Just wondering if anyone is willing to jump on the windows vista ride? I ran the RC1 and 2 and found it a very slow, resource hog. My computer is a 4400+ dual core running at 2.6 G with 2 gigs of ram cas2 (2325), a wd raptor150 10000 rpm drive, and a radeon x1900XT 512mb. those who know about hardware no this isn't a slow computer. it also took up 2.7 gigs on my HD juist for the windows directory. talk bloatware anyone? So whos gonna take the plung, they say it's a little faster now?

Vista has a few downsides of the fence: * Most of the games are no longer be supported by XP unless it does say it on the program's minimum system requirements. * Most of the computers are Vista when built and don't support an XP downgrade * Vista takes up more memory in which you should get a very good laptop for matching your lifestyle. Productivity and basic games (under $1000) or High Definition Games (Over $2000) When I get a Vista computer, I have it built by the OEM manufacturer's site instead as I have a line of credit with them and have the best deal done on it which is the most expensive of course but worth it. The cheapest the computer isn't always that good if you are considering buying high definition games like Crysis to run on it.

I had the same happen to me. With both releases it got a bit better. I have been told by friends that have the final that they took off a bunch of the extra stuff that RC1 and 2 had. I am not going to upgrade for a while till they get the bugs worked out.

Bill Gates desperately needs your money!! Does your machine do everything you need it to already??
Then screw Bill Gates, and Windows Vista.
It'll probably eventually become industry standard, just like every version of Windows before it, but unless you want to be another guinea pig for Uncle Bill, then I'd wait until at least one service pack has been released, and probably a little longer.
In the meantime, 90% of people that get it don't need it, and most of them will be trying to load it on their old worn out machine.
The same thing happens every time Microsoft releases a new version of windows, people flock out to buy it, even though there is no compelling reason to do so, except to brag to their tech geek buddies...

Yeah, RC2 was much better. I'll probably dual boot XP and Vista for a time. Because I know some older programs won't run on Vista and Vista programs won't run on XP. My answer is use both until Vista finally has a majority foothold in the market. Or until XP is no longer supported, whichever comes first.

It runs fine for me with:
core 2 duo E6600 (OC @ 2.8)
BFG 8800 GTX OC
4GB OCZ DDR2 6400
250GB X2 in RAID 0 (Maxtor HDD's)
Danger Den watercooling
I meet & beat all sys req but I dont consider upgrading right away.

Well considering both releases were upgrades, sometimes upgrades just don't fair well.
Try the full install and see if that works any better.
