Vista is good. Everyone knows these are the min:

Intel Pentium 4 / Amd Athlon 64 3500+
1.5GB Ram
Nvidia 6X series Or ATI x1XXX Series as they support shader 3
And at least 25gb free.
And a clean dust free case

This is why you won't get? You know a lot from not having, right?

The second link seen there is rather lame! "gee vista use more memory then xp!"? So XP uses more memory then previous versions! like 98 for instance. Nothing new since programs are also larger now then when XP first came out.

Without the glitter of the Aero themes it becomes what? Simply another version of Windows with it's own annoyances. XP has some of it's own to consider. ME was a total flop! 98 had it's own driver issues, etc. etc. etc....

2000 was quite solid I found. Good upgrade from 98 or ME systems. Also not bad if your PC can't run XP.

People who hate Vista don't know why Vista is so great. It sure does use tons of ram and thats a GREAT thing because ram is so much faster than a hard drive, and all of you people who are going to say "ram is way to expensive" you are wrong, you can get 4gb of 1000mhz off of newegg for $100. Vista has pushed the hardware envelope and has made the hardware engineers make newer better products.

That Is All.

Link to why you should get Vista.

Dear pc-tech: Have you actually tried Vista? It sounds as if you haven't (if you have, my bad, but by judging from your comment "this is why i wont get vista," I'm guessing you haven't).

What's the point of this thread? Really....I mean any random person can make a thread and say "vista is the worstess operating sistim eversz lolz" and know that everyone will agree with them. We already have a ton of these.

Oh, and by "Have you tried Vista" I mean for more than 5 seconds at an internet cafe. Anyways, I'm not trying to be...."rude" or whatever, but I just don't see the point. Oh well.
