That didn’t go over too well. Something about my computer being 97 in computer years.

If I got a new computer? Ya definitely.

SP1 sounds really hefty, though, so have fun with that. :)

@Anthony: Are you going to go with Vista on your next upgrade?

Before he got it I really hated it. Ya. The entire 2 minutes that I used it in a store. Okay maybe it was less time.

But I liked it when I used it on his computer. Well sort of.

It without question looks much better. It didn’t seem to lag at all. Well at least not because of the UI.

Something I didn’t like was that it provides far too much information. Okay. Yes it’s good to have access to a lot of info. Just not when your trying to find the most basic info. Yes. Networking stuff is complicated by nature. But the last thing I need is to be told the v6 IP. I want the v4 IP god darn it (so far their exactly the same almost 99% of the time from what I’m told – Which is what got me all confused).

Oh and the games. Their nice. Well if you want to play solitaire or mindsweep. If you want to play World of Warcraft you may have a issue. And they took out pinball from what I could tell. I mean ya I have not used it since… Like 4 years ago… But it’s the most pretty game on a default install of windows!

Majority of people don’t want to deal with workarounds – they just want it to work. I know we’re a special breed, but still. :)

I’m still hesitant, so I’m letting other people test around before I jump in.

I agree that the driver support is complete crap. I have had to find workarounds for many of the programs i’ve used without problem on XP. However, SP1 for Vista should be coming some time soon-ish so perhaps that will yield better results?

Overall, if i could choose the OS i wanted a few months back, i would have stuck with XP. Vista will be useful next year sometime as computer hardware comes down in price and driver support is improved…
