How much is Windows Vista going to cost?
599272
I say ranging from £200-£400\n\nThat includes all the versions within the above range and remmeber an upgrade version costs less than buying a brand new one

It's for evaluation purpouse only, so you can consider it trial. The license will expire the moment Microsoft will officialy launch Vista on market, which is at the begining of next year.

Yes and no. Yes it will be very good and will doubtlessly look better. The GUI looks nicer and is less cluttered (by the looks of it.) Everything has been re-written, so all of that out-of-date parts of Windows are no more. However, the problem is that new coding means that they haven't corrected all the mistakes they made in the old one - they may (and have done already) make the same mistakes again that were corrected back in Windows 3.1 days.\n\nSo I say, yeah it's gonna be great, but be weary whilst on the internet for the first few months. Perhaps wait a few months until they patch all the initial problems and then go for it. Plus, you will almost certainly need a new PC to be able to run Vista.

I just got this from my CallForHelpTV newsletter about Windows Vista; Windows Vista is undoubtedly the most eagerly awaited software release of the past year. And staying true to form, Microsoft has pushed the release date back a few times. As the projected release dates have drawn nearer, was always an expectation that a delay announcement isn't far off. However, it appears the wait is almost over... really... probably. \nVista beta testers who reported one or more bugs during the development were given access to the final release as of yesterday. In two weeks, the final release will be available to volume license customers. If you're interested in getting your hand on a stand alone copy to install on your existing computer, you still have to wait until January 30. \n\nI hope this helps.

I have beta tested Windows Vista, and yes it does look pretty. But that is not the only changes , there are actually some new cool features on there that will be very useful. Only prob is it is a little more demanding then windows XP is, so not everyone will be able to upgrade right away. As far as it bieng buggy.....its Windows , what can we say haha

No, not unless it's preloaded with a new system I buy and I can't get a discount by having it unloaded.  I have XP, it works fine, and unless I can get a license for Vista legally for no charge, I'll continue using XP or I'll put on Ubuntu instead.

They haven't "officially" released Vista out to a world wide beta.  If you want to get a copy, you will have to use some of the "black market" methods.

Scope out your first answer. Vista looks good.

These rumours are most likely to be some kind of hoaxes. Why would Microsoft refuse to get some cash selling Vista, even if some will use pirate versions ? It would not make sense. According to sources, the retail price should be around $100.

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!

Yes.\n\nWhen 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!

Microsoft is releasing Windows Vista as the next version of Windows.  For more information about it, see my source...

Windows Vista is the next generation of the Microsoft Windows operating system.  Just like Windows 98 replaced Windows 95 and Windows XP replaced Windows 2000/ME/etc., Windows Vista will replace Windows XP. And soon too.  It is supposed to release in January 2007.\n\nWhat is so special about it?  That depends on what you are looking for in an operating system.  The short answer, for home users, is the graphics capabilities will make it possible for software developers to create "eye candy" for users.  Things like 3D effects, transparencies, etc...  Add to the visualization, a new version of Internet Explorer (tabbed browsing. think Firefox.) and huge improvements to searching the contents of your hard drive and in my opinion most Windows users are going to find the upgrade useful.  \n\nThat being said, Mac OS X users are likely to point out that Mac has had these features for a while now. To each their own.\n\nIf you would like a more independent approach to Vista and it's new features, check out the entry in Wikipedia.  It is a pretty good one.

It's slated to be released in late 2006 or early 2007. I'd bet late 2006, around the same time Windows Vista will be released.
