beta, you should probably take anything you see on your system or anything you hear about it at this point with a grain of salt. It's not done yet.\n\nI don't have a machine to run Vista on at the moment, but I am cautiously optimistic. Some of the things they're doing with drivers, memory management and security sound good, at any rate. The eye candy is apparently important to some people, and what I've seen is pretty nice, but the graphics really aren't important in the long run.\n\nTo address the Mac zealot above me, please bear in mind that a lot of the goodness OS X has is from the FreeBSD base. The machines cost more than their functional equivalents, and while it's nice and stable and sensical (thanks FreeBSD), it's years behind the curve in terms of games or other serious applications.

On the Java side it would probably be Sun's Java Studio Creator. It's free, but nothing is ever really free...  Your payment is that you buy into Sun's strategy which pushes their agenda. Although, it doesn't force Sun's agenda because you can still choose someone else's hardware/os (including windows) to run your app.

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.

you can download the vista beta from microsoft's website.  this requires a FAT net connection, and a DVD burner.  all the instructions you need are at the microsoft website.

< "Mainstream deployment of Vista won't even really begin until 2008, but Microsoft is trying to address issues related to enterprise and consumer issues now," said Gartner analyst Michael Silver. "They'll be careful to craft their announcements to reflect what's definitely going to appear." \n\nOne of Microsoft's Web sites revealed new information about different versions of the company's upcoming operating system, Windows Vista, but was posted prematurely and yanked off the network quickly. \nA page in the company's online help section noted that Microsoft will release eight different editions of the new operating system, although no formal announcements have been made about that plan. \n\nAfter removing the page, Microsoft noted that it would not confirm or deny the information, and will instead continue with its rollout of Vista details, which began months ago and is due to continue until the operating system ships in late 2006. \n\nIndustry Gossip \n\nMedia organizations that perused the Web site before it was removed noted that Microsoft would be offering six different editions of Vista for a U.S. and non-European audience. \n\nOne of the editions, reportedly called Windows Starter 2007, will be a stripped-down version of the system that is likely to be targeted at emerging markets that are trying to fight software piracy. \n\nOther editions supposedly include basic and premium versions for home users, and tailored editions for small businesses and large enterprises. \n\nThe Web site also noted that a higher-end product, named Windows Vista Ultimate, will be geared toward gamers and those who use multimedia extensively. \n\nTwo other variations do not include Windows Media Player, and would be targeted for Europe. The creation of these editions would comply with the European Union's antitrust rulings. \n\nFor more information check the site below.
