It's due out in the second half of 2007 (over a year from now).  Note - this is Microsoft and they have been known to change their minds, either failing to release it at all or pushing it back.\n\nAs for Vista - It's not due out until next year (for home users) and THAT could be delayed.  (Microsoft, again, is KNOWN for pushing back their release dates).  I wouldn't run it until the first service pack is released - or a year.  Whichever is first.  Unless you WANT to be a guinea pig for Microsoft.  I mean more than most people.

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!

According to some areas of Microsofts Vista tech blog, the code is supposed to be completed by August 31st, which will give them the early release so they can get out new computers running Vista before Christmas season... This is apparently 6 months earlier than they had originally planned on releasing it. Though in my personal opinion.. don't get it right away.. wait until they fix it.. which they always have to do.

Windows Vista, while providing comprehensive core system upgrades, follows the same rules as previous versions of Windows.  It works on the "Three Click" principle (meaning you should be able to access most features with no more than three clicks), it has a taskbar, start menu, etc. \n\nIt's file folder system has seen dramatic changes that, at first, will probably take some getting used to but are not that much of a leap forward.\n\nThe new 3D engine in Vista (Aero) is neat, and provides some unique opportunities to programmers.\n\nOverall I have enjoyed Vista Beta 2, and am eagerly looking forward to the final release!

You need a gig of RAm to run Windows Vista...download the Beta here (you have to burn it to a disk)...\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/downloads/default.aspx\nOtherwise, you can download over fifteen different Windows operating systems here...\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/products/info/default.aspx?view=22&pcid=ea710cad-37b0-4975-bcd6-abfee19961df

Vista won't let you install software unless you are the Administrator, and user accounts no longer have administrative access enabled by default. That is one of the "Features" that Microsoft implemented to make it more secure. Discard the Vista Beta, revert to Windows XP, and go back to having administrative access until you understand access levels and permissions. By that time Vista will be available on store shelves, and hopefully out of Beta. Otherwise, reboot and sign in as the System Administrator before you download Yahoo Messenger. While you are signed on as Admin, you might think about granting your user account admin priveleges. That will make it more like XP, but ultimately less secure.

Nowhere. You are not a webmaster or a technician.  So you will have to wait a Buy Vista when it comes out later on this year.

Windows XP is the current Windows Operating System. Vista won't be available until sometime in January. In the XP family there is service pack 2 which you can download from www.microsoft.com but ONLY if you have legitimate software and the copy of Windows you are running isn't pirated.

The only difference that microsoft has released about vista is that its more media oriented operating system. (ofcourse they will have enterprise version too.)\n\nThe media player is practially transparent. You can see your desktop through the media player. \n\nIt also has the function where you can listen to music and watch movies without actually booting up the entire OS. This feature is also available on some new xp laptops/desktops.\n\nVista also will have all the latest drivers that will be compatible with every hardware as on the date of release. It is also expected to have built in bluetooth capability. \n\nI also read on some website (i dont remember which one) that vista will be using a completely new file system called WinFS, unlike the present one that is NTFS. \n\nIt also boasts of having advanced security features and protection agains spyware, adware, malware, badware..etc.

Windows Vista Beta: A lot like Mac OS X\n\nAfter playing around with my newly-installed copy of Windows Vista Beta 2 for a couple of hours, the thought that kept popping up in my head over and over again like a persistent mole was: "Wow, that's a lot like the Mac."\n\nFrom the emphasis on searching and not browsing (Spotlight) to the Windows Sidebar (Dashboard) which runs Gadgets (Widgets), to the built-in Windows Calendar (iCal), the similarities are striking. Come look with me, after the jump.\n\nWidgets and Gadgets\nMac OS X Dashboard widgets:\n\n \nWindows Vista Sidebar with Gadgets (just two letters off!):\n\n \nHome directory view\nMac OS X Finder:\n\n \nWindows Vista Explorer:\n\n \nBuilt-in calendar\nMac OS X iCal:\n\n \nWindows Calendar:\n\n \nSearch don't browse\nMac OS X Spotlight:\n\n \nWindows Vista (no longer) Start menu search:\n\n \nNow, don't get me wrong: tech products have been stealing adapting one another's ideas since the dawn of computing. Hell, Lifehacker didn't invent the weblog, or even the term "life hack"! So our glass house couldn't survive any thrown stones.

Windows Vista is Microsofts new full 32-bit architecture operating system. No more hybrid 16/32-bit like 98/2000/ME/XP. It has smoother graphics, a new file system called WinFS, a more perplexed format and layout of the menus. All together it's a whole new ballgame compared to Windows XP. High hardware requirements to run also.
