Official Windows Vista is not released yet. But some magazines permitted to evaluate the beta version. They said, Vista has a lot of good enhancement. But, requires more powerfull hardwares.

First Windows Vista is delayed until early 2007, so no need to do anything right now.  Most hardware purchased recently, if it is sufficiently powerful will be adequate for Windows Vista. I have the beta version (Community Technology Preview) running as a second boot partition on my PC and it seems to run fine.  One thing I did have to do was to upgrade my video card from the on board video to a separate nVidia card.  For the Aero UI (transparency effect), you'll need this.  Windows Movie Maker and other applications (like DVD Maker) probably won't run without it either.\n\nFor comparison I have a 3.2GHz 1GB machine, 250GB drive (with an auxilliary 300GB added later) and an nVidia 6800GS video card.\n\nWhether you want to upgrade is up to you, but I can understand wanting to be ready.  As someone else noted, since the product was delayed such that Microsoft will miss the 2006 Holiday Shopping period, they are going with a 'Windows Vista Capable' sticker instead.  Look for manufacturers to start selling PCs with this sticker later this year.

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.

Windows Vista is the next version of Microsoft Windows operating system, superseding Windows XP. It was previously known by its codename Longhorn, after the Longhorn Saloon, a popular bar in Whistler, British Columbia (see the other Microsoft codenames). The name "Vista" was unveiled on July 22, 2005. According to sources, the scheduled release date for Windows Vista is currently July 23, 2006. That release date is only scheduled for PC vendors so that systems will be made Vista-ready before Christmas. The general public availability is projected to be around late October to early November 2006, five years after the release of Windows XP, making this the longest time span between releases of desktop versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system.\n\nWindows Vista has many new features such as an updated graphical user interface called Aero, improved searching technology, a number of new security features, and completely new networking, audio, print, and display engines. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network using peer-to-peer technology, making it easy to share files, password settings, and digital media between computers and devices. Windows Vista also has an entirely new development API, called WinFX, based on the .NET framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for developers to write high-quality applications than with WinFX's predecessor, Win32. In many ways, as Bill Gates has said, Windows Vista is the broadest and biggest update since Windows 95, which was released over ten years ago.\n\nWindows Vista will carry the version number 6.0 (Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 being Windows NT versions 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2, respectively).\n\nWindows Server "Longhorn", the successor to Windows Server 2003, is also under development, and will be based on the Windows Vista codebase. It is expected to be released in the first half of 2007.

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

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!

That will be Windows Vista (codename Longhorn), originally scheduled for 2003 but was barely introduced for preview in mid-2005. It is scheduled to be released mid-2006. Screen shots are available on the Microsoft website.
