The most ignorant thing I have ever heard is when people say they'll upgrade to vista when sp1 is out. its not gonna make it run faster or anything.

new computers require new hardware. why dont all you haters go back to windows 95

My old computer with 64mb Ram runs XP fine yet my newish sony vaio won't run vista well at all, and anyway i don't want bill gates checking my sites out.

Bill Gates wouldn't give a $#@! dude XD

I used Vista on my PC for 8 months with on gig of DDR Ram, now it runs better with 2 DDR2, but it was still mainly fine with 1.

[bah]

Its not going to be terrible, theres just no advantage whatsoever to upgrading to vista and quite a few disadvantages.

The whole DX10 thing is just pathetic on MS's behalf, they couldn't create an OS that was actually worth upgrading to, so they are going to slowly force windows gamers onto it.

If you're one of the people that love jumping in head first without checking the waters then thats great for all those who aren't, as early adopters are the ones who get to enjoy a far greater deal of the bugs/issues before they are resolved.

With the whole 'playing music slows network performance' vista-exclusive issue, I would say SP1 might actually make the OS perform better (faster) in some ways. Fixing bugs does sometimes increase speed, on top of just reducing hassles for the user.

A new computer is new hardware, did you mean requires new software? There are XP drivers for all modern hardware I could think of wanting to use, what advantage does vista have in this regard?

OpenGL only through a Direct3d wrapper, go go Microsoft arrogance.

Im not waiting for SP1 for speed reasons, I am waiting for there to be less bugs. My current computer can easily handle Vista.

Im waiting to get a key myself, I borrowed a trial from my friend to see if it was for me or not, and I loved it. So I gotta go out and buy the disc now, I hate running in reduced funcunality, but if you know computers you can access 75% of your system like that.

I bought XP the month of release. I suppose it was just a coincidence that things quit crashing after I downloaded service pack 1.

Come to think of it, What was service pack 1 for anyway? It couldnt be full of... you know... BUG FIXES AND IMPROVED HARDWARE/SOFTWARE SUPPORT! Improved memory handling and better hardware support could certainly make Vista run faster. I dont know what SP1 will contain for vista, but if it is anything like XP's service pack it will improve things quite a bit.

But wth am I talking about?... I dont even have windows installed on this machine.
