I honestly can't decide between a new PC with Vista or a Mac for college. We'll see. |

I received a free copy a few days ago, since I was on a school trip to Microsoft Egypt. I am still debating myself whether to install it or not, I have been using Linux for a few years now, and I despise Microsoft. |

My Web design teacher told my class this yesterday. Here is how the conversation went: Mrs. Teacher: Did everyone watch the today's show this morning? Class: No Mrs Teacher: Microsoft is comming out with a new program called Vista. Class: oooohh aawww Mrs Teacher: I am so excited I am going to put this on our compture at home. Student: Are we getting if for the computers here(at school). Mrs Teacher: No we don';t even have XP installed. I alsmost died of laughter. We are so far behind it is not even funny. NO wonder why ever program sucks on my computers at school. I don't know if I will be getting Vista for my compy at home. I know my father won't update and honestly I love my computer. I have used about 20 gb and I only have 30gb on the whole compy. And beleive it or not (I SAID BELEIVE IT OR NOT) it still runs supper fast. I haven't gotten a horrible virisus either. So I am happy with my XP. He is doing fine. But if I do buy a new laptop in the distant future it will probably have vista on it so meh. As long as I can play the sims2 and do some wannabe graphics then I am fine.

Well it's finally out. Anyone manage to get it yet? I think I'll just wait and by a whole new computer with it installed later on rather then upgrade my current since it is crap. |

It's not just your RAM, it's also your graphics card; you might need to upgrade that. Btw, thanks.

Aye but remember the non-Aero UI is basically a re-skinned version of Luna (the default XP theme) so you won't need a graphics card...and providing your card was made within the past two or three years and is a standalone chip, it'll be fine with Aero anyway |

Though buying Vista and not using Aero is like buying chocolate chip cookies and not eating the chocolate chips. |
