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.

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!

HAHA, nice joke! I appreciate your sense of humor. But, if you're really serious then plz use any file sharing application like eMule or eDonkey, Bit Torrent etc. That way you can search and download Windows Vista!

I Do not beleive its worth the effort. If you really want to give your system a little up beat, I suggest you download the Official Royale Theme, which Microsoft released for xp go to\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/Royale-Theme-for-WinXP.shtml\n\nOther functionalities which will be in the Vista include widgets, you can download Yahoo widgets, which is a cool piece of software\nhttp://widgets.yahoo.com/\nlastly for the Vista integrated fast search will be quite fast, you can achieve a performance close to it by download google or yahoo desktop search. \nAll three of these softwares come without spyware and adware and they will give your system a temporary boost while you can continue to wait for Windows Vista's next january release :-)

Team at Microsoft has put in a lot of hard work on their upcomming OS that is Vista. More security features and would be lot better than the current one. I tested the BETA 1 of Vista and was impressed. But i would personally suggest you to go with VIsta in early 2008. As it would be a new product still they might have to work on many thing even when it would be released. So why not wait and read the reviews. Once when things settle in early 2008 go for it. I am sure you are dying to lay your hands on VISTA but have patience.

No.  I won't try it until it been out of beta testing for at least a year.  Too many potential problems that only real users under real conditions will find.  And then Microsoft will have to come up with the patches and fixes.  Look at XP..... we're on SP2 and there's talk MS will be releasing SP3 because of the delay in getting Vista off the ground.  No thanks, I don't have the time or desire to do Microsoft's field testing.  Especially since they ain't gonna be paying me for the privilege of messing up a computer.

a bit too long to say how much Vista sucks.\nI'll let microsoft explain\n\n" With Administrator Approval Mode, Windows Vista will run most applications with standard user permissions even if the user is an administrator. If a user wishes to run a program that requires administrator permissions, they must give consent through a User Account Control prompt."\nthe all article is here http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/security/uacppr.mspx\n \nyou may want to read http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=44

Vista would be able to run even with out an upgrade(but you will not get full functionality) \nSo an upgrade will help.

Vista being still a Beta software has very limited driver support.\n\nhttp://www.2wire.com/?p=266

they're kind of vague, as it hasn't been released yet, but i think it would work.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/evaluate/hardware/vistahardware.mspx

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

I installed it on my friends computer (because my computer wouldn't handle it) and got bored with it after an hour.\n\nIt reminds me a lot of Mac OS X. Vista and OS X both have an instant search, both now have "widgets", and it seems Vista is trying to copy OS X's interface.\n\nThe only thing I like was how they combined Windows Media Edition Center in with Vista... That's about the only thing helpful with the public wanting to use their computer as entertainment center.\n\nThe thing I noticed (and is going to make people mad) is trying to use what was Outlook Express on Vista. Anyone who doesn't know what they are doing and trying to set up the POP3 and all that information to get their e-mails, will likely not use that program. (For the life of me, I can't remember what the e-mail program is now called.)\n\nI own/run XP, but I have messed around with a Mac at my friends work, so that is why I know of Mac OS X. I'll stick with XP until I get a new PC computer in the future and they fix all the kinks out of Vista (about a year after it's release).
