Windows Vista
I just saw a picture of Windows Vista, it looks like Billy stole all of his ideas from Apple, any way do you think it would work well (as good as WinXP) on my Pentium 4 2.66Ghz?
Would you suggest I install the beta version? Anyone know when the final is coming out? thanks Last edited by Apokarteron; 11-20-2005 at 10:47 PM. |

It will run fine, you really only have to worry if your running a machine under 1Ghz and dont have a dedicated video card.

By the way have you seen pics? they've completely copied Apple Mac os X 10.4 Tiger, they've got widgets put in (only their not called widgets) and and all the buttons are aqua style. PC is a copy of Mac from the beginning... Last edited by Apokarteron; 11-21-2005 at 04:23 PM. |

except that there will actually be programs that will run on Vista.... There is a hell of a lot more to an OS then the visual style. Who cares if it has an object bar and "aqua" icons.
