I was told that many games run "faster" on vista, but I'm not sure about that. I'm pretty happy with XP. I've backed up my C: drive and played with Vista for a short time, but I couldn't do something I usually do, so I tossed it and re-applied my xp image.
I just see no reason for it. All my stuff works just fine with XP.
I have a nice, slimmed down version of XP too... it's 180megs.
I might wait until someone releases a nice, trimmed-down version of Vista as well. :) I like running a light OS so that I have more memory for games.

Wait 6 months to a year. I suspect Microsoft is already working on Service Pack #1 for Vista.

I have Vista on my computer. It's pretty good, I guess. The biggest downside to it is the amount of system resources it uses. I don't need my operating system to use 512 MB of RAM. It's unnecessary. If you have a computer that can handle Vista as well as any other memory-hogging programs, then go for it. Otherwise, I don't think it's worth upgrading from XP at this point.

I'm not sure. If it was just my computer I would, as I can adapt but my computer is shared by my dad and he's a bit clueless. In my opinion, Windows are trying to be Mac, so if you want that, get a Mac and an up to date software package. You'd have to buy a computer again anyway to have the right specs (well, 9 times out of 10).

No frigging way. My machine came with XP, I'm sticking with XP until I get my next PC. Rumor is Vista needs at least 2Gb of RAM, which is why I suspect you see Dell/HP etc.. pushing the 2Gb upgrades for the last 3 months and giving away 250Gb hard drives. I'm staying right where I am.

I have heard from most people that it is really cool and much better than old programs but I did have one individual tell me that it is the basically the same as the other programs.
I don't have it but I am interested in getting it. I just hope that they have all the bugs worked out of it.

i want to get it but not sure which version. i'll probably get a new system instead. the computer im using now might be too slow for a vista upgrade :(

I'll wait until 2009, when the tech support for XP ends.......
it's slower than XP, great features, but not for me YET.

All it is is a cheap ripoff of OS X for Mac. It doesn't even work as well as OS X. Get a Mac instead. Once you go Mac, you never go back!
